I wonder if it might be more effective, protest-wise, if they 'phoned the media first, and then queued at the nearest police station.

From London to Edinburgh people want action for Palestine. The UK government is complicit in genocide.

When he was running to be Labour leader Keir Starmers campaign video boasted that he had stood up for protesters when the full force of the state was against them.

Today his govt is arresting a disabled blind man for holding a placard.

The right side of history.

Coming to you from the Defend Our Juries action in London 🇵🇸 Just a little amendment: there were still like 500 people committed to holding these signs for as long as they can’t, almost 2 hours past the start of the action. Police picking them off one by one.

Wife stuck a finger in it to taste, and says it's lovely 👍😁 looking forward to breakfast toast tomorrow.

You don't see the blocking of the process as a democratic abomination, and the WM arrogance it illustrates as very key to the reasons for independence? 😳😳😳
Well. We're really not going to agree. Let's leave it there. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

All over central Scotland today there will have been Orange Parades with many carrying UVF flags

@policescotland.bsky.social how many of them did you arrest …?

Several people sitting, holding signs saying "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.”

I am at Parliament Square in London, where I am watching peaceful protesters arrested for holding signs. History will remember all of these brave people as heroes.

It did!!!

🤪😂😂🤪

For a nano second I that that shot was the cover of 'Breakfast in America'

The thing about process is that it is being undemocratically blocked by Westminster. You may not like it being focussed upon, but that lack of democracy is one of the major things we *should* be highlighting and talking about endlessly.

In jars. Fingers crossed it sets properly.

And the step to increase numbers which will achieve process?

Cherry Plum jam underway.

I see this is being poo pooed by several. What's your solution then? Can't get the the process without numbers. Can't get the numbers without a campaign. Can't get the campaign without the political and financial will. What's *your* plan? Answers on a postcard, please.

Uh, isn't that largely due to the fact that Canadian wheat is so much better? My dad and grandfather were both bakers, and I can recall both of them mentioning this.

I disagree. 🤷‍♂️

For most of this week between 3 and 5 Gw has been transferred from Scotland to England.

If Westminster had backed storage that power could have been stored to give more than a week's worth of backup in Scotland.
Instead they are backing larger cables to transfer more to the midlands.

We constantly hear from opponents of independence that we have the 'most powerful devolved parliament in the world'. It's true, except for . .

And, yes, I know Believe in Scotland is doing sterling campaign work, as is grassroots, but we need something bigger, better funded and recognised by all. 2/2 and that needs ScotGov to find its mojo.
