Will he now be telling us that Nigel Farage won't be PM?

Did you get a reply?

The Scottish Government has two tasks once independence is decided: seperating from the UK, and joining the EU. They would happen in parallel.

#ScottishIndependence | #RejoinEU

They have some councillors who defected from the tories, don't they? Shameful from the BBC though.

Daily rant 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤬🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Murray will cling on. He has enough tory support.

Wake the fk up Scotland

This was Glasgow in the 70s under labour and we had oil in the North Sea, nothing much changed in the preceding 30 years as all the oil revenues went South to pay for Londons finance district, cross rail, M25 and City Airport, we were left with the ten worst slum areas in the Uk, now we have none.

I'm shocked I tell you, shocked

Maybe it’s just me, but that UK growth plan looks very English….(as if it would be anything else though).

Any Scot watching and listening to Rachael Reeves on this morning’s BBC Laura K will have it confirmed that we are on our own as a nation . Her answer to the closure of the Grangemouth Refinery when pushed on replacement jobs was that we are investing in new well paid jobs in the North of England .

The perfect quote for this image

we have to do more than just identify as Scottish we have to show that we're Scottish by supporting our right to (Independence)

don't dim the light that we have within us into what others want us to be, or how they expect us to act. let your
Scottishness shine through vote to free Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Riiiiiiiighhhhhhhht.

Labour is dismantling regulatory protections for consumers and the environment with far greater vigour than the last Government. If you attacked the Tories for doing it why are you biting your tongue now?

Enough of a difference to drag my country out against an overwhelming majority against.

Your major parties are pro-brexit.

Your view is the minority one in your country. Mine is the majority in mine. Its not xenophobic to point out that it was your country that imposed its will on mine. Its a cold hard fact.

You're missing the point. He isn't being xenophobic. Brexit was a xenophobic project rejected by Scots but imposed on us.

I'm pro-EU.

He's right.

So, what are the "boasted advantages"? What is the "positive case for the union"?

the Windsors?
The BBC?
Wars?

6. EU Membership

The majority of us rejected brexit but it was imposed on us. We wish to rejoin the EU, but this is impossible if we remain part of the UK now that Labour is a pro-brexit. Independence is the only route to allow us to rejoin nd to enjoy the benefits of working as an equal partner.

5. Economic potential

Scotland has a viable economic future as an independent nation, we have strong industries such as renewable energy, whisky exports, agriculture, fishing, life sciences, financial services and tourism. /6

4. Social Policy/identity
Unlike the rest of the UK, we are a forward looking and progressive country. Independence allows us to pursue distinct policies, such as stronger support for welfare, healthcare and education without the risk of these being overturned by a WM Government we did not elect. /5

3. Control over resources

Scotland can only benefit from full control of our natural resources, particularly oil and gas, renewables, and fisheries, agriculture etc. It is to our economic advantage to control these and to control them in a manner which benefits us and not the City of London .

2. Self-determination

Independence gives us full control over over how we are governed. Decisions can be made without needing approval from Westminster and especially without the risk of being blocked by a Westminster Government we did not elect.

When did we last vote Tory?

1. Democratic representation
Scotland frequently votes differently from the rest of the UK in general elections, we favour progressive parties but so often we are governed by Westminster policies that don't reflect Scottish preferences. Policies that are alien and repugnant to us. /2

What are the reasons for Independence? There are many. They fall into six categories:
1. Democratic representation
2. Self-determination
3. Control over resources
4. Social policy/identity
5. Economic potential
6. EU membership
