I love the way right wingers demand anyone who lives in England should speak English. But people like Tice and Oakeshott can move to Dubai, and NOT speak Arabic or even try to live by the culture? So it’s a one for rule bullshit system then?

“I’m old enough to remember when mainstream British politicians, who should know better, stirred up racial hatred as a path to power. You’re old enough to remember too because it was last Tuesday. And it was Robert Jenrick”

Cathartic anger at flag-flying racism.

What do you do with a lot of cheap banners hanging from motorway bridges once you’ve torn them down?

If Only Scotland was Independent as well.

The unemployment rate in Denmark was 2.6% in August 2025, according to Trading Economics and Investing.com.

In the UK in May to July 2025 it was 4.7%, an increase of 194,000 from the previous year.

Westminster will never do right by Scotland. Jobs would move north and they will loose votes in England if they did.
To stay in power Westminster parties have never needed Scottish support.

"If we believe in the sovereignty of the Scottish people, then the Scottish people must be respected. There's no electoral trick to achieving independence. It can only happen when a majority of Scots are in favour of it happening." Full video here:

Nigel Farage went to Dulwich College which when he attended was more expensive than Eton

He earns £1.5m a year, 92% of which comes from dodgy donations

His girlfriend pays £885,000 in cash to buy houses but she's a waitress.

He's not a 'working man' he's very rich and corrupt

Let’s vote SNP , let’s get our majority, let’s put pressure on Starmer ( we know he collapses ) . Let make it the #1 topic of this election. Let’s back John Swinney , and get this country the freedom and independence it deserves.

UK travellers should expect "four-hour queues" as new EU border system comes into force. Brexit really is the gift that keeps giving

In the UK we have Keir -island of strangers- Starmer, whose government is driving right wing anti immigrant and asylum seeker policies

In Spain, Pedro Sánchez is not only celebrating diversity, they're embracing and speaking positively about immigrants

Westminster caused this cost of living crisis - and they’re unable and unwilling to fix it.

Independence is how we raise your living standards, grow our economy and make Scotland’s energy wealth work for the people who live here.

The more people who vote SNP first and Scottish Greens second, the more pro-independence seats will be won and the fewer Unionist seats will be secured. 👍

Since 2014, we've been forced to live through the worst of Westminster - Brexit, Boris, Truss, and no change with Labour.

Only independence offers a fresh start for Scotland.
