@CaledoniaLad @baxterparp @Dennynews She followed her alphabetty mates. Picked a date to be dishonest....and didn't even bother to put an appearance in. Mugs still gave both credence...

@baxterparp @Dennynews Yes she did. The lying bastard made it very clear even going as far as telling us all to save the date.

Nicola Sturgeon once stood up and told MSPs an IndyRef2 would take place on October 19, 2023. John Swinney now suggests another referendum will happen in 2028. dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…

@HolyroodSources @AnasSarwar It's a sad state of affairs when any other candidate would be a downgrade from the already low bar.

"We have a chance for the first time in a generation to change the First Minister" @AnasSarwar reiterates his view that the Scottish electorate should focus on scrutinising the SNP's record at Holyrood rather than Labour's performance at Westminster ahead of the Scottish Parliament election. @CalumAM | @geoffaberdein | @akmaciver

Please read and repost. It’s coming …

Hilarious how the 'Tartan army' are lauded.... Just for not getting in fights following Scotland. Indy marches wouldn't look as pathetic if the Tartan army got off their arses to support them. But they don't. Cos there are more Tartan Tories in the 'Tartan army' than indy Scots.

@iainclarkson69 @JohnSwinney Facts. I'm out with them often enough. Where were the tartan army during the indy marches? Can come out to support a bunch of ball chasers but not to support independence. Too busy with 'work', the garden, kickball or any other excuse. More Tory supporters than indy supporters.

@IndyOverParty @JohnSwinney Don’t talk a load of pish

The Tartan Army are the greatest supporters in the world, and have waited almost 30 years for the World Cup. They should not be priced out by dynamic ticket pricing. I’ve written to FIFA to urge fairer and more affordable prices. Football should be about fans, not finances.

@MikeNovemb74486 @JohnSwinney Facts are more intelligent than ad hominems. Google it if you don't have enough fingers!

@IndyOverParty @JohnSwinney Mate you need to get out yer maws basement

Nicola & SNP have left themselves wide open to blackmail. The UK Gov also have a wee black book. Evans, Lloyd & Co have plenty evidence tucked away. This is the reason why SNP are only paying lip service to independence. They're kompromat... They need to be gone. Completely.

@cwilk123 People need to realise the SNP post indy ref is a FAR different beast to that pre indy ref. Post 2014 SNP is the illusion of hope. An additional British party with the veneer of previous reputation to keep indy minded folk chasing carrots without any chance of catching them. Fact

I vote for the SNP because I truly believe me, my family, my friends and 95% of people that live in Scotland would have a far better quality of life if Scotland were independent. A country run for it's inhabitants by it's inhabitants. Holyrood is Westminster controlled

@theliamnissan @IainHiggins I mean. Id take him a teeny bit more seriously if he could actually differentiate between rain and reign.

He's gonna use nukes. We have to stop him. Speak now or forever hold your peace.

Timeline full of rabid US nutjobs gurning about EU & UK not rushing to ignore NATO charter to stand with a bully (who has been taking the piss out of them for months) when it starts an illegal war. Hope Iran lets everyone except US shipping through. Stick your tariffs up yer💫

@JohnSwinney Amber warning is apt. Maybe put a 'clootie dumpling symbol warning' on everything SNP go near. Just to save folk the bother of trying to guess what you're going to balls up next!

An Amber warning has been issued for parts of the South of Scotland during #StormDave. Please follow all advice and stay safe.

What if I told you that you’d been conditioned to disbelieve the truth? You’d probably laugh. You’re informed. You read widely. You think for yourself. The people around you mostly agree with you. So of course you recognise the truth when you see it… right? But what if it’s not the big things that shape your thinking? What if it’s the small details you barely notice? The things you skim past. The things you hear occasionally and never question. For example, what if I tell you that Scotland doesn’t have its own government? Sounds ridiculous. After all, it’s called a government. It has Ministers, a First Minister, departments, staff, and elections you have voted in. That’s a government… isn’t it? Now consider this legally accurate definition: “The devolved executive authority for Scotland, composed of the Scottish Ministers, exercising powers conferred by the Scotland Act 1998 and subsequent legislation.” That’s the legal reality. “Scottish Government” is just a label, a convenient, informal term for the British Government’s devolved authority in Scotland, That label matters. Because calling it a “government” quietly shapes how you think. It plants an assumption. It shapes your belief over time. You wanted a government so you were given something that looks like one, sounds like one, and is called one. But the reality is that what you have is an agreement that Westminster has a right to rule you. All that you have is Unionism dressed in tartan.

@catturd2 Or ....in layman's terms... Bully chucking their toys out of their pram cos folk won't back up their tantrum. Billy no mates....

- Pull out of NATO. - Close all bases and remove all military personal from the UK, Germany, Spain, and France. - Never protect these countries again. - Stop all trade with these countries. ZERO. - Refuse to share any military technologies and don't allow to them to buy any military equipment. Ever. - Don't share any intelligence with them. NONE. - Tell them they have to provide 100% of weapons and money to Ukraine. - Cut them off completely.

