AirdrieForIndy

We were very sorry to hear that our good friend Alison McGoff passed away at Celtic Park last Saturday. Alison was a stalwart of the independence movement and regularly attended our events in Airdrie. She will be sadly missed by us all,and we extend our condolences to her family.

Scotland stands for peace as Britain prepares for war.

Finally the BBC apologise - but why was this not given the prominence it deserved? If you lead with a story that turns out to be blatantly untrue, shouldn't you also lead with the apology?

Make no bones about it. The British State is not our friend. They stand against us. #IndependenceForScotland

From the party who go absolutely wild every time Gordon Brown farts...

@Chunkyferryman @STUforIndy Red Tories. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Scotland deserves better, not these British Nationalist chancers.

@STUforIndy If you think that the case then you haven't read Labour policies, or the economic analysis of independence.

In people's desperation to rid themselves of the Tories, the "any port in a storm" rule comes into play. Don't be seduced by their vague promises, the real devil is in the detail. In reality, Labour offer nothing for Scotland but a gap between Tory governments. #independence

@ASLEFunion @LouHaigh You said that the last time.

A standing ovation for @LouHaigh: “a Labour government must and a Labour government will bring our railways back into public ownership”

"As You Point Out" "McKenna and most Scottish journalists write only for the colonizer’s media. They do not yet recognise far less understand colonialism, which explains why they are unable to produce an anti-colonial literature." Prof Alfred Baird wp.me/p4fd9j-u0Q

This goes beyond petty, party politics (of which North Lanarkshire has never had a shortage of). Save Our Communities. #EnoughIsEnough #NoMoreCutsNorthLanarkshire

Our councillors are elected to stand up for their communities, not stick the knife in their backs. Real Scots #StandUpForScotland.

Did you know? The world’s most taxed drink is Scotch Whisky - created by Scotland with all profits to the UK [English] Treasury.

@jackiebmsp When we saw you in the picture we immediately read it as "two lunches".

A tale of two launches………👀 #freshstart

In an independent Scotland, @scotgov would seek to rejoin the EU as soon as possible, allowing Scottish citizens to: 🔵 Take up in full their rights as EU citizens. 🔵 Take advantage of free movement to travel, live, work and study across Europe. More: bit.ly/EUCitizenshipS…

The caring UK...

In 2014, we were told that Scotlands oil was running out. Today, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak came to Scotland to brazenly announce the next phase in the centuries old theft of Scottish resources. England will never let Scotland go willingly, so long as we have what they need.

@ScotExpress Penny Dreadful mair like.

The Leader of the House of Commons has long been tipped as a potential Prime Minister and has shot to fame in Scotland due to her weekly roastings of the SNP. scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/news/uk-news/n…

The Unionist view in Ayr: A disgruntled pensioner is grimacing & shaking her head at us in the High Street. She is hunched over, not happy & walking with a stick. "C'mon, it'll be OK, don't you want a bigger pension?" “No!!!" she screams back. It seems she enjoys the misery!

@MikeStewart79 @Carson1916 Possibly more significant in this sector are energy costs, rising food prices, cost of broadcasting live sports, cost and availability of staff after Brexit, in addition to the fact their customers are suffering the same challenges and have themselves less less money to spare.

@Carson1916 Yup. But the tax can be dropped. That drop creates more footfall……

I was £11.50 for a pint and a single vodka and Diet Coke with our lunch today. It cost roughly the same as my main meal. We don’t eat out during the day often, but easy to see why the trade is dying on its feet. Clearly this isn’t unique to Scotland, but we should be doing everything we can to keep prices down. Whilst I reject the premise behind minimum pricing, I do think that there could be something in place to make it more attractive. Lower taxation in a licence premise, perhaps ? There aren’t many down and outs that kill themselves in a pub, but a pub is a community, a place to go. The church for many and a strong tool in our battles with mental health. Just a thought.
