Did you know that the Scotch whisky industry exported £5.2bn of goods last year!

Region?
Fuck off!
Andy Burnham: I don't want to see Scotland left out of my regional devolution plans trib.al/GfPCks6

I've just joined the Independence group in @theSNP to ensure that Independence is at the front of everything we do. 🏴Join us and build the movement independencescot.com/join-us

So, predictably, Burnham comes up here to discuss devolution with Welsh & Scottish FMs & then emerges to tell us his stance hasn’t change one iota. His plan is still to try & cheat Scottish electorate by shifting power from those we elected to use these powers to those we didn’t.

Most people in Scotland understand what
SNP UK LONDON
asset stripping looks like.
Scotland loses its resources, its tools, its ability to stand on its own.
But something similar happened to Scotland’s education system over decades.
Scotland wasn’t taught its own constitutional history.
Not the Claim of Right.
Not the Community of the Realm.
Not the fact that sovereignty sits with the people, not with Westminster.
Not the terms of the 1707 Treaty.
Not the rights Scotland never gave away.
When you remove a nation’s knowledge of its own foundations, you remove its ability to recognise when those foundations are being eroded.
That’s a form of asset stripping too not of money, but of understanding.
So today, Scots know their resources are being taken.
But many don’t know their rights are being taken with them.
That gap wasn’t accidental.
And filling it is the civic task of our time.☮️🌏⚖️🏴🏴🤔🤔

Excellent. 👏
When can we (Scotland) expect our apology for putting Scots on ghost ships & selling them for as little as £5 to the English colonies when Cromwell annexed Scotland for the first time? Or during the genocide that was reframed as the clearances?

✂️ Labour are cutting Scotland's budget by £650mil next year, that is £20 every second!
📉 This means less money for Scotland's public services and supporting people with the cost of living!

‼️ Andy Burnham's decision to replace standing charges with higher gas unit prices will push up energy bill costs in Scotland.
👀 Labour tried to pull the wool over the eyes of Scots, but no amount of trickery can hide the sky-high bills that people will be paying this winter!

DON’T FALL FOR THAT OLD YOON TRICK..
By diverting the question of Independence to secondary questions which every other Country faced once they left the “Empire”.
Stick to the ONLY question that matters..
YES or NO.

Scotland just delivered one of the most powerful clean-energy statements in modern history. On multiple occasions, the country’s wind turbines generated around 200% of national electricity demand, producing far more power than Scotland itself needed.
It can be done!!!
No time to wait. #ActOnClimate #renewables

As an independent country, Scotland would not have to put up with soaring energy bills and more Budget cuts.
We would ensure our wealth works for the people who live here, not Westminster.

In eastern Canada, on Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, a very old language is still spoken. It was brought across hundreds of years ago by European settlers: Scottish Gaelic.
However, its long-term prognosis, both in Scotland and Canada, is a cause for concern.

Feeling quite underwhelmed by #Budget2026
For Scots £200M for Grangemouth already cancelled. Today £200M for the Acorn Carbon Capture project cancelled. We really get nothing back for our industries, for all the energy we provide to rUK.
A spit in the wind for pensioners help
Gordon Mackenzie #FBPE retweeted
When will we ever learn? 2 carbon capture programmes going ahead in England. £21 billion. Acorn in Scotland get promised £200 million. Now withdrawn. London will get £2.9 billion in revenues from Jackdaw. What do we suckers in Jockland get.Noise and deindustrialisation.
Learn.

15 Megaprojects kicking off in UK, each one costing £billions. From Barrow in Furness, Submarines, Derby, small Nuclear Reactors, London, Lower Thames Crossing, HS2, Cross Penine Railway, all one thing in common, Scotland excluded except for putting it on our Credit Card at 8.6%.

After scaremongering about Scotland, now this week we find out the UK has NOT paid £3 trillion worth of bills. 😃🙄
Nigel Farage asks how independent Scotland will pay the bills then closes the interview when @AngusMacNeilSNP points out the UK hasn’t paid its bills since 1945.
Gordon Mackenzie #FBPE retweeted
🗣️ Westminster has finally admitted that Scotland should have had an oil fund worth at least £1 trillion. Scotland’s vast energy wealth has been squandered. Scotland must not lose out again. Every penny of energy wealth from Scotland’s waters must be reinvested into Scotland!

Surprise, Surprise, Westminster allocate £7million to explore possibility of bringing the Olympics to the North, ( of England ) hoping we forget that they gave nothing to Glasgow for the Commonwealth Games. They don’t even try to hide their disdain for Scotland, thank you SNP.
