Scotland doesn't need or want nuclear energy. We already have a surplus of renewables. Any nuclear plant that Westminster built would be used to supply power to England! We are getting used as the nuclear dumping ground for England!

If it wasn't clear before Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, it's crystal clear now, America is a hostile power to democratic countries. The US is on the side of far right authoritarians. If any nation is foolish enough to rely on the USA as an ally, America will stab it in the back.

There's been (inexplicably, IMO) some debate over the source of Reform UK's growth in Scotland (e.g. a few unionists claim that the flow to them is from the SNP). Looking at the latest polling, that very clearly isn't the case. The story is the total fragmentation of Scottish Labour's vote:

It appears that Afghans who fought side by side with U.K. special forces have been blanket vetoed for immigration to the UK - because they could probably then be called as witnesses to British war crimes. In case you were still under the illusion that the U.K. are automatically the good guys.

Two pollsters have changed their weighting methodology in recent months. Opinium inexplicably introduced 2014 #Indyref weighting (more than 10 years on) for a Murdoch-funded paper. Survation 'forgot' to add 2014 weighting in their most recent poll (they've also forgotten to publish the result).

So much of the opposition to Scottish independence seems to come from those who really feel that Scotland is incapable of doing what dozens of other countries do successfully. Why the inferiority complex? Something to do with being told that Scots are second-class Brits for 300 years?
