Averse to any form of bullying, hence pro independence campaigner. The Republic of Scotland sounds good to me. Socialism is the key. Celtic !

The last from @rantinrobin. My brother died on 30.12.23. He was a socialist, supporter of freedom & self-determination for #Scotland, #Palestine & #Catalunya. A Fifer who supported @CelticFC. He hated bullying & injustice. Much missed. As come it will for a' that. @ampherlaw1

"Margaret Thatcher sought to drag Britain out of its stupor by setting loose our natural entrepreneurialism" Said not a tory, but Keir Starmer. No Keir, she ripped the guts out of Scotland, destroyed our working communities, used us as guinea pigs for the Poll Tax. Jesus Christ!

I am deeply proud of Scotland. Our citizens who handle adversity with humour, embracing just causes. The talents of so many which go unnoticed. Would that we had a broadcasting media which reflects who we are, and what we stand for.

Despite gender, bottles, tents on the lawn, and pads read by bairns, we are at 54%. C'mon SNP, be a band of John Macleans, fight our cause with conviction. Eat, drink and sleep independence. We do!

Dear SNP, we are at 54 % in latest poll. We are screaming out loud for leadership, a hard line against Unionist drivel. They are holding us back, blocking us. We have been pissed on for too long. Go get them, fight!

Greece has lost her marbles. The British Govt., a shithole, I am using parliamentary language there, slavishly cling onto them in a manner which is boorish, uninformed and crass. Marks for consistency then.

Replying to @billykayscot
Robert Burns hated the Union. When the French Revolution turned violent, British elites took fright. Burns and other sympathisers were in danger of prison or worse for having admired its ideals. He tacked in the circumstances and penned a few “loyal” lines to deflect the threat.

I had the misfortune of watching BBC Reporting Scotland. Christ, the back page of the Dundee Courier has more political analysis.

It is little wonder that many BBC journalists are incensed as to the editorial output over Gaza. It's insipid and without due analysis or appreciation of the history of the conflict. It is also measured not to offend the Likud apartheid regime.

Unionist thinking. 'Scottish accents are ugly'. 'Know your betters' 'Scotland can't run anything' They always miss something out. Our 'betters' have blocked us, and the reason is, our resources. They can't stand the thought that we, independently, could do things better!

I watched the video of him bullying a Muslim. It was chilling, venomous and deeply dangerous. There are many like him. Scum.

Likud wish the expulsion of 2 million Palestinians from their homeland to destinations worldwide. US & EU will broker the deal, landgrab and access to Gazan oil fields achieved, and it is viewed as a sad chapter in history. The horror narrative!

indeed!
One thing this Israeli genocide has done is to make plain to the rest of the world that Western governments are steeped in the darkest depths of depravity and inhumanity. Wealth trumps all.
