While Labour's current leader states that Scotland is a part of a voluntary union but doesn't have the right to decide whether it wants to remain part of that voluntary union. Try and work that one out.
I have equal contempt for ANY politician who breaks their own code of conduct. They get paid enough to get things right, first time. Regardless of advice given rightly or wrongly. Break with the electorate, You should be out on yer ear. And that includes Mathieson.
I'm expecting a cry of outrage from Anas Sarwar in regards Angela Rayner's tax avoidance will be of equal measure to his grievance towards Michael Mathieson's Ipad fiasco where he called for his resignation..................... I won't hold my breath. @scottishlabour.bsky.social
Just a quick word from Labour's founder member. @uklabourparty.bsky.social @scottishlabour.bsky.social
GB Energy is a SCAM. ❌ It won't reduce your bills. ❌ It won't generate jobs in Scotland. 🥀 With Labour, Scotland always loses. Well, Of course it's a scam, Anything with 'GB' in it is designed to scam Scotland out of what it has.
This sums up everything that is wrong in the UK with the establishment elite. And we have not one politician in the country who is willing to get this changed. They feed you lies & disinformation, They champion the narrative of the far right & their profits are kept overseas.
I concede that even one is too many. But we also have to look at how drug deaths are recorded. Did you know that if you take pills for a heart condition & have a heart attack whilst driving, It is not recorded as a driving incident, But as a drug death!!!
Think before engaging any grey matter towards those less fortunate than yourselves.
Asylum hotels have been in the news a lot lately. Some politicians are using lies & misconceptions to stir up fear and division in our communities. But what is the truth behind the headlines? Scroll through the pictures to find out more. We all deserve to be safe & to feel like we belong.
Indeed, It's like if our government found the cure for cancer, They would be accused of the demise of funeral services. Always on a hiding to nothing.
The biggest threat to attaining a happy society is capitalism. Yet those who have less than the elite who benefit from it & fail to pass it on, Will inevitably blame those who inturn have less than them. But hey, Let's all gather & shout at the brown people over there & ask how they got here.
I see STVNews have adopted the tried & tested approach to news reporting that the BBC in Scotland use to great effect of being able to put a negative spin on the ongoing drug death rates. Even when the rates are falling they still label us 'The sick man of Europe'. news.stv.tv/scotland/sco...
Because the right wing media make all the news to be about him.
At a loose end this weekend? Mates all busy with healthy family pursuits? No one to go visit at the zoo? Then why not go shout at a hotel? Yes gather with other idiots to shout about the people in it. You will all have the same flags & you can express your hatred for those less fortunate in life.
Seeking asylum is legal & accepting & helping people who have fled from despotic regimes is a mark of a civilised country. Immigration policy is unfortunately reserved to the UK government but if we were independent then Scotland would no doubt help a lot more people to emigrate here or seek asylum.
The late Iain Banks remarks have never been more relevant. Asylum seekers actually get a pittance from the state and they haven't caused any political problems. Immigration is a good and positive thing and it has helped build Scotland into the modern tolerant and free country it is today.
Symantec's.
I fail to understand as to why the UKGov don't 'trial' it in Scotland. After all they have used us as a guinea pig in the past, So why not allow us to do this? I'll answer the question for you, If employment was deployed to Scotland it would (under Westminster rules) would require the section 30.😅

Worth re-sharing... the answer is that the first one helps them hijack power from an under-informed public the most easily.
On Friday, 29 August 2025, anti-refugee campaigners suffered a key legal defeat. The government won its appeal to prevent the eviction of asylum seekers from a hotel in southern England. Ministers hailed the ruling as “common sense.” by Adnan Hmidan Read: www.middleeastmonitor.com/20250831-who...
Here's a fair & honest policy.
Who would'nt want to see this? #AreYouYesYet #DissolveTheUnion #CelticNationsUnite
An honest assessment of how the far right have stolen the English identity & are now claiming it in the name of decency & righteous action towards migrants & refugees. St George (A Palestinian) who never once set foot in England would revel in the irony. www.thelondoneconomic.com/opinion/the-...
Kids these days don't know what this picture depicts. I Identify with this all too well as my Father worked on the asphalt during the 70s. I remember the lean times with no work during the Thatcher era, The alcohol abuse & the gambling because of the unemployment. Thankfully, he did turn it around.
Scotland you need to wake the fuck up!!!
Humanity can not be allowed to be sacrificed. To truth and reality and the pure evil that is Israel & its colluders including so many if its citizens now exposed too. T H A N K ❤ Y O U ! The most grandiose & glorious mission in the history of the world! T H A N K ❤ Y O U ! #SolidarityWithPalestine
I would'nt piss in one of Tim Martin's pubs, Let alone drink in one. This is just an excuse to marginalise Scottish people. www.thenational.scot/news/2542947...
Today marks 28 years since the Royal family colluded with MI5 in the murder of Princess Diana, the only member of the royal household I had any time for. Now just look at how that same family have fucked up the lives of her children without her influence. RIP Diana #AbolishTheMonarchy
I understand that all too well. However I was talking about recent history, Ever since the reconvening of our own parliament we have made great strides to eradicate the far right rhetoric of unionism which yes, As you point out treated our Irish brothers & sisters as second class citizens.
