sums it up, the case for indy still needs to be made, somehow we need to get beyond the SNP's incremental model of an iScotland, but no one even seems to be bothered to construct an argument FOR the Union

Now 34 years. I will continue to post the story of Giovanni Falcone because even if just one person who didn't know it reads it, learns about this extraordinary man, and maybe shares it with others, the world will be a slightly better place.

Just to be clear how little Iâm exaggerating, in 2016, the UK Government actually advised trans people against travelling to certain US states due to the implementation of bathroom bans.
@bphillipsonmp.bsky.social
is now implementing those same bans across the UK.

With the exception of H&I which is still to be declared, IGV are now sitting on an implausible 19,137, which is 6% of the Greens list vote. Entirely possible that the Greens have missed out on an MSP because of this.

this, and the energy charging system imposed by the UK Govt, is the primary driver for why we need independence. Its feasible the landlords would capture an iScotland govt but we'd get the chance to ensure it was discussed. think it'll be a while before the Starmer bunch take up this issue?

Sheâs quite simply arguing for the destruction of the social safety net. We pay collectively for a better fairer society. If we only pay for what we get, we all end up with nothing.
