Hugh Cromarty 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧🇪🇺

@camannua @SimonForrest11 Yup, fully self-righteous in your limited knowledge. Not a good look. Cheerio.

@CromartyHugh @SimonForrest11 lol you don’t like your ignorance exposed. But yet there it is. Wake the fuck up. Stop believing what the empire told you. Dare to think

England is debt-ridden, going bust, with few assets. It is in terminal decline - a poor country pretending to be rich. If allowed, it will drag Scotland down with it. Its flawed political/economic system extracts wealth from its people, especially its poorest, effectively mortgaging their children's future to enrich a southeast elite. Time to get out, for our children's sake. 🙏

@camannua @SimonForrest11 Thank you for analysing my reading sources, where would I be without your advice based on nothing but bias? Your smug and arrogant tone suggests you might be quite closely related to Lord Offord.

@CromartyHugh @SimonForrest11 Most of the world would agree with it. You need to broaden your horizons in regard to information. The bbc tends to sell one line only. But hey. Ignorance is bliss.

@camannua @SimonForrest11 'England has always been a kleptocracy' … just the truth. And Scotland has never been part of that? Your truth, maybe, but not THE truth.

@CromartyHugh @SimonForrest11 Just the truth

@TheBlueLady3 @DavidB80379 Have you noted they are in the majority as voters in Scotland too?

@DavidB80379 Noted 😔

The UK is in total chaos, it’s not just a storm in a teacup, it’s an existential change for Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales & it’s time to say Cheerio to pathetic Westminster control & make our own way 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@Ross_Greer Or maybe you’ve finally reached an age of maturity, where you are seeing student politics don’t work, and political choices have to be made within the context of the real world. Who knows, Ross? You might even become a Tory one day if you travel down this road. 😁

Maybe at some point we should talk about how British democracy is effectively subservient to 'market forces'? You can't just ignore the bond markets, but it's hardly genuine democracy when the choices of elected representatives (and voters!) are constrained like this.

@camannua @SimonForrest11 No hint of Anglomisia there. Phew! 🤦🏻

@SimonForrest11 England has always been a kleptocracy Now they’ve no empire to rob Or silver to sell They’ll rip off their own

@DavidDhenry Cui bono? Why would they do that? What benefit is it to them to close Grangemouth that they would illegally bribe someone to do so?

Just heard a rumour that the British government "bribed" Sir Radcliffe to close the Grangemouth oil refinery? Scotland needs to reopen it urgently.

@WhamJimjam @AngusBMacNeil @afneill @cne_siar Oh no, another Indy economist who won’t accept statistics based on 'estimates' . All these sums are pooled. London & SE does not actually write a cheque to these regions, but the regions benefit from the surplus L & SE generate. It's not complicated, though seems so for many.

@CromartyHugh @AngusBMacNeil @afneill @cne_siar The first word is the most important one. Implied.

I think @afneill really believes the English tax payer is subsidising Scotland. But why does he want to keep robbing the English taxpayer? England isn't a Nordic style wealthy country.

@Tam__Jardine @AngusBMacNeil @afneill @cne_siar Tam… this is always the 'oh so clever Indy response'. Have Indy folk told the Outer Isles and Caithness that come independence there will be no fiscal transfers within Scotland? Edinburgh will just keep all the surplus that fin svcs make? Sharing cash is what countries do. 🤦🏻

@CromartyHugh @AngusBMacNeil @afneill @cne_siar It seems like the union is working really well for Northern Ireland and Wales and really badly for the south east of England. I take it SE England are keen to jettison Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland whilst they're are fixed on staying, aye?

@jazzyrussell59 Are you really as dim as you appear Jim? No-one is saying the SNP do not have a mandate to run the Scottish government… which is what they have been elected to do. But that does not include the power to separate the U.K.

UKGOV, now saying no mandate for indyref. BUT

@Hamish08082014 @outofunion @BjCruickshank And the SNP is there to divide. Pretty much the same in my book.

@outofunion @BjCruickshank Wee Nige has already stated they are there to disrupt. Is that really the kind of bile the tax payer is having to pay for?

CAN’T EMPHASISE THIS ENOUGH.. What’s wrong in wanting just SCOTTISH Parties to be elected for the SCOTTISH Parliament in SCOTLAND. Rich English Parties just want Representation in order to prevent the Parliament from running smoothly and efficiently. History has proven this.

