This is not about democracy. Nor is it about ensuring that we 'can' have nuclear power stations. This is about the Tories, having spent seven decades in the wilderness in Scotland, overriding our elected gov't so that we WILL have nuclear power stations. The abuse continues. Only indy stops this.

I'm old enough to remember this campaign as a Labour union rep & this led me to leave them as they as they used a despicable tactic of registering people who had died from the electoral role regardless of their intention as NO voters. That's when I knew that Labour would never represent Scotland.

Mike Johnson is a typical Christian Nationalist, full of ahistorical disinformation about the United States. "In God We Trust" was not a motto from this nation's founding. It was added in 1956, at the height of the Cold War, as a Christian Nationalist rebuke to the Soviet Union.
