Lots more Willie McRaeโ€™s coming. The British state will not let Scotland go without extreme measures.

When members of the London establishment are arrested the police come politely in nice suits and take them away in unmarked cars.
No blue tents.
No blue lights.
No uniformed police outside their home for days.
Are they a better class of criminals and deserve special treatment?

Time to move on from this Westminster chaos . Time to
Leave the Union.

Bar chart shows three data series broken down by age group. First series is those who feel UK government favour England. Here, figures range from 38% among 25 to 34 age group to 61% in the 55 to 64 age group. The figures are above 50% for all age groups over 45.
The second series is for those who feel the UK government mostly focuses on the whole UK. The figures here are lowest among the 16 to 24 age group although there is no clear pattern. The highest is 37% among the 65 to 74 age group.
The third series is for those who feel the UK government treats England and UK equally. This is very low for all age groups over 45, and highest among the youngest age group at 35%.
These % figures exclude don't knows.

More in Common asked Scots whether they thought the Westminster Government governs in the interest of the whole of the UK. Interesting that the majority of over 45s think it governs in the interest of England. Strange disconnect between this issue and independence support.

There are few political parties registered in Scotland: SNP, Scottish Greens & Alba, there are some others, but they are relatively minor.
Scottish Conservatives, Scottish Labour, Scottish Liberal Democratโ€™s & Reform are Unionist apologists.

"Ice-T ignited widespread online discussion after posting a strongly worded political remark that quickly gained traction across social media"

But it's okay to call Trump a messiah and compare him to Jesus? I'm amazed Christians aren't kicking MAGA/Christian Nationalist butts.

The SNP have been treating drugs as a public health issue for years and Glasgow has a successful drug consumption room after years of fighting Westminster

The only way to do more is Scottish independence

I tend not to read newsprint these days either. However, The National gives independent counterpoint to the Unionist sh!te we have to contend with in Scotland.
Donโ€™t get me started on the BBC or branch office โ€˜Scottishโ€™ version.

Aye people are organic, hopefully they widen up over time. We shouldnโ€™t stand still. We learn & develop over time, learning hopefully from mistakes. If itโ€™s not working, move on and change things for the better. Donโ€™t repeat the same mistakes over and over again in status quo!

And you would trust the rest of the Unionist papers to give sound advice on voting. They are all conservatives, they might be pseudo (Red & Orange) Tories or the new light blue fascist ones; but they exist to preserve an archaic make it up as you go along construct, for the wealthy.๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ณ
