Everyone knows who and what Reform UK stand for:
β«οΈ The wealthy few.
β«οΈ Scrapping international human rights protections.
β«οΈ And privatising the NHS in favour of an insurance-based system.
The worrying part is that some still think itβs worth it because they believe immigration will be stopped.
Perhaps this is a timely reminder that devolution is a reserved matter.

"Faslane to become Scotlandβs main conventional naval base".
Oh dear - now weβre getting not only insults but also incorrect statements.
You didnβt ask me whether there was any evidence that the majority of Scots wanted another referendum.
Nor did I make any such claim.
You made a statement.
π
Around 6,500 military personnel, contractors and civilian employees work at the Clyde naval base according to the UK Defence Journal. Not 60,00.
However, most of these jobs are not directly tied to Trident. Many support conventional submarines, other naval vessels and general base operations.
Iβve also voted SNP for over 40 years and was, until recently, a paid-up member and donor for at least 20 of those years.
I answered the only question you asked.
You also claimed that I stated how strong support for indy is. I didnβt.
You still havenβt answered the question I asked:
Where did I claim how strong support for independence is?
Your response is typical from someone who canβt accept they were wrong.
IndyRef2 should be his top priority - yesterday, today and tomorrow regardless of a majority.
He alone boxed himself in by claiming that only an SNP majority in May would justify asking for another referendum.
Heβs effectively surrendered to the unionists before a single vote is even cast.
The BIG problem is that the SNP are actively promoting both votes SNP when there's absolutely no reason for them to do so (unless they predict tanking in the Constituencies).
It makes you wonder why theyβre content to deliberately βwasteβ hundreds of thousands of second votes.
Even with hindsight (though they didnβt need it), I really donβt think they care whether it was a bad idea or not.
They got exactly what they wanted - A Westminster government with a massive majority, saving themselves a jobby load of cash and kicking Scotland in the baubles at the same time.
Strangely enough, itβs often the poorest in society who give a portion of their limited means to religious churches.

Do you remember the 2024 General Election pledge that they would create 70,000 jobs for Scotland and secure Scotland's energy future?
Labour has slashed 95% of its GB Energy plan, abandoning the clean-energy targets and promised bill cuts.
A huge U-turn that risks Scotlandβs energy future.
The 2024 UK general election turnout was 59.7%.
This was the lowest turnout in 25 years.
The Labour Party (UK) won about 33.7% of the vote nationwide and a large parliamentary majority of over 400 seats.
I've never said that Britain isn't an island.
Grow up and take the shame.
Now away and boil your head and make a pot of silly soup.
Oh dear - your post is completely wrong.
Iβve already given the correct information politely, yet youβre still doubling down.
If youβre going to use the Union Jack as your profile picture, you should at least have a basic understanding of what it represents and its history.
You stink of Farage.
You're not really good at the history malarkey are you.
1707: Great Britain formed - Queen Anne was monarch.
1801: United Kingdom formed - George III was monarch.
George III was not Scottish.
What a load of nonsense.
Scots should hold a referendum when they want
The 2014 Scottish independence referendum had a turnout of 84.59%
It was the highest turnout recorded for any election or referendum in the United Kingdom since 1928.
Where do I claim how strong support for independence is?
You are mixing up the union of Parliaments and the union of crowns.
One was King James in 1603.
Scotland & England kept separate parliaments, laws and governments.
But shared the same monarch.
The actual political union came later with the Acts of Union 1707 during the reign of Queen Anne.
Sounds a good plan to me π
I think it's possible things may have changed for the better since then π€
Me too.
Thank you π
π
Bot.
Correct π
Not enough space in one single post that's Scottish Parliament election themed to list their disgusting manifesto.
Are you going to vote for another party in that election?
