Since 1945, it is instructive to remember, the UK Government has only paid back about 1.7% of the debt accrued.
Nigel Farage asks how independent Scotland will pay the bills then closes the interview when @AngusMacNeilSNP points out the UK hasn’t paid its bills since 1945.

Is this something independence might achieve I wonder ...
The @ScotParl has just voted for the call to transfer broadcasting powers to Scotland.
We need a thriving national broadcaster that can be fully supported to represent our country, and it's time for the powers to be devolved to a Parliament that actually cares about it.

Would independence include powers over public sector broadcasting??
Hmmm I wonder...
Maybe independence could help the devolutionists of the SNP.
Just a thought.

NEW: Culture Secretary Mairi McAllan is set to ask MSPs to back plans for public service broadcasting powers to be devolved to Scotland, 'while there is still anything left to devolve' 📺

If only the SNP leadership could think of a policy that might achieve that....maybe they could call a Defacto Referendum on the issue ....

If only there was a solution the SNP could think of, and act on, for Scotland to get control over these matters. ...🤔
Watch as Mairi McAllan lays out the BBC’s ‘sorry chronology of seven years of disinvestment’
The Culture Secretary said it showed a ‘disregard for the BBC’s obligations to Scottish audiences’

How TF is this still happening?!
10 years on from that bloody Brexit vote, and a senior Reform leader thinks we can go and do our own trade deals with EU countries! 🤯🤯🤯
We can't.
We never could.
Trade with any of them = a deal with all 27
…and this lot want to run the country.

Kjós and Laxá in Iceland just beside eachother.
Like Ceos & Laxay in Lochs Isle of Lewis are beside eachother.
(Pronounced must the same way)

Until October 2025, Iceland was one of only two places on Earth with no mosquitoes. The other is Antarctica.
BUT, a chap in Kjós (near Reykjavík) hung out ropes soaked in sugary red wine to attract moths (don’t ask me why) and caught three mosquitoes instead.

One month has passed since the SNP leadership pledged to launch the largest independence campaign since 2014, yet this campaign remains unseen. It seems we will need to take the lead and create the campaign we all hope to see.
Join us and help build that campaign.

The government is shutting down the entire landline telephone system that could operate during a power cut in Jan 2027….
at the same time the government is preparing for national blackouts, cyberattacks and prolonged communications failures.
Staggering incompetence! & if it isn’ster ‼️

Plenty of us have changed our minds about Israel. Many Jews have too (see below). We either learn from experience, or we repeat past errors. #NeverAgain

Three in five American Jews believe that Jewish organizations are exploiting fears of antisemitism in order to defend unpopular Israeli policies.
You can’t say it loud enough: these people do not speak for us.

EU taking control of it's borders - can be annoying indeed.
I was nearly not allowed to board a flight today to a European capital because my passport has an EXPIRY date of 06/27 - 7 months' hence.
Apparently there's a new rule that you can't enter Schengen countries more than ten years after the ISSUE date of your passport.
Er why?Community noteThe requirement for UK passports to have been issued less than 10 years before entry to Schengen countries has applied since January 2021 following Brexit. It is not a new rule.

But let no one demand the SNP hierarchy do anything about independence . .. 🙄🙈
The SNP have demanded that the UK Government make an emergency plan to help households 'suffocating under the weight of soaring bills' through the cost of living crisis this winter
