Poster asking to look at the UK the other way around, with England governed by Scotland.

I see that some southern-based people are struggling with the idea that Scotland may be a colony of England. It may help if they try looking at things the other way around . .

The SNP is scrapping peak rail fares across Scotland - for good.

From September, Hamilton commuters to Glasgow will save ยฃ760 a year, and those from Larkhall ยฃ910 a year.

Weโ€™re cutting costs, putting money back in your pocket, and focusing on what matters to you.

51 years ago, the UK prime minister received a report on the astonishing wealth of Scotland's oil. It was hushed up for decades in a bid to suppress support for independence. Today, as energy prices soar under UKLabour despite our nation's renewable riches, The National publishes it in full.

This is what Westminster doesn't want you to read: The McCrone Report in full IMPORTANT: The McCrone Reportย has no paywall today. We believe it is vitally important that everybody can access it. You can support us with aโ€ฆ

It's the 51st anniversary of the McCrone report when Westminster covered up the true extent of Scotland's oil wealth. Now they're downplaying Scotland's renewable energy wealth & exporting it while Scotland has some of the highest fuel bills in Europe.

Every news channel has been saying all day the Tate brothers' history is one of misogyny, their return is shady, and the effect on victims traumatic.

AND YET... all of them are standing by to livecast any remark the Tates care to make after landing, live and in full.

You are part of the problem.

'For the benefit of BBC Scotlandโ€™s users: a recent review of Scotlandโ€™s school estate reminds us that in 2007, before the SNP came to power, 37.3% of schools were in poor or bad condition โ€“ equating to 993 schools.
Now the figure is 8.3%! '

Yes, that's correct, but in nurseries,if a few children have their birthdays in a week and cakes are brought in for sharing,toddlers could be having cake almost every day - not so good! A good nursery will encourage sharing of a favourite fruit. The kids still enjoy a treat but it's healthier!

I seem to have upset the Nigel Farage fan club - so let me be clear.

This man sows hate, lies and division.

He is a grifter and a conman.

He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.

Repost if you agree

P.s. multiculturalism is great.

Duty on Spirits is ยฃ31 per litre of alcohol. For an average bottle, ยฃ11.40 is collected through duty and VAT. Tax on an average bottle of Scotch Whisky is now 75%.

'WTF', indeed!

We have Billions of resting Bottles! Scotch is 25% of ALL UK Food and Drink Exports.

Scottish Independence please!
