Independence is normal

Imagine US citizens in 1776 not voting for independence because they didn't like Pat Randolph. Who? Exactly.
This isn't about the SNP or any other political party.
It’s about your children and grandchildren having
the power to choose what’s best for Scotland. 1/3

Why is a £5.75m Scot Gov investment not newsworthy at all but a £0.25m Lottery Fund grant is? One of the very few reports in the media – Not a word in the place it should be, surely? Instead a much lesser investment of £250 000 for a bridege gets in By stewartb The main Scotland page …

Did you see on BBC Scotland News about UK Labour’s plans to overrule Scottish Parliament decisions on devolved matters?
No, neither did I. #Scotland #Holyrood26 #SNP1SGP2

Wonder if they think that failure to support Scotland will make us say

“oh no what shall we do without Wastemonster”

because it absolutely won’t

It’ll make me say Scottish independence is the only way to support Scotland

If we do this and succeed, and then the SNP puts Indy on the back burner - again - they are f*cked. This is the last chance voters will give them.

A bit like Labour's Sarwar immediately trying to blame the SNP Scottish Government for a vape shop that caught fire in Glasgow - when controlling the sale of vapes is a power retained by the London parties. Of course the BBC in Scotland only reported Sarwar's comments.

A good few times I've seen the old 🌰 of how Scottish independence would end up like Brexshit, for 1 thing we don't have any of the benefits that we had in the EU with the UK, so what exactly would we lose if we left the UK, I know what we'd gain, full control of our vast resources, rejoin EU, make/

Do BBC Scotland’s unnamed ‘anti-poverty charities’ doubting that John Swinney’s child poverty targets will be met, five years from now, include the one whose head says the revolutionary Child Paymen... if he misses the Government’s child poverty reduction target.

England needs Independence too -
the vote to abolish jury trials in England and Wales was only carried by the votes of Scottish Labour MPs whose constituencies are not affected.

A leaked memo shows Keir Starmer instructing MPs in his Cabinet to undermine devolution.

Keir Starmer owes the Scottish people an apology; it is blatantly anti-Scottish.

Worse still, though not surprising, branch office manager Anas Sarwar has supported his master in this.

I’m sure this be very useful for Scotland at the UN when the English Gvt tells them Scotland isn’t a colony because it has self governance.

Why are we politely asking the tech firms to police their sites?

They’ve made trillions. They need to be theatened with crippling fines and bans.

We all know what this is really about: Who owns the world? The billionaires or the people.

Governments are giving every sign it’s the billionaires.

The best people to make decisions for Scotland are the people who live here, not politicians in London.

But Labour continue to show that they're only too happy to use Tory legislation to bypass and undermine Scottish democracy.

Voting Sarwar anywhere near power over us would be equally as bad as voting Farage in to hold power over us.
The only leader answerable to the Scottish people and happy to be so is John Swinney.
