This is sounding to me like those who are supposed to be doing everything to get independence are shitting themselves that it might actually happen without them & their preferred way of doing things. Remember the Brit state will have implanted people inside the indy movement to work against indy.

Isn't it a strange coincidence that Fossil Fuel lobby firms donated £314,000 to Labour then they drop environmental targets and considering allowing further oil drilling in the North Sea. Has Burnham been mislead or does he turn a blind eye to the truth?

They told us we were too poor… while draining us of oil, power, and profit. Jim Eadie lays it out clearly: Scotland was never too small. It was too useful — to a system built to benefit London. From energy to industry, our wealth was siphoned away… while communities were left to crumble.👇

The Lang Dyke was a submerged jetty built in 1773, by John Golborne. Narrowing the channel at the Dumbuck Shoal, the dyke harnessed the natural power of the Clyde’s current to scour away the silt and river bed. It helped turn Glasgow into a global port and shipbuilding hub.

Some pushback on this for being depressing and doom-laden, and it certainly is. But I don’t know how people can watch e.g. the treatment of protestors by government and media in the last few years and not conclude they view the left as an enemy to be defeated, and then crushed.
