Yeah, you say UK. But this is definitely an English thing. Scotland has the SNP & Scottish Greens. Farages hate, xenophobia & just racist rhetoric aren't gaining traction here. Westminster & England again demonstrating the huge differences between countries and why most of us want independence
Reform is getting 15-20% support in Scottish opinion polls so it’s even got some traction amongst the enlightened Scots
😂 you mean the same uneducated racist xenophobic bigots that support the union & voted for Brexit. The wonderful thing is soooo many of these people are older. Nature will run its course, and the country will be a better place for it. The fact you idiots are willing to believe a man who...
... lied through his teeth & convinced you the shitshow that was brexit was a good idea is just laughable. Add to that the fact that "it's about protecting women and children" when the reality is 40%+ of those bigots outside of asylum hotels have been charged with domestic abuse (so for abusing...
... women & children) the other 60% cover for them. Then there is the fact that your dear leader, Farage, is besties with Trump. Trump, who's own DOJ & and FBI, acknowledge is all over the Epstein files. Epstein, who was a known paedo & sex trafficker & was Trump's bestie for 15 years (hell half..
... Trump’s cabinet has strong ties to Epstein. But I digress. Your dear leader has been prasing Trump for his deportation efforts & how he's running the US. So that means he's praising the use of unidentified masked men to disappear people (including US citizens), praising the use of...
... literal concentration camps, praising the military on the streets, checking peoples papers. Now, as someone who's spent her adult life studying history & law, I'm seeing more than a few red flags here. Trump has turned the US into a Christo Fascist police state & your dear leader supports...
... this. Then there's the fact dear leader wants to remove us from the ECHR, The UN convention on Torture, and the UN convention on Refugees. Anyone capable of critical thinking will realise that the reason they want to remove us from the above is so they can violate our rights...
... Then there's funding. Do you know where much of Farages funding comes from? Have you ever wondered why these far-right bigots are suddenly more organised? That would be the £ & influence of the US evangelical Christian hate groups ADF & Heritage Foundation. They're responsible for Project...
... 2025 & Trump 2.0. They are pumping money into politics, media, social media & hate groups in the UK. Look it up. I suggest you put down the daily mail and turn off GB"News" They're lying to you, just like Farage. He's relying in you all being uneducated fucking idiots and you're...
... all living up to that.
No, it’s got traction amongst the same old Unionist bigoted racist arseholes that were always here . Happy to help .
Of course it has. But that's basically Tory voters. Have you looked at how few of those exist in Scotland?
It really isn’t . The Labour Party is Unionist and historically has many of the type I mention . Scotland is 55% a Unionist country and many of those are racist bigots .
Yeah, I don't know when or where those stats are from, but right now, the majority want independence Anywhere from 52%-59%, depending on the poll you look at. Many Scottish Labour voters on seeing Labour in power have moved to wanting independence. They deluded themselves, thinking it'd be...
... OK, when Labour got in. I don't deny there is a clear threat from these bigots, but it's overblown due to the constant media coverage. Helped along by Labour refusing to carry out media reforms & evangelical hate groups from the US.
I support independence , always have always will . But we “need permission” so it’s never happening . Best get used to that . I’ve always said I can tell you the exact day Scotland will be allowed to be free : the day after the oil runs out .
Scotland is not really any better than England wrt trans ppl.
I'm not gonna deny things have gone backwards with regard to trans people in Scotland. However, independence & the ability to pass laws on media reform and politicians' lying would improve the situation. A lot of the hate has been imported by evangelical Christian hate groups from the US that...
... are throwing £ at politicians, media & hate groups. I think an independent Scotland where we keep the ECHR is essential. You know they'll come for trans people & immigrants first, but it won't stop there. Everyone's rights will be violated.
I get the feeling most won't bat an eye when me and my people are fed to the meat grinder and afterwards there'll be surprise for waking up in fascist Britain after offering us up as a sacrifice
I don't think it's that useful to place a lot of the blame on US evangelicals. Ofc theres been lots of funding but the UK has it's own grown hostilities and funding too
We should worry,though. Cons + Labour + Reform currently polling c.50% at the moment, with the latter on an upwards swing. Let's not be complacent.
I'm not complacent.
I'm not saying that you, as an individual, are. The "we" in my post was deliberately chosen.
Scots Nats hate the English, and the catholics hate the Proddies. Sadly, your not immune from it either.
Yeah, that's not correct. We don't hate the English. We just aren't like them and don't want to be. We hate Westminster & the erosion of our rights. As for catholics & "proddies" as you put it. What time period are you living in? Football is the only time that nonsense is ever an issue..
... & it's the same group of 15 people.
Orange matches? Westminster is as much your Parliament as the rUK. And when you say “we just aren’t like them” is evidence for your hateful attitude. That’s why I can’t stand nationalism of any sort.
Yeah, Westminster is England's parliament that works for England. Not Scotland. It's been made ever clearer since Brexit that English people want something very different from Scottish voters. Recognising that does not make us hateful. Also, Scottish nationalism is VERY different from English...
... nationalism. Maybe turn off GB"news" & put down the daily mail.
Yeah, of course your nationalism is different…… 🙄
It's about getting independence. That Scottish nationalism. Not about hating people cos they don't look like us. Which is English nationalism.
You're wrong. Clearly seeing a small minority (sectarian) and assuming it's a Scotland wide issue. It isn't. There's no disputing the fact that citizens of England and Scotland have very different priorities.
Your wrong For the same reasons.