@ScotNational If the FM want to be ‘transparent, I suggest he starts with publishing a working economic model for Indy. If he can’t do that… the project is not worth promoting… No talk if transparency until he can…

The public will 'welcome' the First Minister’s 'transparency' in his efforts to lock out Reform UK at Holyrood, John Swinney has said #Echobox=1778514486-2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thenational.scot/news/26096599.…

@jazzyrussell59 @lightbody 🤣 … you're making the word 'broadly' do a lot of work in that sentence. 🤦🏻

@lightbody Yes I do, and at the end of the day our 'd'hondt' pr system actually broadly represent the will of the people.

Scotland returned a fifth pro independence government. Regardless of whether you support independence or not, the question is do you support democracy.

@freddie124 @AngusBMacNeil @afneill @cne_siar No.

@CromartyHugh @AngusBMacNeil @afneill @cne_siar You believe the Central Belt ( or even England) is subsidising Shetland.

@golfpark42 @AngusBMacNeil @afneill @cne_siar As you can see from the diagram, it exists…and to a greater degree across the UK. Going Indy would provide a huge increase in rUK funds, and a huge decrease in funds in Scotland. The GDP of central belt will still be much greater than in remoter parts of 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Where's the win?

@CromartyHugh @AngusBMacNeil @afneill @cne_siar The question you should be asking is Why after over 300 years of Westminster rule should such imbalance exist? Favouritism to the South East England

@johhybhoy1960 @RepublicanSons @FrankCastleMilk @millsopp0710 @AScot94175440 QED. Only abuse, no thoughts, ideas or evidence. Tragic.

@CromartyHugh @RepublicanSons @FrankCastleMilk @millsopp0710 @AScot94175440 I find it quite difficult to engage with someone who is clearly a delusional Arsehole,try educating yourself before making a complete Tit of yourself next time 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

“Part of becoming independent is about thinking independently...” – Alex Salmond. This to me is probably the most important part of the final social media post made by Alex Salmond on Twitter. So many independence supporters are thinking in terms of political parties, of independence through the legislation of devolution and of following the carrot of independence dangled in front of them by the English State. This is the honey pot set up by the Tory/Labour Cartel of England. It’s not that the legislation is not there to deliver independence it’s that devolution is designed to suck you in and keep independence just out of reach. For independence to actually happen we need to ignore devolution and it’s honey pot of false hope. We must take the initiative away from the English establishment and bring it back into the hands of the sovereign people of Scotland. After all it is from us that the powers of the Scottish State will come from so it is only right that we the people make Scottish independence happen. The devolved Parliament building at Holyrood is the perfect place for independence supporting Scots to gather in our full numbers and announce to the world that Scotland is independent. The politicians inside of every party could not deny a massive occupation of Holyrood, they could not deny the streets of Edinburgh grinding to a halt for days if need be under the number of Scots on its street. The first part of becoming independent is to stop thinking in terms the English State wants the Scottish to think, the second part is to act in ways the English State do not want the Scottish to act, the third is for the Scottish people to deliver our independent Scottish State into existence.

@McJagger_X @AleeseMm Don’t advertise your inability to understand economics … sovereign debt is not the same as personal debt. Ask ChatGPT 'Is sovereign debt the same as personal debt?' and learn something.

@AleeseMm The UK is £2.9T in debt. ..."ECONOMIC SENSE"... 😄

LORD 'HeeHaw' and SIR Tom 'Warmer' have got an issue with Scotland leaving the 'Union'... I wonder why? Maybe because their titles and peerages will mean fuckall in an independent Scotland. 🤔

@SimonForrest11 How do you suggest they try and recoup the massive 300% business rates increase then? The blame lies with the public sector (council) not business… A small reminder that nothing is FREE.

Edinburgh Airport, the most unpleasant and unwelcoming airport in the world. A national embarrassment. BBC News - Edinburgh Airport raises drop-off fees from £6 to £8.50 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@johhybhoy1960 @RepublicanSons @FrankCastleMilk @millsopp0710 @AScot94175440 Very difficult to argue with your carefully structured and evidenced rebuttal. Do Indy folk only have insults, emojis and the odd gif to make arguments … is that really all you can do? 🤦🏻

@CromartyHugh @RepublicanSons @FrankCastleMilk @millsopp0710 @AScot94175440 Fuckin’ Mental Case!🤣🤡🤡🤡🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

@LoudenDW Tremendous SNP logic here 🤦🏻 Do you understand the economics of wind turbines… the infrastructure is costly and needs to be paid for. That is done via CfDs. The marginal cost is free…but (and this is bit SNP really doesn't get) only works if the other bits are paid for.

Another day with no gas used in Scotland to generate electricity but all of our bills based on high cost gas. We can't sort this in the UK. We can only fix it by leaving.