@iAnonPatriot Our aircraft (illegally bullying a foreign nation) are being (legitimately) shot out of the sky, (by a country protecting itself from an illegal invader) and NATO is (annoyingly for the bullies) not participating in an illegal war & Abiding by article 5.😡 There fixed it for you.

Our aircraft are being shot out of the sky, and NATO is nowhere to be found. It’s time to leave.

@Harrisbro777 Good. Time the rest of the world stood up to these bullies.

@theSNP @theyardscotland @AngusRobertson @JennyGilruthMSP @EuanHyslop Paying for other people's childcare is a burden for those without kids or with adult kids (who never got any free childcare). Why should we pay for lifelong jobless to have multiple kids & free childcare? Try investing in those who pay for all the others 'freebies' for a change.

Childcare shouldn't be a burden on any family - that's why we're making sure care is available for every child in Scotland, every day of the year, from 9 months old to the end of primary school. Thank you to @theyardscotland for letting us join their play session this morning! And thank you for the incredible work you do supporting disabled and neurodivergent children, young people and their families 🙏

@DrJStrategy And Iran will just quietly let this play out? Or kindly offer free runs for all of the EU/UK for not jumping in behind US? I don't think Trump thought this through....

Food for thought. Trump, Hormuz and the End of the Free Ride For half a century, Western strategists have known that the Strait of Hormuz is the acute point where energy, sea power and political will intersect. That knowledge is not in dispute. What is new in this war with Iran is that the United States, under Donald Trump, has chosen not to rush to “solve” the problem. In Hegelian terms, he is refusing an easy synthesis in order to force the underlying contradiction to the surface. The old thesis was simple: the US guarantees open sea lanes in the Gulf, and everyone else structures their economies and politics around that free insurance. Europe and the UK embraced ambitious green policies, ran down hard‑power capabilities and lectured Washington on multilateral virtue, secure in the assumption that American carriers would always appear off Hormuz. The political class behaved as if the American security guarantee were a law of nature, not a contingent choice. Their conduct today is closer to Chamberlain than Churchill: temporising, issuing statements, hoping the storm will pass without a fundamental reordering of their responsibilities. Trump’s antithesis is to withhold the automatic guarantee at the moment of maximum stress. Militarily, the US can break Iran’s residual ability to contest the Strait; that is not the binding constraint. The point is to delay that act. By allowing a closure or semi‑closure to bite, Trump ensures that the immediate pain is concentrated in exactly the jurisdictions that have most conspicuously free‑ridden on US power: the EU and the UK. Their industries, consumers and energy‑transition assumptions are exposed. In that context, his reported blunt message to European and British leaders, you need the oil out of the Strait more than we do; why don’t you go and take it? Is not a throwaway line. It is the verbalisation of the antithesis. It openly reverses the traditional presumption that America will carry the burden while its allies emote from the sidelines. In this dialectic, the prize is not simply the reopening of a chokepoint. The prize is a reordered system in which the United States effectively arbitrages and controls the global flow of oil. A world in which US‑aligned production in the Americas plus a discretionary capability to secure,or not secure, Hormuz places Washington at the centre of the hydrocarbon chessboard. For that strategic end, a rapid restoration of the old status quo would be counterproductive. A quick, surgical “fix” of Hormuz would short‑circuit the dialectic. If Trump rapidly crushed Iran’s remaining coastal capabilities, swept the mines and escorted tankers back through the Strait, Europe and the UK would heave a sigh of relief and return to business as usual: underfunded militaries, maximalist green posturing and performative disdain for US power, all underwritten by that same power. The contradiction between their dependence and their posture would remain latent. By declining to supply the synthesis on demand, and by explicitly telling London and Brussels to “go and take it” themselves, Trump forces a reckoning. European and British leaders must confront the fact that their energy systems, their industrial bases and their geopolitical sermons all rest on an American hard‑power foundation they neither finance nor politically respect. The longer the contradiction is allowed to unfold, the stronger the eventual synthesis can be: a new order in which access to secure flows, Hormuz, Venezuela and beyond, is explicitly conditional on real contributions, not assumed as a right. In that sense, the delay in “taking” the Strait, and the challenge issued to US allies to do it themselves, is not indecision. It is the negative moment Hegel insisted was necessary for history to move. Only by withholding the old guarantee, and by saying so out loud to those who depended on it, can Trump hope to end the free ride.

@popandfetti @WingsScotland You'd be a bit more credible if you weren't a wee fake account 😁

@IndyOverParty @WingsScotland The projection is real 🤣

To be honest I’d have paid for a ticket if that was true.

@CaledoniaLad Cox is Liebore to the core. He's another 'actor'.

@IndyOverParty Cox is a clown. He’s crawling up Swinney’s arsehole ahead of the Scottish election & encouraging folk to vote SNP. The only thing that will redeem him in my eyes is calling the SNP out when they fail to progress independence ahead of the 2031 election, if he’s still around.

Dear Brian Cox Nicoliar sturgeon stitched herself up. She rode on Salmond's reputation (she's a British state asset), took 3 makeovers to make her tolerable, sold out NHS, indy movement & women & aligned herself with crims creeps & weirdos to retain power. Vile human in every way
