Scots pay highest bills in the UK The absolute con, that is the ‘national grid’, that the cost of sending Electricity generated in Scotland, down to England, is charged onto Scottish consumers. Add that & the Ofgem racketeering, adds further costs to Scots because England still uses gas turbines.

58% say YES to Scottish independence. That’s not a fringe—it’s a majority. Yet Westminster clings to economic control while Scotland fuels the UK’s energy, whisky, and exports. Independence isn’t a dream—it’s overdue. #Scotland #IndyRef2

Can you guess whose NHS performs best – Scotland, England, or Wales?
In Scotland The SNP has been responsible for the NHS since 2007. In Wales Labour has run it since 1999. In England its Labour again, after the Liberals and Tories had their turn. Which performs best?

BBC Scotland isn't Scottish. It's a London controlled franchise. The 'News' department doesn't report news, it pushes political (unionist) narratives. BBC reporters don't mention that Scotland already builds more affordable houses/head than England. The narrative must be negative (via @MSM_monitor)
