A shitty 1 seat more??? How about 30 seats more! If SNP supporters hadn't wasted 1 million List votes by voting SNP 1 and 2 and gave their List votes to Scottish Greens we could have had 90/129 Indy seats in Holyrood. A 40 seat majority instead of 1!! 70% of parliament

Exactly! There is no "Trickle Down " economics. Just another lie from the Tories initially and now Labour and ReformUK.

In 2011 SNP only won 53 Constituency seats, so in certain regions they were able to pick up List seats. That isn't going to happen in 2026. SNP are polling 62 Constituency seats and zero List seats, so no seat majority and they won't get 50%of the Constituency or List votes either.

Official road accident reports indicate that cyclists contribute to a significant number of accidents, with some older data suggesting cyclists were a contributory factor in around half of all one-on-one collisions with vehicles. Stop the blame game! Cyclists are as bad as vehicle drivers!

glassrod57.bsky.social @glassrod57.bsky.social · 21h

People sit a driving test to go in a car. But people can get on a bike, clueless about road priorities, etiquette, signalling etc. Some Cyclists don't use cycle lanes where they are provided because they are too macho. Yes, there are bad drivers, but there are also bad cyclists

30mph in a legal zone is not fast. At that speed a Smart2 can kill a pedestrian/cyclist. You are obviously a blinkered obsessive person. "Distracting toys". I see numerous cyclists with earphones in, no helmet & poorly dressed for cycling. Accidents happen I will keep the metal shield around me

Yeh, well good on you mate. Cyclists also make mistakes. Don't be so blinkered.

Add rail and bus travel too

glassrod57.bsky.social @glassrod57.bsky.social · 1d

Going on our roads in a car is dangerous enough. Going on the same roads with a bit of Lycra to protect you is nuts. Accidents happen. Humans make mistakes. Statistics will say that cycling deaths are part and parcel of life. Expect more deaths as bike lanes proliferate.

First things first! Get a massive Indy majority at Holyrood in 2026 then press for either another Referendum or if that is refused just declare UDI.

We can get 90/129 seats in 2026 if Indy supporters just vote for two parties -

SNP - Constituency candidate

Scottish Greens - Regional List vote

Blair took us to war on a lie, a war that killed a million Iraqis & destabilised the entire region. And the reason he's now being touted for a role governing Gaza (and allowed to swan around the world making millions from dictators) is because there's been no accountability #GMB

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 The First Minister of Scotland is just about to give his Leaders Speech at the SNP Conference:

This is the bbc Propaganda Units’ TV coverage -

bbc1 in Scotland :
“Escape to the Country”

bbc2 in Scotland :
“Great british Menu”

bbc Scotland :
“Amazing Hotels”

It’s called propaganda by omission

And that has been the case for a very long time, its not that the BBC lies, although that's debatable, it's what they omit to tell you.They have an agenda.
Why ,when the majority support inde ,have the BBC never made a programme about the advantages of independence ?
Strange ?Not if you are the BBC

There is more than enough wealth in this country to end poverty and fund our NHS.

Communities have been punished by decades of Tory and Labour cuts, whilst the super-rich have hoarded Scotland's wealth.

Did anyone have trouble seeing the SNP political broadcast on the BBC? We have Virgin and BBC1 was "unavailable" for the exact 5 minutes John Swinney was on. Strange. #SNP
