Scotland & Ireland. Believer in the European Project. Brexit proves that Scotland needs to split from England. Same time as Northern Ireland perhaps? A typical DEI type😎. Wary of Conflict Resolution.

Not a problem in Scotland; it’s a different country, different form of government (if limited by devolution) different parties, different values and Scotland owns its water.

As the FM of Wales is Labour maybe we just see this memo as an attack on pro Independence Scottish pastries.

EU threatens to pull funding for famed Venice art festival over Russian return The Venice Biennale reinstated Russia’s pavilion after a four-year absence.

Russia is openly hostile to the EU, European countries, institutions, values and cultures. For the Biennale to say they are opposed to β€œany form of exclusion or censorship of culture and art.”
Is ignoring the ubiquitous nature of the Russian propaganda machine.
Corruption or stupidity in Venice?

No. For Westminster #ScottishIndependence will be validation that investment there would have been a waste of money. There is no scenario in which England is wrong.

Westminster Whitehall Downing Street have NOTHING to give to the people of #Scotland & #NorthernIreland that they can’t have when Independent.

John Swinney: 'I won't rest until child poverty is eradicated in Scotland' In his Daily Record column, First Minister John Swinney says he will today unveil further steps to tackle child poverty.

Scotland has the lowest child poverty rate in the UK, and 90,000 fewer children live in poverty thanks to our policies.

But decisions at Westminster have too often held us back.

I want to fully eradicate child poverty, and Scotland should have the full powers to do it.

Would England not be better off if the hesitant/unsupported β€˜Special Relationship’ was buried and replaced by the reality of being fully in the European camp?
Is an β€˜Ordinary Relationship’ not enough?
Or does it have to be exceptional?

The English voted in many elections for pro Brexit stances. Believe them; they are not coming back anytime soon.
#IrishUnity & #ScottishIndependence are the only things that might give them the necessary cathartic shock.

Not a tangent Nigel. Talk about the UK β€˜getting closer to Europe’ (WTF) is silly as it’s ENGLAND that left. 7 May elections will have a #ScottishIndependence majority in Holyrood with a mandate for #IndyRef2.
#IrishUnity preparation will be a big issue in DΓ‘il before elections. Brexit is English.

@gylesnamopaleen.bsky.social is a good follow for #ScottishIndependence & @snp.org in the EU.

Nothing to do with f*** @scottishlabour.bsky.social . It’s a fixed mathematical calculation in which Scotland finds London’s incompetent infrastructure scams.

Never underestimate the range of β€˜stupid’. Vanity, arrogance, self-doubt, tiredness, ignorance, loneliness, dozens of things result in people doing stupid things and dragging others along with them.
Politeness is a two edged sword for the English: they need to call out the arseholes sooner and more

Does Badenock believe that all those Irish Catholics, and their descendants, spread around England are politically loyal to Rome?

After Independence most Unionist politicians will just accept the new reality and get on board with it. Some will scuttle Down Souf….like Douglas Alexander and Michael Shanks.
Chris Murray will go wherever his mummy, Countess Magrit Curran takes him.

Sarwar sees the 7 May Holyrood election as a Referendum on #ScottishIndependence…… that is why he is calling it a β€˜last chance’.
@snp.org and I agree with him. One Indy is won Sarwar will be pro Indy very quickly. 😎

β€˜Better Together’ in Scotland
β€˜Labour Together’ in London.
β€˜Together’ involves sleazy contempt for truth and democracy.
Labour and Tories are finished. Vote them to away in May!

England privatised water.
Scotland owns its water and will NEVER privatise it.
The Maddies Down Souf swing wildly to extreme ideologies.
Divorce them.
