Scotland v Argentina, 2026? Alexander Watson Hutton is the father of football there. He taught at St Andrews Scots School in Buenos Aires & the first Argentine championship of 1891 ended in a play off between St Andrews FC v Old Caledonians FC, with the St Andrews boys beating their compatriots.

Prof Danny Dorling of Oxford University nails it squarely on the head. The SG get zero credit for their policies on welfare. Particularly the Scottish child payment which lifts kids out of poverty. The loyal, compliant media on both sides of the border fear reporting this would fuel Independence.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu announced Tuesday that she signed an executive order seeking greater transparency from federal immigration officials. She said the city will submit regular Freedom of Information Act requests to find out who ICE is detaining and on what grounds.

You know who else was an Open Borders guy? Jesus. According to the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus's family escaped Herod's purported infant killing spree by crossing the border to Egypt. I guess he's "gross" to Laura Loomer too.

🙈 the parliament in Scotland is not a sovereign parliament It is a devolved parliament of Westminster which is why it doesn't even have the authority to ask the people a question in a referendum on a non devolved matter like "the union" But a parliament can't write it would be a person.

You are the one saying signatures best democracy. I am just asking how? ..the democratic path is clear as most people respect democracy. Again I ask have you read the paragraph in the ruling? And would you respect a vote for independence?

Angus B MacNeil @angusbmacneil.bsky.social · 26/03/2025
How would that work? Who are the relevant signatories? when all that exists are Westminster and Westminster's devolved Government? And if a people vote for independence at an election why wouldn't you recognise it? .. why not democracy? Why these mysterious signatures??

Remember - The UK Supreme Court said Holyrood could not trigger a referendum on independence. BUT - They didn't say, the people couldn't trigger independence in an election. The UKSC were mindful that Law follows democracy. Law doesn't constrain democracy

The first heat pump in the UK was installed in Norwich in 1945 but today only 1% of UK households currently use heat pumps. In fact, the UK has just 412 heat pumps per 100,000 people compared to the European average of 3,068. The problem? A huge public knowledge gap about heat pumps in the UK.

However, in their reasoning for blocking the referendum - the Supreme Court have, by highlighting the supremacy of democracy, left the door open for an answer to the independence question - via an election, which carries same, if not greater "authority" than a mere referendum.

#Thread Many still fail to grasp why the Supreme Court blocked a referendum on Scottish independence. 1. It wasn't because it was a referendum. It was because of what a particular ref result would force/cause - regardless of whether Westmin recognised/agreed with referendum

So if we want independence in Scotland we have to convince the SNP that "devolution forever" isn't best for Scotland - OR ELSE we replace the SNP with MSPs who are up for letting the Scots people speak on independence.

Angus B MacNeil @angusbmacneil.bsky.social · 29/01/2025
So if a MAJORITY of Scots were to want independence they could say so at an election, with "authority" #Problem - the SNP, acting as (unauthorised) spokespersons for Westminster, say that Westminster would not accept that. The irony is no UK PM has ever said such a thing.🙄
