In 1998 the UK's 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th largest city regions (Greater Manchester, Greater Birmingham, Greater Leeds, Greater Glasgow) have economies of exactly the same strength. By 2024, they have diverged enormously. And to the surprise of so many, it's Glasgow that comes top.

For people remaining committed to the everything-is-shit-in-Glasgow narrative the cognitive dissonance must actually be becoming painful.

Here are the actual exit poll figures (Scottish Referendum Study, Edinburgh University Centre on Constitutional Change). Those born outside the UK voted 42.9% YES. Those from the rest of the UK voted even less – 27.9% YES. Demography is indeed a problem, especially in a constitutional vote. The 2014 vote failed interenational standards on multiple accounts, including the franchise. And it made the difference beween independence an the muscular unionism the British state immediately introduced. Starting next day, in fact, if anyone remembers David Cameron and EVEL.

To my lovely trolls who say I’m not Scottish because of my skin tone. I was born & raised in Scotland, & I still live in the very same Scottish town I was born in.
Scotland is all I’ve ever known, and it’s what I will always defend and stand up for, no matter the situation or

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%.

I don't know how anyone in Scotland watching the budget can honestly think they are better off with the dead weight of england hanging around their necks. If Scotland become independent, energy becomes cheaper and businesses move to Scotland #budget26

Getting our own Scottish currency doesn't need to take forever.
We don't need to be chained to rUK sterling after we choose #ScottishIndependence.
12 of these 15 countries i.e. 75% did it in 10 Months or LESS!

Being a Scot who’s lived & worked around the world as a Financial Analyst within the Oil Sector I’ve always been disgusted by WM’s lies about how poor Scotland would have been if it were Independent.
They have destroyed Scottish citizens children & grandchildren’s fiscal future

Scotland is paying the price for Westminster control.
ALT Comparison graphic showing Norway and Scotland's energy wealth: Norway, labeled as independent, has a £2 trillion wealth fund, while Scotland, labeled as Westminster controlled, has £0.00 in its wealth fund, emphasising that both nations are rich in energy but only one controls its wealth.

Pooling and Sharing...looks like a one way street to me. It’s our wealth & England are helping themselves to it. Too late to reclaim what they’ve already looted, but we can ensure we keep future revenues in Scotland. Independence isn’t really a choice, it’s an economic necessity.

Better Together told Scots oil and gas was running out. Some fell for it and voted no because they thought we were skint.
All lies.
Now the Unionists are all excited about Jackdaw and want to start drilling in Rosebank with no real benefit to Scotland.
You were lied to. And they are still stealing your resources.

Peter, Have you wondered how all of these ideas progressed during the decades Labour governed Wales?
No? Perhaps that's because this initiative is intended to bypass and undermine the Scottish Parliament and Scottish Government because Labour cannot win an election in Scotland.

In Scotland personal care has been free for 24 years. It has not impacted the state pension but taxes are a little higher here for the better paid. Now, Westminster will restrict pension growth in Scotland to help pay for personal care in England.
You Yes yet?

Yep just swap the word ‘Europe’ for ‘Independence’ and she’s made the same case for the right to decide a new future for Scotland.

It’s not in Englands interest for Scotland to do well - yet they control Scotlands economy and infrastructure. It’s not a healthy situation. The things Scotland does better at are hidden by MSM. In contrast, broken promises of the Union are also hidden. #Indyref2

#Scotland is not an empty map. It has the UK’s highest share of renewable electricity, a whisky export measured in billions, water, fisheries, and a scientific inheritance from Watt and Maxwell to Fleming and Dolly.
Independence would not invent a scientific nation.
Let's talk about it... Scotland between a right and a plan.
