Oh stop whining and go out and put energy into building the compelling and realistic case for an independent Scotland. When it’s unambiguously obvious that a consistent and solid 60+% want it, then we could say it’s genuinely the will of the people and that cannot be stopped.

Sir Ian McKellen orates 'The Stranger's Case' from 'Sir Thomas More' by Shakespeare about the Evil May Day xenophobic riot of 1517 in London. This passage was written 400 years ago, but times never change. Humanity refuses to change its unwarranted bias against 'others'.

Deloitte paid its UK-based partners £1.125m. Firm has 784 equity partners. Due to self-employed status of partners, employer national insurance (ENI) is not paid on profits shared. 150,000 ENI avoided on every £1m of profits shared. Billions lost across the country. Must end this privilege.

75% of our leading food crops depend on pollinators. No bees = no tomatoes, no beans, no peppers, no mangoes, no coffee. You think food comes from the supermarket. It comes from a bee that just died from insecticide drift.

When farms stop yielding, hunger does not knock — it breaks the door. Across the Horn of Africa, soils that once fed nations are turning barren. This is not “bad weather.” This is climate change rewriting our food systems in real time.

Another illustration of my madcap thought experiment that you only get the vote between ages 16 and 65. (I’m nearly that age btw) To be making decisions for things that you’ll likely not live to see or be affected by should exempt you from voting. Also that voting is compulsory. Mad, I know

I will be backing SGP from now on, when it comes to voting. But any strategy , IMO (and others, too) ought to centre on building momentum amongst the people so it’s unassailably true that a consistent and sizeable majority favours indy. Around about 50/50 is within the margin of error
