A book detailing the Lowland Clearances. Where greedy Clan Cheifs/ landowners (and the desire of Westminster to see the end of the Militaristic Clan Chief structure) cleared poor tennant Scots workers off the land they worked to survive for fecking money making sheep 🐑. No offence to 🐑 but you are symbolic in causing an exodus of Scots to Canada, US and Australia, especially after the failed Jaccobite Rebellion(s) and Acts of Union

Saw Lynx trending & thought it was about Scotland getting oor big cats back in the wild. But I forgot Lynx have been ruled oot because of farming & livestock

It's ironic because l bought this book the other week where Scots were cleared from their wee hooses & land to makeway for sheep🙄

Al Jazeera English, please take note. London is the capital of England, not Britain. Edinburgh is the capital city of Scotland, Cardiff is Wales' capital, and for Northern Ireland, it's Belfast. There is no capital of Britain despite what the #AngloState would like you to believe. We are 4 nations.

Alternatively look at the Queensferry bridge connecting Lothian and Fife. Built within timescale and under budget.

Optimism is not dead!!!

Why don’t we just hand Texas, Florida, or Oklahoma to Russia? We can call it a “territory swap” for goodwill. Americans can just leave and go somewhere else or live under Russian rule. Absurd, right? Stop suggesting people should just give up their home to an invader.

Back in the 70s/80s/90s 20 of the most deprived areas in the UK used to be in Scotland. Now with thanks to the measures taken by @snp.org not one Scottish town or city does not appear on this shameful list.

Angela Rayner gives Labour a 12-month mission to save itself Internal party research finds its achievements are failing to cut through with voters, while people in all demographics are being tempted to switch to Reform

Nope, I'm stumped, Angela. i can't think of one reason why your party's achievements have been overlooked and Labour voters are suddenly more interested in such Reform issues as immigration and bathrooms.

Labour and the Lobbyists.

The closer Labour got to power, the closer the business lobby got to Labour to thwart laws, regulation; demand tax cuts, crony contracts.

The problem isn't confined to Labour, it afflicts all parties.

Need a public record and transcript of all business lobbying

The nuclear-powered submarine crisis The escalating problems with Britain's nuclear submarines, both operational and retired, should sound the alarm for Australia and the United States.

If anyone thinks the UK government of any colour is competent and gives a 💩 about Scotland explain this

People in Scotland are best equipped to decide what kind of country we want - not Westminster politicians.

Just look at the disaster of Brexit, austerity and soaring energy costs under both Tory and Labour governments.

The real change we need is independence. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Yep, and Israel is still murdering journalists.

STFU, RFK Jr, you ridiculous idiot. You don't care about the wellbeing of patients. You care about politics. You are actively undermining doctors' ability to protect their patients from measles and COVID. Your party forces women who have miscarried to bleed out in parking lots over your politics.

You cannot have a functioning economy when so few people at the top hold so much of the nation’s wealth. It’s not sustainable.

I genuinely don’t understand why the labour government would view retired vicars at a humanitarian demonstration in the same light as far right extremists plotting targeted violence.

I think this is state overreach to protect a political position.

We need to wrest back control of our economy. If WM refuses a S30 then we demand that Scotland is given control of all reserved matters.
We use our energy for our people, sell the rest. Continue with social progression and EU affinity. Get rid of nukes.
Please.
