Brian

@eilean1 @Aeronaut4 @SSalyers2 It’s not an opinion, just a fact

@GilbereBri @Aeronaut4 @SSalyers2 No matter what your opinion is, he is the king.

Thank God he isn’t King of Scots. It’s now urgent to get the facts out there and boot him out of our oil gas, land and resources - out of the oaths the MSPs have to take (he’s a foreign monarch) and the Palace of Holyrood!

@eilean1 @Aeronaut4 @SSalyers2 because the monarchy is one of the layers of control to keep Scotland in the “union” and he’s been told to do so

@GilbereBri @Aeronaut4 @SSalyers2 Why?

@Aeronaut4 @SSalyers2 Actually no, he calls himself king of uk but he isn’t

@SSalyers2 Actually, he is. He's the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland... which includes Scotland, and has done since 1707.

@thomsonchris This is how england operate, they spend bundles creating and hiding behind a veneer of lies and propaganda while stealing everything the can

The amount of English colonial propaganda bots and trolls is absolutely crazy here. Look at that! The cyber armies of the English colonial state are all out against Scotland and Scots to block Scotland's right to self-determination and to continue annexation and colonisation.

@StewartNial @MikeStewart79 @DandyDonSF Duh yeah 👍

@GilbereBri @MikeStewart79 @DandyDonSF No. 👍

Independent Scotland would face a fucking immediate fiscal nightmare: the latest GERS figures (2024-25) show a massive £26.2bn deficit (11.6% of GDP), compared to the UK's 5.1%. That means the ~£14bn annual subsidy handout from rUK gets fucking cut off on day one, so they'd have to jack up taxes or slash spending like bastards just to stabilise the shitshow. Trade with rUK (which is 60%+ of Scotland's exports, for fuck's sake) would add even more bollocks frictions, with LSE models estimating a brutal 6-8% long-run GDP hit — that's 2-3 times the clusterfuck of Brexit. And don't get me started on the currency transition, which would pile on short-term volatility like a proper shitstorm. The impact on rUK? Minimal as fuck. Scotland's tiny economy share means negligible GDP loss, and ditching the subsidy actually gives English finances a slight boost overall. No credible analysis — none, zip, zero — shows England ending up any poorer from this bollocks.

@StewartNial @MikeStewart79 @DandyDonSF So unlike every other country in the world Scotland revenues are “guessed”by statisticians and not “Calculated” by accountants

@GilbereBri @MikeStewart79 @DandyDonSF You're either taking the piss or very stupid. GERS is produced by Scottish civil servant statisticians.

@StewartNial @MikeStewart79 @DandyDonSF Playing with words again Nial, the figures are generated by the “uk” government, everything else is guesswork by the Scottish government based on those figures

@GilbereBri @MikeStewart79 @DandyDonSF It's our SNP 'govt' who generate the figures Brian, they are nothing to do with the UK Government.

@StewartNial @MikeStewart79 @DandyDonSF Yeah Fix them by getting independence, it is the only way, the uk gov are serial liars and can never be trusted, ever

@GilbereBri @MikeStewart79 @DandyDonSF That's the figures compiled by Scottish civil servant statisticians which are voluntarily published by our SNP 'govt'. If they're so bad, why don't they fix them? Oh aye, they already did 👍

@StewartNial @MikeStewart79 @DandyDonSF Ffs are you kidding, why are they wrong ? How wrong are they ? Scotgov figures are complete guess work based on 300 years of theft, cover-up, corruption and deceit. Look to our neighbours for a guide on Scotland’s revenues and witness the scale of the theft by the british state

@GilbereBri @MikeStewart79 @DandyDonSF Are you incapable of reading? Click that link above.....

@StewartNial @MikeStewart79 @DandyDonSF Revised ? How ? The Scottish government has no access to real figures no more that Madagascar has to what Scotland’s revenues are, only the “uk” government has and that is how it has been engineered and carried out in every country they’ve been in

@GilbereBri @MikeStewart79 @DandyDonSF Salmond massively revised how GERS is collated when the SNP took over in 2007. The whole 2014 campaign was based on GERS. Details here.... heraldscotland.com/default_conten…

@StewartNial @MikeStewart79 @DandyDonSF You certainly are

@MikeStewart79 @GilbereBri @DandyDonSF Absolutely deluded/ brainwashed.

@StewartNial @MikeStewart79 @DandyDonSF gers was invented by the british state in the 1990’s specifically to stop independence, it’s the sole reason it exists, it has never been ok

@GilbereBri @MikeStewart79 @DandyDonSF Because they modified them to produce accurate output in 2007. Why were they OK in 2014 but not now?

@StewartNial @MikeStewart79 @DandyDonSF Why do you think ?

@GilbereBri @MikeStewart79 @DandyDonSF "trying to cover up theft and pretend Scotland is poor" The SNP massively revised how the figures are generated when they took over in 2007, it's what their whole 2014 prospectus was based on. They continue to voluntarily publish them, they could stop any time, but don't. Why?

@AgentP22 🤣🤣🤣 the union is dead, we are leaving

High tax. High costs. Low growth. That’s the SNP’s entire business model.

@StewartNial @MikeStewart79 @DandyDonSF 🤣 what a long winded complex way of trying to cover up theft and pretend Scotland is poor. To put it in context: Norway know exactly what their revenues are. Denmark know exactly what their revenues are. Sweden know exactly what their revenue’s are. Why do you think that is ?

