Scottish independence. Politics, sport, music and films. Colonialism is about economic exploitation. Don’t fall for the lies, smears and scaremongering aimed at maintaining the Westminster stranglehold. Give your children and grandchildren a better life.

Westminster Governments have siphoned off hundreds of billions of pounds in oil revenues from our corner of Scotland, yet in our hour of need Labour has abandoned Aberdeen & the north east.

Quick analysis of The Times today:
Wall to wall negative coverage of Labour’s budget. An editorial that tuts about lack of growth but takes no responsibility. And a double page ad to join Farage/Reform.
Absolutely no analysis on how rightwing ideology - including Brexit - has been utterly ruinous.
