1/3 My posts about Scottish Independence & our position within an unequal union, its policies being dictated to us, edicts framed within their convenieny laws applied over what we & our politicians are permitted to do may seem overly zealous. That is not the point. Cont.

Burnhams position on Scottish Independence is clear. Unionism is not about equality. Or democracy. What they want, they will take!.... 'We own Scotland! You will never be allowed to have the democracy you seek. Instead, we will impose our rule.

This!....

No Unionist politician will answer the question: "How does Scotland leave the UK?" So, do you think that Burham will codify that process into a written constitution? No, he will tighten the legal rope round our neck. We need #ScottishIndependence more than ever. www.thenational.scot/news/2643247...

1/2 Irish political parties are preparing for a potential Border Poll with Northern Ireland on Irish Unity as early as 2030. Why? Because they are allowed to do so under the protection of International Law. Meanwhile in Scotland we are told to S.T.F.U. & remember our place! Cont.

1/3 This message was stated by Michelle Obama at the inauguration of the Obama Presidential Library. Its content can be equaly applied to Scotland.... "we simply don't have the luxury or time to be cynical or complacent, to wring our hands in despair, Cont.

1/2 If Burnham is so confident about his "codified UK Constitution" then let the voters across the UK have a democratic say on the issue through independent & ringfenced refereda in each constituent nation. One in which all voters are cognisant in advance of all implications. Cont.

1/2 So tired of hearing the trope "lazy immigrants" from politicians & their supporters who representive a political & economic system that enslaved whole populations of free nations to do the work they refused to do for themselves, Cont.

1/2 Reform challenges our right to use our historic languages in political literature. What's next‽ Their proscription in schools enforced by a repurposed Scottish Knot! Our flags designated illegal, our cultural celebrations banned, our whispered use of the banned Gaelic, Doric, Cont.

1/2 "Imagine that there was a union of free nations, but that it then attempted to punish one of its members for wanting to leave it? What might that say about the moral claims of such a union? The big casualty of Brexit is the EU’s claims of moral legitimacy." This is a direct quote Cont

1/2 Language is important, and never more so than now. Reform attacks our right to use our historic languages in political literature. That is only the start! Our borders are eroded, and our culture invalidated, calling into question our existence as a nation, Cont.

1/3 Unionism has had over 300 years to address the inequalities that exist across our lands. They have not fixed those issues because they do not want to. Not then, not now, not ever. The only way that we can grow as a nation is with full & absolute autonomy, where our Cont.

👀 The Celtic Exit has begun. #BelieveinScotland

So the new 7 in 10 PM and his Ministers refuse to engage about Independence or deign to speak to legitimate questions sought by the media. Nowt but more of the same, more of their Claim, more of the shame. Scotland Deserves Better!

1/2 Much is made of Scotlands bid for Independence with a lot of the traction based around the concept of our wanting to "break apart the UK" & the subsequent refusal by WM to ever sanction a referendum. In reality, this is a refusal to acknowledge that democracy has any place in Scotland, Cont.

An end to our involvement in unionism is far preferable to unionism without end!

WM/unionism smoke & mirrors!.... SNP majority = We are telling you, you are not ever allowed to have a referendum! SNP minority = You are telling us you don't ever want a referendum! See how it works‽

I bow to no man, nor accord Sarwar the tite bestowed by colonialism. He has done nothing to earn the respect of Scots. I profoundly reject undue cronyism, blatant manipulation, nor yield my principles to an institution I have no respect for!.... www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Westminster promises are like rivers of shite. Wade through it if you must, but never swallow any of it in the belief it is a remedy for good!

I yearn for the day Scottish Independence is attained. To freely contest government & be wholly confident in the knowledge that whichever party wins, it will solely represent Scotlands democratic choice & be totally free, under statute, from foreign political interference and exploitation.

We’re now on our 7th PM since Brexit! And yet again with no answer to the fuck ups of Westminsters own creation! Westminster is in sheer disarray, no stability, no cohesion, just manufactured shiteshow perma-chaos! Scotland deserves better!

1/4 Westminster has decreed that they have sovereignty over all political evolution pertaining to their Union. It effectively dictates that the Scottish people are allowed no say within its democratic voice, choice, & future if that voice calls for Independence. Cont.

1/2 Just how long can Westminster continue to impose its undemocratic veto (for that is what it is) over the rights of Scotland to hold a free and unhindered Independence vote? It is just a matter of time, and the longer they refuse to remove that incoherent veto, Cont.

Just seen this wee beauty in me garden bin. Candy Stripe spider....

1/3 I have had many conversations with unionists who would deny Scotland the right to self-determination & Independence. Every one of them has been unable to provide a coherent, logical, & concrete argument as to why their union should prevail. Cont.

Ostrich mentality. Refusing to discuss the issue does not mean it is irrelevant. Standard colonial mindset writ large!.... Andy Burnham visits Scotland but 'will not discuss referendums' | The National share.google/lFhBIQ3CY8FW...

Milkshake Duck Policy: £2 bus fares! Fantastic! Targets low-income people, wildly popular, boosts public transit *checks funding details* It’s funded by converting climate grants to poor countries into loans, further indebting these countries debtjustice.org.uk/press-releas...

1/2 Northern Ireland is allowed a referendum specific to Irish Reunification, with the unhindered ability to hold futher referendums on the same subject every 7 years thereafter until "Yes" is achieved! Why should Scotland be forever excluded from disparate laws Cont.

1/2 The political expediency framed within hypocrisy of WM claiming that newly elected government's, are not incumbent in honouring the previous governments policies. After all, policies are allowed to be challenged & changed in a free & open democracy. Cont.