There is a worrying trend with these clowns who wish to demonise the refugees & asylum seekers that we house in our hotels in Scotland. I had hoped this was only an English thing as Scotland has always been an inclusive & welcoming country. But now it has grown arms & legs because of the far right.
They were all sustainable long before the onslaught of private enterprise that brought us the 'Gig economy' and the lessening of freedom of movement. What Westminster has done really well is to carry on Thatcher's legacy of capitalism against public ownership where profit stays with the elite.
Not just Tory Ministers, The current chat from ALL politicians who represent the unionist parties will demonise anyone but their own. Scotland has no wish to be part of this insular approach to political discourse as we wish to be a modern, progressive country that welcomes migration & equality.
Yeah, But it is a shite system regardless. No democracy whatsoever. If a party is mired in sex scandals or money irregularities, You would mibby want to vote for one that is'nt.
Great idea, But take note of the system we have here in Scotland. An MSP who is voted in 'On the list' & does the right thing & steps down, They are automatically replaced with the next person on the party list. No by-election. Fucking crazy rule. @etkwebster.bsky.social @mediate4u.bsky.social
A polite notice to all you right wing gammons. And a cautionary note to those in No10. @uklabourparty.bsky.social But here to save you all the hassle, Just allow Scotland to become Independent & we can solve all these issues for ourselves. #AreYouYesYet #WhyNotScotland #DissolveTheUnion
It's meant to be informative.
Reposting this from my friends @allunderonebanner.bsky.social which highlights the zombiefication of England as directed by Nigel Farage & his cohort of flag shaggers who wish to sow the seeds of division & hatred. Scotland rejects any form of this type of fascist nationalism. #AreYouYesYet
IF YOU'RE THINKING REFORM IS THE ANSWER - FIRST - WHAT IS THE BLOODY QUESTION!? SECOND - WHICH ONE ON THE LIST BELOW ARE YOU HOPING TO LOSE?
So true, I had to post it twice
I never watch it, So I could'nt tell you. But It will be a night where I pick my pubic hair out one by one.😅
Jeezus Wept. The system we have in Scotland which elects people on a 'List vote' (ie apportioned to a party) should bar him from taking a seat in Holyrood. www.thenational.scot/news/2541958...
Farage has honed in to what divided the country back in the 70s & 80s. And has now re-invented the fantastical fuckwits from that era. Fred Perry Tshirts & Doc Martin boots, Skinheads & braces. This is the England of that era, This is where he finds natural support. @lbc.co.uk #RiversOfBlood
You cannot make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. BNP, EDF Reform UK, Brexit party, National front alike, All of them represent the ugly face of British nationalism. This is where Farage hold his stock in, This is where he gathers his momentum from. Their collective grievance.... REFUGEES/MIGRATION
Whatever. I knew where I was heading for. Asda at Switch Island petrol was only £1.30 a litre.
The electorate need to know exactly what @reformuk.bsky.social @reformukscotland.bsky.social stand for.
Who would have thought that after all the @snp.org efforts to gain Independence for Scotland, It will be Nigel Farage's efforts that will get us there.
All Hypocrites and Kleptocractics. Can we all not see that it is the elite who are killing any chance of fairness & decency on this Island?
Scotland rejects fascism.
Being an LFC supporter, I stopped off at the Asda at Switch Island (M56) to make my toilet/Lunch break & also to fill up my tank as I refuse to pay motorway services prices for petrol & sustenance.
The more compassionate side of Israel.
And it should'nt have any rights in Scotland either. But we allow it because of our ineptitude to stand together for our country's democratic process for our own Independence & our own self governance.
But they should be patriotic about their country, Just as we should have the right to be patriotic about ours. Thing is though to them being anything other than being patriotic about England & Britain (this is where it gets confusing) should be treated as a criminal offence.

It was the legend Bill Shankly who once said '' 'To you football is a matter of life or death!' and I said 'Listen, it's more important than that'. So why does'nt UEFA do anything about the Israeli national team & the teams that participate within the Israeli leagues?
On a recent drive from Glasgow to Bristol M74 -M6 - M56 -M5 I noticed a shed load of union flags as well as St George's flags. Personally, I welcome their patronism, But why is mine so toxic to them? #WhyNotScotland #AreYouYesYet www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
My Mother is dead you unsensitive bastard.
Go fuck yourself & Netenyahu too.
Britian has always meddled in other country's affairs, It can't help it. Even today they see themselves as the real power brokers, But in reality they are nothing short of being complict in allowing yet another famine & the continuation of a genocide of the Palestinian people. #PalestineSolodarity
This has aged well. Just how many carrots can one nation eat? @snp.org
What good is it to look at maps from a hundred years ago? I have already conceded that fascism surrounds us on every border these days & it is indicative in every society. The vast majority of Scotland rejects this narrative & wishes no part in insular politics from the far right.
