Food for thought... It may be too slow for many but the march towards independence is inexorable.

Food for thought... We should avoid the copying of unionist neoliberalism when arguing for Scottish independence. Whether we agree with that viewpoint or not, this article does warn of the smokescreen tactics that could be employed by unionists. Anything to spread confusion...

Will they end the denial? Hmmm...

The Israeli action in Gaza - which is not genocide according to the Labour WM Government - looks incredibly like genocide to just about everyone else... 🤷🏼‍♂️

A timely reminder of the importance of next year's Holyrood election. It is astonishing - and depressing - that so many Scottish people fail to recognise the danger to our democracy posed by Reform.

How England's media annoys Scots. Spoiler: no surprises - we already know!

It is a little sad that we still have a need for groups like Engender to push for equality. The evidence that things have been going backwards is depressing. Scotland should be in the vanguard of this movement. Independence would let us tackle the problem with no interference from Westminster.

To be borne in mind when reading about sewage in 'UK' waters...

The Daily Telegraph distorting the truth about Scotland. I am shocked ... 🙄

How our esteemed MSM reports on (largely positive) Scottish school exam results compared with the reporting on (quite positive) school results elsewhere in the UK. Summary: Scottish Government criticised on the front page of newspapers; no front page reporting elsewhere. WM propaganda in full swing.

Apparently the Debate Night BBC programme, shown on the eve of the Hamilton by-election did not breach impartiality guidelines despite having two Labour representatives on the panel. The assertion is made by the BBC itself. That reassures me so much... Nothing to do with the by-election they say. 🤣

No sense of irony from the Guardian over its article on Nicola Sturgeon. Plenty of British nationalism on display from WM, constantly, but we have the wrong kind of nationalism in Scotland, apparently. Just like we had the wrong kind of refinery...

Jackie Baillie doing what Jackie Baillie does. No need for integrity under Scottish Labour 'rules', apparently.

Read what the MSM don't want us to know and help those injured in Gaza whilst doing it!

Perhaps Hartley-Brewer could travel to Gaza so that she can confirm all of these 'photo shoots' of starving children are propaganda...

"It's the natural order of things", WM may say. There is a better way for Scotland...

They have previous...

Cole-Hamilton all in a 'spin'.

Democracy in action? WM also blocked Stephen Flynn's WASPI bill. Yet they continue to support Israeli 'actions' in Gaza. Must be hard for decent people to have any pride in the UK.

The debunking of yet another ’ferry tale’.

A valid question... And I seem to recall Sunak wanting to paint indy supporters with the same brush.

A thought provoking article on privacy in this modern age. The dangers of a Cambridge Analytics or, perhaps, a Palantir can be understood when we uncover their motivations. Just because it is a difficult fight is not a reason to stop fighting for basic human rights.

Well, I can't say that I am surprised by these findings. A sad reflection on the UK MSM in these dangerous times.

A thought provoking look at the rise of Scotland's green energy. It looks like there will be much more to come from Scottish Beacon on this topic. Certainly worth a follow.

The rise of the extreme right should be a worry for us all. Weegingerdug's blog provides food for thought regarding the difference that being an independent Scotland would make.

Should this TNT show go ahead, we will be watching with great interest...

1/2 ASI are organising on Discord & currently have 5 live projects. 30+ members on the Artists Discord server - also includes a couple of techs and social media influencers. The goal is to get more artists from all over Scotland networking & collaborating with others via the Artists Discord server.

Refreshing to see a potential party leader in England recognising why Scotland may wish to be independent. With Reform on the rise, Mr Polanski said, "I think if you are on the right-wing of politics, you only ever need to tell a powerful story. It doesn’t need to be based in facts." A GE warning.

An excellent article by Mike Small which I am sure will resonate with many.

Interesting to note that, despite 42 Labour MPs rebelling against the government's direction of travel, only one MP from Scotland was involved.
