Then explain to me why the UK extended the natural boundary from 1968 which allowed companies such as BP to draw from it since 1972? Then re- defined it again by 6,000 miles into North Sea in 1999 never once consulting the Scottish electorate to the annexation of Scottish waters.

What were the Wars of Independence fought for, if not to assert our self sufficiency in the strongest terms, when we are subjected to this kind of naked exploitation & subjugation by the British state? Why do Scots meekily accept this as being the norm? And why do @snp.org do nothing about it?

The Green Party of the UK committed one of the gravest crimes in living memory today when it passed a motion declaring that “Zionism is racism”.

This may seem strange, but working on policy in the UK Home Office in my twenties and thirties taught me that everyone should have rights under the law no matter how society views them, and that many who society despises are themselves survivors of trauma and deprivation in one way or another.

I wonder if Andy Pandy is going to respond by saying he wished it wasn't necessary but mony's tight etc, etc, but if Holyrood wants to mitigate there's nothing to stop it doing so. However it'll have to do so out of it's existing budget even if that gets reduced 🙄😡

Pure bunkum. In May 2026 Scotland gave a clear message asking the Parliament to seek a referendum on Independence. This week Holyrood voted overwhelmingly that Scotland has the right to determine it's own future. Not Westminster. Not No 10. Not the unelected Mr Burnham.

They will treat us with utter disdain just as they've treated the 60+ countries that have won freedom from them. Trump talks glibly about the 250 years since USA became (by war) Independent. The English still pompously deride them. We'll get the same treatment for not wanting to be English.

Mr Burnham refuses to "allow" a referendum on Scottish Independence. He joins a long line of cowards and democracy deniers. If he really wants to know what Scotland wants he should study the results of the May Holyrood elections. He won't. So, for Scotland, UDI and freedom is the way forward.

I agree William. I'm watching how Carney is playing Trump just now with enormous interest and admiration. Bullies never respect appeasers but can't cope with those who stand up to them. The Celtic Alliance is clearly worrying the English Government and with good reason. Strength in numbers.