We have been a source of merriment & mirth for the English parliament ever since it's inception. They allowed us to join in order to be publically ridiculed, To be slapped down at every turn. And to be made grateful for their small packages of so called 'Benevolence' for being locked into the union
Now they have arrested Jonathan Porritt! A one time advisor to King Lug Ears. This gang of liars at Downing Street are making a fool of the law & are using the police force as their puppets. They are complicit in Genocide. They must be voted out as soon ASAP. #NeverStopSpeakingAboutPalestine
I want to place on record my highest admiration for @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social Having witnessed the vile witch hunt perpetrated by the establishment & by the hands of his own party which saw him ousted from mainstream politics back in the day. But his latest venture will not benefit Scotland.
I will take my country's freedom at any cost. Ireland put up with it for years & still do. Fascism lies in every country & at every border these days sadly.
Membership of each political party in Scotland: SNP: 58,940 Red Tories: 16,467 Blue Tories: 6,941 Orange Tories: 4,185 Green Party: 7,646 Alba Party: 5,002 Still does'nt further the case for Indy mind you.
British nationalism = Good Any other nationalism = Bad
I so want this to be true. And if @reformuk.bsky.social @reformukscotland.bsky.social want a hand in campaigning to help this happen, They have got my support.
I’m old enough to remember when Scottish areas always, always topped the poverty charts. This (from JRF) shows the positive change that different political decision making can have when the policy priority is not predominantly to make the rich richer. #AreYouYesYet #WhyNotScotland #AbolishTheUnion
This country is so fucked up!
Paint it on your roundabouts, fly it from your lamp posts, stretch it across your bulging belly on a slightly tight simmit, wave it in the street, drape it from your window and fashion it into a flattering sarong or a superhero cape. #flags #stgeorge #palestine #Gaza
Commiserations to my old socialist pal David Tam McDonald who was standing in East Ren by-election for Barrhead, Liboside & Uplawmoor. How anyone could vote Labour in is beyond e given their current management of national governent. But what is worrying is that UK Reform hovered up 1,000 + votes.
Yes, It will be opened for a trial, But there is no way & I mean no way can it be excused for having pornographic imagery on your own person computer involving children. Consenting adults, yes if that is your gig. But never children. Beastuality is beastuality. Plain as.
This conscript of four so called 'equal nations' will not succeed until all 4 nations are broken up from the union. After that we could still be referred to as the United Kingdom for trading & Identity purposes only. #UnitedIreland #FreeScotland #IndependentWales #AreYouYesYet
I'm not a lover of that expression, As some Cnunts are lovely & useful. 🤣
So they say. But when the evidence so far is overwhelmingly conclusive, A beast is a beast. Plain & simple. If you have kiddie porn on your computer, You are a beast, Simples.
Once Israel moves forward with the E1 "settlement project," the West Bank will be cut into two disconnected zones — North & South — with the "Ma’ale Adumim settlement" (blue) acting as a wedge between Palestinian areas (green). So basically it is 'Partition' by any other standards. #Palestine
Can we remember that in most council areas in Scotland money has to be allocated for this white elephant which was introduced by the Labour party in Scotland. And with thanks to @snp.org All hospital car parking is free. Which is NOT the case in England & Wales. #AreYouYesYet #WhyNotScotland #PFI
Kiddie porn!!! He should be stung up by his testicles the beast. No excuses. @scottishlabour.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Shocking statement
I was in Bristol at the weekend & the rents down there are astronomical. A shed load of HMO's & rooms to rent at stupid prices. Even the hotel prices are ridiculous.
Unfortunately Farage has weaponised this & made out it's all down to immigrants. Farage is also on record as supporting Thatcher, who introduced the buying of council homes without replacing them. Make your choice. Add on the introduction of Air B&B, And there you have it. The elite have caused it.
BEAST!!! @scottishlabour.bsky.social www.thenational.scot/news/2540528...
The mantra of the unionist press in Scotland is to frighten the electorate shiteless & run our country down so that folk are conditioned to believe that we really are too wee, too poor & too stupid to run our own affairs without the benevolence of the Westminster elite. #AreYouYesYet #UnionistMedia
Sometimes, It is wise to curb your enthusiasms, because this tweet did not age very well.🤣🤣🤣
In Scotland we already nationalised our railways, Pity because of his ineptitude we no longer have any steelworks or a feckin oil refinery to nationalise. But then again that was Thatcher's plan all along, And he is just carrying on her work.
Reposted with solidarity my brother.
It has been said that "Thatcher did more damage to Britain than the Luftwaffe. Veneration of her memory is not compulsory." Personally, I think that Starmer is trying to emulate those heady heights.
I was'nt there, I attended the Glasgow demo. But there was chat about them coming up from England in busses. Again, I don't know.
Done
A woman was arrested in Glasgow today for wearing a T-shirt that said "Palestine - time for action" under terrorism legislation. Meanwhile this guy was allowed to stand outside an Asylum Seekers hostel today in Falkirk. Who's terrorising who? 🤔🤔🤔 Source @yesscotlandsfuture.bsky.social

If there was one thing that we could call 'A plus' from the current troubles in Palestine and Israel it has got to be this.👇👇👇
