A new song, Leave a light on for Scotland, with hope for Scotland's continued future within the EU inspired by @AlynSmith MEP and his powerful speech to @EUparliament I hope you like it. I'll keep practising I wanted to share this week. @NicolaSturgeon youtu.be/6y73A6Bs4UA

So long ... and thanks for all the good times. youtu.be/aQUlA8Hcv4s?si…

An Independent Scotland will be a successful European nation RT if you agree

So when Trump fires all non-partisan career professionals in government, replaces them with radical loyalists within every nook and cranny of the US government, and adds radical judges everywhere. And every one of you that voted for him finally wake up from your fucked up fantasy just like the folks that woke up after 4 years of the last shit show, only to realize it’s much much worse, and much more permanent, this time. When the cancer you caused has infected every bit of the American system and it can’t be unwound for a lifetime. What then? Do you beg this country for forgiveness for choosing fascism because you were conned into believing your eggs are too expensive because of Joe Biden? You just put Steve Bannon in charge of American policy. You just put Michael Flynn in charge of our military. You just put Alex Jones in charge of media and propaganda. You just put Stephen Miller in charge of immigration policy. You just put batshit crazy RFK Jr. in charge of health policy. You just killed free public education and privatized schools, which you will have to pay for. You just sealed the deal on a national abortion ban, because you’re demented if you think it’s not coming. You just radicalized the Supreme Court for a generation. You just made women less safe and less free. You just made this country an oligarchy with the billionaires quite literally in charge now. You just put in office the one person that believes a president is a king, with the fucking Supreme Court ruling to prove it in his back pocket! You just ushered in Fascism. Because your cereal costs more. Congratulations.

Reminds me of when Polly dressed up as Sybil and pretended to be ill in Fawlty Towers.

@maitlis Nope! You had my remote vote until you announced Johnson. Shame, we're channel hopping instead.

Oh come with us !- we will tell you the story of the night with some of the best voices in the business. It will be fun. And it will be brilliant

Convicted felon voting... illegal. Wearing MAGA hat while voting... illegal. Having Melania double vote for her... illegal. Trump Crime Family on Election Day. 🗳️

To those who tried to erase his work for Scotland from history during his lifetime, and continue to try to do so on his passing, know this - Alex Salmond’s legacy will live on. You know it, we know it, Scotland knows it The Dream Shall Never Die Truth and Justice will prevail

We do not have a monarch in Scotland, myself @Allanpetrie91 @mickbrick54 are campaigning to replace the oath elected members take in our @ScotParl leading to 2026 election. I will only swear an oath to the people of Scotland change.org/p/replace-the-… ‘ The king will also make at least £28m from windfarms because the Duchy of Lancaster retains a feudal right to charge for cables crossing the foreshore, according to an investigation by Channel 4’s Dispatches and the Sunday Times.’ theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/n…

Early RT for today’s offering on Wings (about f**k up the monthly medal). Your appreciation is much appreciated. The Skeleton Dance:

When voices claim there are more pressing issues to deal with than the constitution. The only response that is appropriate is that independence IS the means by which we address the myriad of problems inflicted on Scotland by a remote Westminster administration. It’s not an argument against independence, it’s an argument in favour of a Sovereign Scottish State 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The McCrone Report: A Ghost in the Digital Machine The digital world is a curious beast. A swirling vortex of information, both ancient and new, easily accessible yet often fleeting. In this ephemeral landscape, some things vanish entirely, swallowed by the sands of time, leaving only whispers of their existence. One such phantom is the McCrone Report, a BBC ALBA documentary about the controversial economic impact of the North Sea oil industry on Scotland, a film that was broadcast and then swiftly removed by BBC England, a digital ghost story ripe for analysis. The story of the McCrone Report is a fascinating microcosm of the power dynamics that shape our media landscape. Its disappearance, shrouded in secrecy, speaks volumes about the sensitivity surrounding the economic implications of Scotland's oil wealth. While the exact reasons for its removal remain unclear, the incident sparked a wave of speculation, further fueling the debate about Scotland's economic future and its relationship with the UK. The McCrone Report's brief, but potent existence, underscores the ever-present tension between information access and control. It serves as a stark reminder that even in the digital age, where information is ostensibly free-flowing, certain narratives are deemed too sensitive, too potentially disruptive, to be freely disseminated.

The horrifying reality of being a woman, perfectly summarised by @_CaitlinORyan If you give even the slightest shit about women, watch it all. This is what it’s like.

Still a lot of people refusing to call Twitter "X". Why don't we just compromise on "TwiX"?

A message on behalf of myself, and the rest of the family 💙

Dear Alex, Rest in peace The debt is unpayable Scotland forever

@T__Philos Strangely, no. It seems a lot more focussed. Maybe because we are confronted by a choice: either we just lost our last great hope or we were just forced to come to terms with the fact that we must do this ourselves, take responsibility as a people or cease to be a people.

The contrast between pieces written about Alex Salmond for today's papers by @kmckenna63 and @KennyFarq couldn't be more stark. I haven't quite found the words to describe the latter effort yet. None that I could print anyway.
