I am a Scottish Independence supporter with revulsion of imperial & colonial countries. I love Audible. I live in Edinburgh Scotland amongst colonisers.
Our investigation into how to transform Scotland's public transport system has been one of my favourite we have ever done at The National From exploring tunnels for the islands to how to make transport cheaper (or even free) and innovative new ideas, it has been so fascinating
My latest blog piece. The shameful anti-SNP hysteria of the British media in Scotland even spins good news into SNPbad as we saw this week with the media response to the news that the pass rate for exams in Scotland has increased for a second year. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/08/05/e...
Even good news is spun into SNPbad by the media in Scotland
It’s often said there are two kinds of people in the world, those who say the glass is half full, and those who say it’s half empty. This is in fact inaccurate as there is a third kind,…

Zack Polanksi, "We need to look at the £2.7 billion in tax breaks that is given to fossil fuel companies, that should go into jobs in renewables, in nature, in care"
Just can’t argue with this! SNP are finished if they don’t honestly, passionately and bravely truly fight for independence. I’m more confident in Welsh and Irish FMs.
Robert F@chippyman.bsky.social · 5h agoI cancelled my membership over eight years ago. It had become clear to me that the SNP leadership had no real intention of advancing independence, despite repeated manifesto pledges. I concluded that the promise of an independence referendum was being used to win votes rather than delivered.
Real, actual Scots, on Social Media, they say, they PREFER the Glasgow, of the 20th Century. They think it was better, in the old days. Immigration has ruined it. Really? What am I missing?
"It’s clear our democracy is engineered by what can only be described as colonial masters. "If serious SNP must recognise & support Salvo’s UN live case" 🎯 I can't for the life of me understand why the SNP leadership aren't showing any support for, or even recognition of, SALVO at the UN.
Manucobra@cobramanu.bsky.social · 8h agoI cancelled my SNP membership after 2024 election result as the campaign was a disgrace! It’s clear our democracy is engineered by what can only be described as colonial masters. If serious SNP must recognise & support Salvo’s UN live case, call out bias & harms of uk media & pull our MPs from WM.
Nicola Sturgeon referring to the Scottish Green Party said “They don’t cower in the face of pressure from the right-wing media or corporate vested interests. And I think that wins respect, even from people who don’t support them.” She is absolutely right! SNP must follow suit!
But what are you going to do about it? The pipes are going in for our water, the pylons are going up for our renewables, they're planning for new nuclear we don't need ... Find a solution before we lose it all.

BBC Scotland is running a propaganda campaign pushing the idea that Scotland's cities - in particular Glasgow - need English style elected mayors. This is despite the Labour policy being comprehensively rejected in the Holyrood election. The colonial propaganda started in June.👇

The Wash Act. 1823. It really was just a Tax, on making Scotch Whisky. It means, Scotch Whisky has been Taxed to fuck, by England, for over two CENTURIES. It's a MUCH bigger theft than North Sea Oil. Miles bigger. It's depressing that nobody knows this, about 25% of UK Food and Drink Exports.
14 Nuclear Reactors in 6 countries in Europe are closed because they have run out of water for cooling. Nuclear Power is no solution, Solar and Wind ARE.
No it won't we don't want Further devolution. we want Independence And anything That's Written up"in London.. will never benefit Scotland in any way.. Further devolution would strengthen the case for a written constitution for the UK, Andy Burnham has said 👇
Come on SNP and Scottish Greens. You both asked for our votes on manifestos that promised a second independence referendum. Together, you hold the biggest pro-independence majority in Holyrood's history. It's time to turn that mandate into action. It's time to deliver.
Pension funds suddenly discovering that a 3°C hotter planet might ruin retirement portfolios is marvellous timing. It turns out compound interest loses quite a bit of its magic when the entire global financial system is swimming in uninsurable physical risk. #ClimateCrisis 📈🔥
Pension funds try to come to grips with the scariest global warming scenario
Long regarded as an outlier scenario, tipping points are now making their way into portfolio analysis and even informing financial regulations.

This is a reading list of material related to the union I was working from as a starting point a decade or so ago. A lot is actually available online but most digital archives you got to pay for. Once you familiarize yourself with basics, you can see traces of it elsewhere in archives.
Jameela Jamil: British people are ‘most evil in history’ - The Telegraph Factually true. Unfortunately, includes Scottish unionists who support English evils committed against patriotic Scot’s. True today and I’ve no doubt they’d repeat genocides of history such as clearances against us in future.
It pretty much is, within certain departments that touch on politics at least. Defense of the union and empire is default. There’s a lot of interesting papers on the subject produced by graduates/post graduates on JOSTR site. I’ve been through all the union related papers there, ton of material.

The democracy denier PM is trying to wipeout our country by permanently binding Scotland to the UK via a constitution like Catalan with Spain. I despise this self styled “King of the North”. He seem determined to push us down the same historic road as the ROI. www.thenational.scot/news/2642939...
Devolution plans strengthen case for written UK constitution, says Andy Burnham

If the only choice we have then I’d support it. Firstly, I’d rather the SNP and SGP joined Liberation’s case with the UN. That would prove their first allegiance is to an independent Scotland and to the Scottish people, rather than England’s royal family. If not, then let’s suffer for Independence.
James The Good@sirjamesdouglas.bsky.social · 5d agoA FORMER British diplomat has drawn up a strategy for Scottish independence which could trigger a war with the rest of the UK. Craig Murray, once Britain's ambassador to Uzbekistan and now a campaigner for independence, has put forward a three-point plan he said could see Scotland leave the Union.
Let's think about this sudden "50 000 migrants invading Spain/Europe" event. Why now? Who benefits? What is happening and how it is being used? Good points made here.
As the UN Secretary General says, every new fossil fuel project approved today makes tomorrow’s heatwaves more dangerous & our world less secure. I hope Andy Burnham is listening. Caving in to the fossil fuel lobby as the planet burns would be unforgivable