@GilbereBri @MikeStewart79 @DandyDonSF It's like NAT bullshit bingo. The FIRST FAQ QUESTION. You've been lied to.

@annie_mcginley @AngusBMacNeil Over Scotland is the most educated country in the world, pity we’re in the “uk”

🏆 Ireland takes the crown! 🇮🇪 With 52.4% of adults holding a degree, we’re officially the world’s most educated nation. From tech hubs to creative sparks, our greatest asset is our brilliant minds. Proud to see the Island of Saints and Scholars leading the way! 📚✨ #Ireland

@StewartNial @MikeStewart79 @DandyDonSF There you go again trying to deflect. Scotgov don’t produce any figures, they are “provided” by the “uk” i.e. westminster

@GilbereBri @MikeStewart79 @DandyDonSF Which revenues do you think the Scottish civil servant statisticians working for our SNP 'govt' who produce the figures have forgotten to include?

@spiderPiglets @MikeStewart79 @DandyDonSF Correct, I don’t need to lie about it, Scotland is rich

@GilbereBri @MikeStewart79 @DandyDonSF Brian just admit you want Indy no matter what it does. You don’t need to lie about it. We 💯 would be poorer and it would take us around 30+ years to recover but then I’m sure we would be ok. Admitting you’re ok with that is where you need to start.

@LiberationScot Superbly written, very well done 👏

When Westminster next 'concedes' a referendum When Westminster next 'concedes' a referendum, it will be a three question one; a 'solve this Scottish problem', Gordon Brown-style devo-max offering. It will be engineered with customary Great British finesse. Scots will be offered, once again, a 'nearest thing to federalism', without admitting our true status in the union - one of annexation. The offer will contain everything but the true levers of power - a central bank and those things that really define a nation state - external relations, the ability to make pacts or treaties, to go to war, to decide the state's nuclear capacity; to have the ability to make independent trade agreements. The offer will exclude everything diplomatic - all that gives us a say in the running of the world. Are we Scots happy with that? Are we happy with the foreign policy of the British state since the end of WW2? Were we happy with its compliance and engagement with wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? Or its foreign policy right now, supporting an ex-TV host who wants to bomb one of the world's most ancient (and modern) cultures 'back to the stone age'? Such an offering from the UK state and any and all of those Scots who sustain it will be a poisoned chalice - made with the same propaganda carefully woven into 2014, this time with muscular unionism bells on - the BBC's most perfected pro-UK output; Multiple TV 'personality' disapproval; shrill corporate threats of business and capital flight from Scotland; Brown-style warnings about pension loss; newspaper front pages that the Russians - no, worse - the Chinese, are coming for us; Faslane 'keeps you safe' (ask the Gulf states); your oil's running out; the wind doesn't blow all day, and might very soon stop; you're SO in debt (see GERS), so poor, so incapable, so vulnerable. And yet, SO loved, you Scots; SO valued. (Indeed, on England's balance sheet). Lead us, Scotland. Don't leave us (without a permanent seat at the Security Council that keeps Faslane in place, and utterly broke, trying to pay in Yuan for our own energy). The 'referendum' we're going to 'grant' you must, of course, to be a 'civil' one, that is to say, count the 20% votes of visiting students, servicemen, oil and temporary workers, recent retirees with a South East England house cashed in, and the civil servants we've moved from London to Edinburgh. Plus the massive influx of wealthy English pensioners who've come to Scotland as refugees from Brexit France and Spain. The message will be: please vote as hard as you can by post; it's easy for you (but it is also SO easy for us to rig). But your ballot box votes in high YES areas will also, note, get selectively binned to bring the overall YES vote down. If all that fails, in the final few days we'll break 'purdah'. Our newspapers will wheel out a Gordon Brown and a collection of other smug London club chums - maybe London spiv Farage among them this time, in place of a Cameron or a Miliband - to offer you a REALLY solemn VOW. Which, if you believe it, will assure your final defeat - the defeat of accepting, forever, English sovereignty over your own Scots sovereignty. If Scots fall for this rotten mess of potage,they truly are prostrating themselves, finally and irrevocably, to what their ancestors refused in 1708, 1715, 1719, 1745, 1820 and later, following what appeared to be the death throes of England's empire pomp. In the 20th century, in the wake of the 1939-45 world fight against fascism and its colonial roots, once more a true reinvigorated Scottish nationalism took hold; one that built the membership of the Scottish National Party today - that wonderful body of Scots who want, and have the power to achieve, if they will demand it of their leaders, our nation's resumption of its ancient, yet so very modern, statehood. Fascism and its colonial roots are today back in play. Scotland has multiple reasons to expose those roots, oppose them, and declare, alongside those other nations of the world who won't accept colonial revival, "no pasarán" - they shall not pass. Scotland can figure as a central player on the world stage in making that declaration. If the Scottish Government won't play that role, Liberation Scotland will; indeed, is doing so right now.

@MikeStewart79 @DandyDonSF There you go again you brainwashed gullible twattet, asking the wrong questions, or are you trying to deflect ?

@GilbereBri @DandyDonSF All revenue are recorded. You know this. What do you think aren’t included ?
