If he can tell a female Bloomberg reporter, "Quiet, piggy.", call AOC and Crockett "low IQ" and refer to almost every strong woman "nasty," imagine how he treated the vulnerable underage girls he brutally violated that weren't there by choice.

I feel your pain James, the media's role in Scotland before and after the referendum was disgusting. You can add that to the lessons.

SNP 1&2 may have been successful in 2011 but it's difficult to see any replication. The electorate are more engaged and understand the D'hondt system better. It's pointless now to try to persuade folk to give both votes to one party. A majority of independence supporting parties must be key.

With all the horrors that are going on in the World a reform representative is more concerned with skin tone in the advertising industry. Reform in a nutshell. Imagine wanting to put them in charge.

It's all they have. If asked why Scotland shouldn't aspire to independence they misquote purposefully. It's disingenuous on their part, if they had a good argument they'd shout it from the rooftops.

BS on social media saying that asylum seekers are given phones and money on arrival in the UK. Here is the truth! fullfact.org/immigration/...

Asylum seekers living in hotels do not receive £70 a week – Full Fact
Thousands of people have viewed a video supposedly featuring a former ‘migrant hotel employee’, who makes a number of incorrect claims about what government support asylum seekers receive.

I don't know any Global political body that isn't " nationalist". The conflation of nationalism with right wing populism is an agendised exaggeration. The Scot Gov welcomes immigration, is pro- minority groups and issues free sanitary products and baby boxes. RW nationalists would be balking.😁

Yes the independence of the judiciary is important but does that excuse the executive from dealing with a political' hot potato ' rather than involving the judiciary and setting a precedent which will make negotiations in the future more difficult?

Michael🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @michael-59.bsky.social · 23/04/2025
Yes, you're right of course but why should arbitration be required to override elected governance? It's a long established political body , surely it could've handled a niche question on human rights and reached a compromise rather than affecting the rigidity of law?

Michael🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @michael-59.bsky.social · 23/04/2025
The UK Gov can overrule , after all they create the law and the judiciary interprets it. To pass a difficult and unpopular issue over to the judiciary is a craven dereliction of duty.

Same thing with me. I decided that during a thunderstorm it was maybe a good idea to reconnect that earth wire to the radiator 😲 A simultaneous flash and bang the second I touched it told me it probably wasn't such a bright idea 🫣

She's a Fairweather politician just like Sarwar and Ruth Davidson. No where to be seen during rough times. The media shouldn't allow them to cherry pick the interviews.

The Monarchy would wither on the vine if their financial upkeep was dependent on loyalist support. I do not believe they are as popular as reported. Most people couldn't care less whether they stay or go.

I suppose if we could put a positive slant on it then after over 3 centuries of indoctrination and mass media compliance they have only a debatable ever decreasing 50% support for the status. Bring on the young ones, independence is inevitable.

I'm embarrassed to admit I had radio Scotland on this morning, this 'report' (sic) was truly jaw dropping in its idiocy. No matter what the Scottish Government does the BBC will find and lead with a negative. I pinky promise not to listen in again.

If there was a reason rest assured we would have heard it by now. Their most salient and substantive argument ( in their eyes) was the vacuous and meaningless" better together" They had and have nothing more.

I've always felt that independence is for my kids/grandkids as a great number of my generation suffers from myopia and indoctrination. Any serious pro indy politician should be harnassing and energising the young ones right now.

I know, that's why I'm saying something is not right. Even the most fervent unionist has to concede the image they held of the UK has become tainted. We shouldn't need polls, every Scot should be shouting from the rooftops that they were conned in 2014.

Dear me! Whilst it is good that Scotland seems to understand the dangers of Farage, it is depressing that, for so many people, they are hedging our bets until he gets into power. Have we learned nothing from the Johnston and Truss debacles? We need to reject the Union before he is elected.
Graphic showing increased support for Scottish independence if Farage is elected.

Brexit! Farage and his ilk as sitting MP's! The damp squib that is Labour! Immigration a bigger topic than endemic poverty! Constant flat lining of the economy! Price hikes in every conceivable corner! After 10 years we are only 4 points ahead in the polls!? Something is not right

Honestly, the twisted contradictory rhetoric they have to use to make Royalty appear a normal and benevolent institution set upon us lowly serfs is outstanding. Folk claim they're benign and we should leave them alone. Not me, I think the damage they do by their very existence is insurmountable.
