Why do the BBC employ this poor excuse of a presenter?
Every week she spouts the line ''Our audience reflects the general voting intentions of the country''.
The country.. Why then are the SNP rarely on, Plaid rarely on, Greens rarely on?
It's always Labour, Tories ,Reform & some right wing journo

Dear England. You left the wrong union. If you want true independence, dissolve the Uk union, and show you can survive without Scotland's assets, subsidizing you. I dare you.

DEFENDING GAELIC - Many Scottish regions are still mapped & measured by Ordnance Survey using original place names. Not every road or mountain or house in Scotland has a handy English translation. It is therefore a vital language of navigation in some districts of Scotland. You can easily test this:

The UK Economy.

Great Britain has been taking the piss out of the Scotch Whisky Industry, for 203 years now.

We REALLY need Scottish Independence.

And for us it is not about race. Someone of any ethnic background receiving abuse because they speak with a Scottish accent is as much out concern as any other. Look out for us rolling our project out in 2026.

Scottish as an identity respected to the degree that it affords a normal set of human rights and protections is all we are aiming at. That people identified as having Scottish racial or cultural traits are not allowed to be abused for possessing them.

Makes their flesh creep? Trump’s comments only a taste of what Scots have felt for a hundred years hearing of a place ‘that is forever England’ yet was full of their war dead We’ve never needed them. We have never really asked anything of them. They’ll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan … and they did, they stayed a little back, a little off the front lines. The w…

Reform are nobody's friend we would want to be friends with.

There were good days ahead for them that they could not see at these low-points in their life. If you are feeling low just now remember there will be better days for you too, you just can't see them yet. If you feel you can't cope talk to someone you trust.

This is a gloomy time of year. Especially if you are suffering bullying and poverty as a student. Our members include people who were made homeless as students, who lived in poverty as students, who were discriminated against as students, who suffered domestic violence as students.

Happy Burn's night everyone.
The poet's message of honest poverty and universal brotherhood surpasses notions of creed and colour.
We celebrate his part in preserving the stoic egalitarianism of Scotland's national character which, like its music and language, were under threat during his lifetime.

I noticed that the unionist parties in Holyrood at #FMQs yesterday threw all of their weight & resource behind a report into the cost of people having to stay longer in a hospital bed. Clearly there wasn't anything else being reported on BBCScotland of importance happening that morning.

One comment we have Heard a number of times is that a working class Scottish graduate thinks that they would have been better off joining a trade after school. That uni was a knock to their confidence due to the racism of students or members of academic staff. A very sad state of affairs.

in 2026 we hope to have publications in place showing how to identify and counter anti-Scottish racism. These will also have case histories commented on by our clinical psychologist “Dr K” showing the far reaching damage that racism can have on young Scots.

in terms of racism issued by people living in Scotland dependent on Westminster’s corrupt and corrupting colonial authority we regard Scottish and Irish students to be a single target for the same contempt snd derision. in cultural terms Scotland and Ireland both challenge colonial hegemony,

Six arguments for Scottish Independence.

The original idea was the SNP would not survive independence. New parties specific to Scottish politics would arise. the idea of sacrifice of party to the higher goal of Indy was in its original DNA

We agree that SNP 1&2 is a disaster.

Too many Scots pushed to alcoholism. True of the indigenous of all colonies.

We needs to raise awareness of anti-Scottish racism. It’s a prime part of our problem.

Swinney warns independence supporters: 'Do not muck about at election' The First Minister has targeted an SNP majority at this year’s Holyrood poll as the trigger for another vote on independence.

I see no change in the churlish SNP mantra & It breaks my heart. They are predicted to fall short of an overall majority of 65 & have ruled out a pro- Indy majority for the triggering of another Indy ref.
Seems like another 5 years is wasted, 5 years some of us don't have

We are hoping to have a pro-forms questionnaire for taking testimonies. This will have to be tied to means of ID verification and we will need advice on GDPR. Any help appreciated.

These Tory ministers sold profitable harbours like Ardrossan to enable shareholders to milk rather than to maintain them, Labour then did nothing and now the SNP Government is blamed for not buying it... Professor John Robertson OBA For more than a year now Scotland’s media have been blaming the Scottish Government for problems at Ardrossan harbour and it’s Arran ferry service. Little m…

We regard racism by members of rUK living in Scotland as the prime deliverer of ethnic oppression to young Scottish people, outstripping Westminster propaganda in the last 10 years. Help us fight it. Website and resources will be available soon.

We are looking to form alliances with academics and professionals involved in HR. We also will be planning to reach out to law enforcement agencies. Any contacts you have would be appreciated. Narratives of racism suffered also sought.

@billcruickshank.bsky.social We are calling on all Indy supporters to help us get off of the ground in 2026. We want to raise awareness of the fact that anti-Scottish racism “is a thing” and should be taken no less seriously than any other form of racism.

Privileged Students at Scottish universities from rUK who use any-Scottish racism have been indulged to a ridiculous degree. If you are a racist the price of that should be being sent down.
