Every country has the right to democracy, to determine their future and have ownership of their taxes and national resources. In Scotland’s case these norms do not apply. Fair? Opinions my own. RT not always endorsements.
“A country that can instantly fund endless wars but debates every dime for healthcare and education doesn't have a budget issue--it has a values issue."
A billion dollars a day going towards the war in Iran so far.
Just announced: Iceland has urgently moved up its referendum to join the European Union - to 29 August.
A reminder: 🇮🇸 is in many ways already a non-voting 🇪🇺 member because of the EEA. This would give them voting power to shape the laws they have to follow.
I don’t have much time for Ed Davey, but he is spot on here.
Independence will generate a £109,000,000,000 asset windfall for Scotland 👇

The U.S. war on Iran is now estimated to cost $1 billion per day. Meanwhile Americans are told there’s no money for healthcare, hospitals, or basic social programs.

Labour do NOT have Scots interests at heart, these sleekit house jocks give their loyalty to the WM govt instead.

There are two wars that each could be ended by one man.
Vladimir Putin has to stop attacking Ukraine.
Donald Trump has to stop attacking Iran and refuse to support Israel's attacks.
So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.
That's roughly $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
People do not want this.
They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
A couple things…
The “conflict“ in Iran *IS* a war.
It is a war of choice.
It is warfare without conscious.
It was unprovoked.
And I’m sick and tired of people suggesting & implying the only tragedies herein are that US Service Members have died. The people of Iran are innocents in this conflict!
"The Republicans are pushing a ‘trad wife’ lifestyle; quality childcare is still not affordable for many working women. The clock is ticking backwards on women’s rights in America."

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Lord Awful!
Unable to find a comparable brutal drug gang or child rape grooming gang based in Scotland, with only weeks to go before the election, they now wish this horror upon us talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2026/03/05/u...
Alice, a poodle lab mix
Oh Alice. Picked up as a stray in Arkansas and unclaimed. She was scheduled to be euthanized but caught a break and is coming to the Twin Cities. She needs a foster home and some love.

Good on Spain not giving into the Tango Tyrant.
WHAT OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD IS SUBJECTED TO POLITICAL INTERFERENCE IN THEIR ELECTIONS BY ANOTHER COUNTRY?👇
After four days of hesitating, the president of France has joined the prime minister of Spain in saying that the 🇺🇸🇮🇱 attack on Iran is a violation of international law.
But they are still the only 2 EU leaders to have done so. Will others join?
i wonder if the blue tents be on the lawn 👇

I wasn't going to blog again today but some stories can't be missed - BBC Scotland has been humiliated as its own polling shows a lead for independence, a Yes majority when don't knows are removed. Pacific Quay is in full on damage limitation mode.

We rescued Ferguson Marine to save jobs, and we are determined to see it succeed.
Today we have set out proposals to award four new vessel contracts to Ferguson Marine – to secure a pipeline of work, protect jobs and strengthen the future of shipbuilding on the Clyde.
The Lib Dem leader called on 'tax exiles in Dubai' to also start paying UK taxes to fund the Armed Forces.
Oh
"Scottish party leaders"? Labour, Lib Dems, the Tories (and Farage's Reform) all run their parties from London. Amazing that folk were taken in by this in 2014.

Warning UK at risk of being pulled into illegal war
Why is Keir Starmer utterly incapable of saying no to Donald Trump?
Our national security requires us not to be dragged into illegal wars.
The Prime Minister is making us less safe. Did we learn nothing from Iraq?

How does the Scottish NHS compare with its English counterpart you ask? This ten minute video will answer your question. Hopefully someone will pass it to Anas Sarwar and Jackie Baillie. 👇
