@Wen @tf @CloudyMrs @Roadwarrior29

For me it's a recurring theme - be it the need for rebuttal units (still zilch from the SNP needless to say) or the possibility of public information campaigns etc. The Cringe is rooted in Scotland after centuries of negative often racist bilge undermining the country and it's simply not in Westminster's interests to draw attention to anything positive in Scotland. Then there's the McCrone Report and all that says about their attitude towards Scotland....

@CloudyMrs @Roadwarrior29

I have a Scottish friend who's been in England since the early 80s. They knew nothing about the Baby Box or the National Entitlement Card scheme or Social Security Scotland but their reaction to my mentioning Nicola Sturgeon in a recent conversation was fascinating. Pure unquestioning visceral contempt. But they couldn't explain clearly why they felt that way. They also agreed most folk in England believed they were "subsidising" Scotland with their taxes....

The Observer:

"US and UK forces help shoot down Iranian drones over Jordan, Syria and Iraq.

"US defence official says action is part of ‘ironclad commitment to Israel’s security’, with [the] Royal Air Force also involved in regional operations."

In other words, the RAF has been in action, on Israel's side, to defend Israel from the Iranian response to Israel destroying Iran's consulate in Damascus.

Any questions?

"Suella Braverman says she is 'convinced Israel is not breaking international law or committing genocide' in Gaza." (LBC)

That's because Suella is a gaslighting fascist f*ckwit.

"In my letter to you of 23 February, I called upon the UK Government to ban the license of arms exports from the UK to Israel, given the risk of increasing bloodshed caused by Israel’s threat to carry out a ground offensive into Rafah. I note that I have yet to receive a response and you have taken no such action, despite the death-toll continuing to increase."

Letter from Humza Yousaf to Rishi Sunak today.

(Ignoring letters from First Ministers is an integral part of the British government's "respect agenda".)

Why are Scots paying the highest energy prices in Europe?

Why are renewable energy generation stats almost always presented as total UK?

Do you know they're quietly, systematically selling Scotland out on renewable energy, just as they did North Sea oil?

Why is it they're so terrified of #ScottishIndependence?

#YouYesYet? #WakeUpScotland

"... historically, as far as the English are concerned, they [the Scots] are like a turd that won’t flush. It’s like a boil that you have to keep lancing over and over again."

“... it’d be funny if Westminster *gave* them their independence and... later that day, you sent in the RAF and the parachute regiment and [invaded] them entirely. And that’s it – put an end to any idea of sovereignty.”

Imagine what these Reform Party psychos are saying in private.

@fkamiah17

Rory The Tory is a pseudo-intellectual twat.

He cites Spain but that's a completely different constitutional situation.

Either this is a voluntary union or it's not. This shite about rUK having a say in #ScottishIndependence rears its ugly head from time to time. If it ever came to pass there would be riots.

🤬🤬🤬🤬

@CatHerder @Indyposterboy @Roadwarrior29

Scotland has 90% of the UK's fresh surface water.

Ever wonder why they're so desperately blocking our self-determination while continually reminding us we're too small, too poor and too stupid to be independent?

#YouYesYet #IndependenceIsNormal

Read the comments made by Gove, Cameron and Starmer following Sunak's bonkers far right rant yesterday. It's impossible to differentiate between their fawning nauseating sanctimonious appeals to unity and cohesion.

After fourteen long years of vicious Anglo-British nationalism from the Tories, Starmer offers only more of the same.

The UK's well and truly screwed.

"A month after allegations that a dozen United Nations staff were involved in the October 7 Hamas attack, UN investigators have yet to receive any evidence from Israel to support the claims.

"The allegations against the 12 employees of the UN Relief and Works Agency #UNRWA led 16 major donors to suspend contributions totalling $450 million at a time when more than two million Gazans are facing famine."

#NaziIsrael #IsraelGenocide

The National's latest "Holyrood Weekly Podcast": STV's Colin McKay asks Anas Sarwar *6 times* if there is anything he disagrees with in the #SNP #Gaza ceasefire motion.

Sarwar body swerves McKay's question. 6 times. He can't bring himself to acknowledge the SNP motion reflects - almost verbatim - the #OptionalIdentityMark's own conference motion!

Sarwar has zero influence over the UK leadership, or even his 2 "Scottish" MPs at Westminster.

But we knew that anyway.

#WhatsThePointOfSarwar

@ThyckHyde

Scottish Labour is just about in Starmer's peripheral vision but only when he's forced to acknowledge it exists. It must be incredibly frustrating for many party members to be treated with disdain by the Anglo-British control freaks in London to the point that they're simply ignored or overruled.

It's time Scottish Labour got real, got off its knees and became more than just an #OptionalIdentityMark. Until it does that, it's kidding itself on.

"You don’t have to have Higher maths... to work out that even if every Westminster seat was won by a nationalist, their influence would be minimal. The Commons arithmetic ensures they can be outvoted on everything and anything."

"If the ­allegedly independence-supporting troops have been made to look utterly irrelevant – and they surely have – what, precisely, is the point of them?"

"Had the Commons backed the SNP’s motion, a full-throated call to “end the collective punishment of the Palestinian people” and “press for a ceasefire now”, it would have been a meaningful statement for the world."

"Hoyle agreed to let Labour hijack the SNP’s motion – despite the fact that Labour has more than six times as many annual debate days and hasn’t used any to focus on Gaza".
