What kind of a political ‘leader’ visits another country without informing the elected FM of that country, and then adds insult to injury by refusing to meet said elected FM when a courteous invitation is issued? Looking at you

why are you selling raspberries in your Dundee store that come from Gloucestershire, when the best berries in the world are grown in Angus and Perthshire? Not to mention the carbon footprint.

I am pretty sure that the country which gave the world penicillin, anaesthetics, antiseptic, beta blockers, aspirin, and keyhole surgery among other medical contributions, would be more than capable of running a successful vaccine rollout on its own!
Why on earth are

I live in Scotland which produces the best beef in the world, and which I can buy fresh from my local butcher from local farms. Why on Earth

Eight years ago today. Scotland held a referendum. All the dreadful things we were warned would happen if we voted YES have happened in this Strong and Stable Union. Out of the EU; tanking pound; Food shortages; etc, etc. We won’t be fooled next time.
England voted Tory. Scotland didn’t. England voted for Brexit. Scotland didn’t. But we get them imposed on us all the same. Aye, the benefits of The Union. How blessed are we?
Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak lose all COVID What’s App messages. Media silence. Nicola Sturgeon doesn’t lose What’s App messages. Media gets attack of the vapours and goes into lying, hysterical overdrive. How I detest them.

I am not a ‘TV licence dodger’. I legitimately refuse to pay a licence to an organisation that bends the truth, allows politicians platforms to lie, and actively works against what is best for my country. Hope that’s cleared that up.
Remember when

In Dundee, the (very few) Orange Order marches had to be held at 8am on a Sunday morning. As a result, no-one turned out to watch them, and we haven’t had any for years now.
In Norway ( which discovered oil at roughly the same time as Scotland), minimum state pension is £376 per week. In Scotland, Westminster awards us £156 per week. Don’t you dare tell me we are Better Together.

I am happy to pay fair tax to fund the NHS and other services; to ensure that poor children can afford to get the bus to school on a full stomach; that the elderly can put on their heating, and the rich pay their way. I am beyond disgusted at this budget.

Going out on a limb here. I think The FM should dissolve Holyrood right now and fight an election on independence. That way, we get the 16-18 year olds and the EU citizens’ votes, and there will be no need for ID cards. Win win.
Let me get this straight. Two of the world’s leading economists rubbish the GERS figures, and assert that Scotland should be independent, while a tv ‘personality’

My goodness. I write a tweet praising Scottish Universities and the Unionists have gone into frothing overload. They cannot bear to hear anything good about Scotland, and they are to be pitied more than derided.

the ‘nation’ did not sing ‘We’ll meet again’ and have drunken, illegal street parties. In the majority of Scotland, we respectfully and quietly remembered and honoured the dead, and gave heartfelt thanks for the long lasting peace between European nations.
If Scotland, with oil, gas, whisky, electricity, renewables, technology, a vibrant gaming industry, world class seafood, soft fruits, top class beef, pork and lamb, gin, world class universities and a thriving tourism sector can’t afford to become independent, what country can???
@AndrewBowie_MP
‘Get used to it’. And those four words sum up Unionist arrogance. We will not ‘get used to it’. We will vote to send it packing, and the sooner the better.

Yesterday, 4 teenage girls passed me as I waited for a bus. This was what I heard “No, that’s Brexit. Which will be so bad for Scotland. It’s why we need a 2nd Indyref. England decides what’s happening and that is undemocratic.” My heart soared.
Tonight, on phones (a device invented by a Scot), millions of people around the world will sing Auld Lang Syne (a song written by a Scot) having been vaccinated by a hypodermic needle ( invented by a Scot) . Or, they will watch telly (you’ve guessed it!).

Kezia Dugdale was once leader of the Scottish Labour Party, and was a staunch defender of The Union. Her Damascene conversion would be headline news and receive wall to wall coverage in countries which had a balanced, open, impartial media.
I am now blocking/muting all those ‘independence’ supporters tweeting that they want the FM to stand down before the election. They are no independence supporters.
Watching the EU coming together to support Ukraine at today’s session of the EU Parliament makes me want to weep that Scotland is not with them as an independent nation.

I am starting a campaign to set England free from the burden of ‘subsidising’ the Scots. As you feel so strongly about this issue, you will want to throw your weight behind ‘Independence for England’ Each nation to raise and spend their own revenue. Seems fair
I suspect that many foreign correspondents arrived in Glasgow to cover COP26 wondering why Scotland would ever want to leave The Union. I also suspect that these same people will leave Glasgow wondering why Scotland would ever want to stay in The Union.
Scotland needs more people to come into the country to grow our economy. Yesterday, a government in a neighbouring country just made that impossible to happen. Don’t you dare tell me we are ‘Better Together’.
Now we have a bill being rushed through Westminster effectively banning all peaceful protests, satirical programmes being banned on tv, devolution being dismantled, and Brexit an unmitigated social and economic disaster. Remind me, what are the upsides of The ‘precious’ Union?
Her name is Nicola Sturgeon
@lisanandy
. And she is First Minister of Scotland, the place Labour have lost. Possibly for ever. Cannot for the life of me think why.
A few days ago, a Westminster government minister claimed on telly that the UK’s two biggest exports were whisky and salmon. Good to know that when England become independent they will have those to fall back on.
