@CMS481 @broadcastscot Geoffrey Barrow, in his inaugural lecture as Professor of Scottish History, University of Edinburgh, 1979: "The failure of Scotland to establish its own organisation for public service broadcasting was the greatest cultural disaster which Scotland suffered in the 20th century."

No more English parties embezzling Scotlands resources #SNP 1&2

🚨NEW: A major poll has predicted a huge 17-seat pro-independence majority at the Holyrood election as Scottish Labour support plummets👇

The Brit mentality 👉Steal Scotlands resource 👉sell it privately to benefit their pals 👉underinvest 👉cause decay and rot 👉squander money like it’s a never ending pot of gold 👉Complain years later Scotland deserves better #bothvotesSNP for a brighter Scottish 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 future

Why don't you piss off and use your own part of the sea. Scottish North Sea oil belongs to Scotland. Ben

This great piece, alone, should have every citizen of Scotland crying out for our independence. Deliberate suppression of Prestwick by London. @scotgov @theSNP needs credit for taking it into public ownership as it's now thriving in many ways. Keep it in public ownership.

The SNP building a memorial to QE2 when Scotland didn't have a QE1. For the love of god. Bought and sold.

The energy crisis is causing Scots to rethink their loyalty to the Union. With Scotland having a least 3 times the oil reserves than r UK independence looks a desirable prospect

Worth repeating when Unionists claim Scotland is funded generously. We're 8% with 30% of the land to service. Biggest % of tax/revenues from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 is spent by UK 🇬🇧 with no say so from our Scottish Parliament. All change with independence.

How much more are women expected to put up with? Because appointing a man who identifies as a woman to represent people suffering from endometriosis is not inclusion, it is disrespect. At best, it is tone-deaf. In reality, it's outright misogyny dressed up as progress. A man representing women with endometriosis. Think about that for a moment. Women fought for decades to get this disease recognised, treated, researched and taken seriously. Now they are told to step aside and let a man represent them. Call it inclusion if you like. Many women will call it something else. If women can’t even speak for women’s health anymore, what exactly are women allowed to speak for? Endometriosis is not an abstract identity. It is a painful, often debilitating medical condition that affects women because they have female reproductive systems. One in ten women in the UK suffer from it. Many spend years being ignored by doctors, misdiagnosed, or told the pain is “normal”. Women have fought for decades just to have this condition taken seriously. And now, after all that, they are told a man will represent them. You could not design a more insulting situation if you tried. Novelist Amanda Craig, who has personally suffered from acute endometriosis, said the appointment was “absolutely ridiculous” and compared it to a white person claiming to speak for black people. It is a harsh comparison, but you can understand the point she is making: representation should come from lived experience, not political fashion. This is the problem with identity politics when it loses all connection to material reality. Women are told to be quiet, be kind, be inclusive, and accept that even their own medical conditions are no longer theirs to speak about. So again, the question stands: How much more are women expected to put up with? Because when women cannot even speak about women’s health without being told to step aside for a man, that is not equality. That is erasure. And dressing erasure up as progress does not make it progress. It just makes it harder to challenge. #WomenMatter

Are you paying attention, Scots? No shortcuts. No magic route to decolonisation via a miracle of suddenly honourable and honest Westminster dealing. Friendly old English state will say, with a good natured chuckle, ‘Oh a vast majority of pro independence MP’s/MSP’s have been elected? Of course we’ll arrange for a proper constitutional referendum conducted under international standards - unlike the ridiculous 2014 opinion poll we’ve been pretending was a real referendum with the help of your Scottish politicians!’ Anyone believe that? (Actually most of our pro/indy politicians believe it. And *thats* their plan. I kid you not!!!!! 😱) So please read this and then consider joining Salvo and helping organise the resistance, on the ground, effective people power!

What we are seeing in Scottish politics is individuals driven solely by ego, distant from any political principle and endlessly churning their desperate attempts to become a politician, any politician. It’s pure narcissism bellacaledonia.org.uk/2026/03/22/all…

Note how there's no 'BBC Verify' article checking Labour's 69000 jobs claim about GB Energy or the claim that energy bills will be £300 lower than when they came to office?

Reform's Scottish campaign has collapsed

Until everyone is on statins, cardiologists will still tell you heart disease is a statin deficiency.

The thing about this Prestwick story is that by adding it to what I wrote about in my column recently then a clear pattern of organised underinvestment in Scotland appears. Whether it's all deliberate or not is the big question.

The only party demanding a parliamentary vote on UK involvement is the SNP. Labour and Tories? Silent. The Crown? Above it all. Democracy isn’t broken—it’s being bypassed. #BBCLauraK

How the hell can @BBCRadioScot @BBCGaryR spend 10 minutes talking about energy, energy prices, oil and global markets, renewables and the need for Wales-up calls yet not mention ONCE that it is ALL run by WM not by Scot Govt That lack of storage is cos WM sold it off Appalling
