Academics for Scottish Independence @academicsforindy.scot · 29/09/2026That may be possible if Labour in Scotland were able to follow policies that the Scottish people actually like. Sadly, the local branch office is tied to follow the policies from down south: fleece the pensioners; deny Scottish democracy; and look after England, above all. 010 1
Academics for Scottish Independence @academicsforindy.scot · 23/09/2026A nice summary of Reform's place in Scotland. They are an anti-Scottish, English nationalist group who will never look out for Scotland's best interests. With independence we can rid ourselves of these people once and for all. 000 0
Academics for Scottish Independence @academicsforindy.scot · 11/09/2026The looming prospect of a Reform Government at Westminster should have us all deeply concerned.

Academics for Scottish Independence @academicsforindy.scot · 07/08/2026Based on recent evidence, I am tempted to believe that there will be a period of unionist politicians criticising this move before there is widespread adoption of the same policy across all of England. This will be floated as another genius idea from Burnham. 042 4

Academics for Scottish Independence @academicsforindy.scot · 12/07/2026Dear, dear! We can do better than make comments wishing a 'painful death' on politicians. Even when we disagree with their views quite fundamentally. 131 3

Academics for Scottish Independence @academicsforindy.scot · 26/06/2026It is very sad that our MSM, for the most part, are not interested in proper journalism. If they were then the content of this blog piece would be what was reported widely in our news feeds. Instead, we have anti-Scottish, negative spin masquerading as a serious story. 021 2
Academics for Scottish Independence @academicsforindy.scot · 17/06/2026An excellent and insightful article. It's naive of us to think that we are customers of social media companies. We are a commodity to be monetised whilst their sites may be doing us harm. Is it OK for them to be doing that to us at ANY age? Do they have a responsibility for their content? We'll see! 001 1
Academics for Scottish Independence @academicsforindy.scot · 11/06/2026If we end up with an investigation into all political parties in Scotland then we may discover some "interesting" things... Sarwar says that the SNP have nothing to fear if they have nothing to hide. Why, then, does he want to avoid scrutiny of his own party? 🤔 12515 25
Academics for Scottish Independence @academicsforindy.scot · 05/06/2026Perhaps Labour want to investigate the SNP to find out how to increase their own donations? Reform is leaving them well behind in the 'taking in the money' stakes. Either that or it is just a shameless and nasty ploy against the indy movement. Ah, yeah, that'll be it! 053 5
Academics for Scottish Independence @academicsforindy.scot · 01/06/2026The increasing and recurring problem for the UK nations who aren't England. The article comes to the same conclusion as many Scots: we need to leave the UK. 020 2
Academics for Scottish Independence @academicsforindy.scot · 29/05/2026This should strike a chord with those of us living in the UK. Our MSM are already complicit in undermining truth in news reporting. The recent BBC Question Time programme on AI had a panel showing just how far some will go to push an agenda. It is imperative that Scotland goes independent.thecanary.coQuestion Time assembles panel of AI industry stooges for tonight's special episodeQuestion Time is at it again, putting together a homogeneously pro-AI panel for tonight's special on the environmentally ruinous technology 043 4
Academics for Scottish Independence @academicsforindy.scot · 21/05/2026A choice that gives us all an insight into her approach to politics. It’s difficult to comprehend why she would do this. Maybe the Scottish Government should just announce independence in a YouTube video? 043 4
Academics for Scottish Independence @academicsforindy.scot · 13/05/2026Glad to see that we are not planning to 'just accept' fascism in the midst of our democracy. Reform has nothing to offer the average Scot - except abject poverty. 030 3
Academics for Scottish Independence @academicsforindy.scot · 03/05/2026Who would ever have thought that a UK Government would support genocide and ban those who choose to oppose it. Dark days for the UK. Westminster badly needs a political enema. 020 2
Academics for Scottish Independence @academicsforindy.scot · 27/04/2026This sounds a lot more believable than what Mr Sarwar is offering. And, of course, his London-based superiors are desperate to build unnecessary nuclear power stations in Scotland. If you don't want this then you know how to vote on the 7th of May. 000 0
Academics for Scottish Independence @academicsforindy.scot · 21/04/2026Now that we are all registered to vote, I really hope that Believe in Scotland have this right. Certainly, it does feel like the breakup of the UK is at least possible. Please vote for indy on May 7th. 087 8
Academics for Scottish Independence @academicsforindy.scot · 15/04/2026It is sad that Labour continues to oversee a much higher rate of child poverty in England and Wales than in Scotland. Despite this, people like Jackie Baillie continue to spout lies about the figures. Every party will try to spin stories to their advantage but they should not be allowed to lie. 000 0

Academics for Scottish Independence @academicsforindy.scot · 30/03/2026AI has been around in one form or another for quite a while now. It has its merits. However, it should not become a fashion trend: we need checks and balances, as this article shows. Kudos to NHS for Yes for making sure that this didn't drop under the radar! 011 1
Academics for Scottish Independence @academicsforindy.scot · 24/03/2026I was already feeling underwhelmed by Your Party's support for Scottish independence. This situation has not changed my mind!

Academics for Scottish Independence @academicsforindy.scot · 20/03/2026Seems fair enough? There seems to be an "I'm a raging racist" test that prospective candidates have to pass before they can join Reform. What really worries me are the people who will vote for them... 032 3
Academics for Scottish Independence @academicsforindy.scot · 17/03/2026Yet another reason to encourage everyone to fact check before voting in May. Certain institutions will never report favourably on Scottish matters - despite the evidence showing that they should do so. 034 4

Academics for Scottish Independence @academicsforindy.scot · 22/02/2026This appears to be a new Labour strategy: make extravagant promises about what they will do but ensure that timeframe is so long that they can't possibly be held accountable. 2062! Will Labour still exist then? Scotland has found a better way already. The choice for the HR election is clear. 011 1
Academics for Scottish Independence @academicsforindy.scot · 16/02/2026It seems that Labours promises to save the Grangemouth plant, compensate the WASPI women and provide thousands of jobs for Aberdeen were generated by AI. Certainly, there is nothing real about them. 01210 12
Academics for Scottish Independence @academicsforindy.scot · 05/02/2026This tells us the truth that the MSM don't want us to hear. The Labour Government is desperate to force new nuclear plants to be built in Scotland. Apparently we are denying Scottish people jobs by refusing them. On the plus side, it appears that we could be saving Scottish lives by refusing them! 011 1
Academics for Scottish Independence @academicsforindy.scot · 03/02/2026This is good news. It's good to have news media who can give a fair and balanced account of today's Scotland. Sadly, it is quite a rare thing! 020 2

Academics for Scottish Independence @academicsforindy.scot · 26/01/2026I understand that the BBC can't help itself when it comes to negative spin about Scotland.

Academics for Scottish Independence @academicsforindy.scot · 21/01/2026Wouldn't it be nice if there was legislation in place to make it illegal for politicians to tell such blatant lies? They could be prevented from standing for office ever again. 032 3
