My latest blog piece, the ยฃ1 trillion cost of the Union to Scotland is revealed as Westminster embarks on a second theft of Scotland's natural wealth. Only independence can ensure Scotlandโ€™s vast energy wealth is used to benefit the people of Scotland. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/10/23/t...

Pooling and Sharing...looks like a one way street to me. Itโ€™s our wealth & England are helping themselves to it. Too late to reclaim what theyโ€™ve already looted, but we can ensure we keep future revenues in Scotland. Independence isnโ€™t really a choice, itโ€™s an economic necessity.๐Ÿ‘‡

London does it, Manchester does it, Liverpool does it. Wales and the West Midlands are about to do it. So why is it only in Scotland that the media loses its mind over plans to bring buses into public control? Answer: because itโ€™s an SNP policy and the Scottish media has lost all sense of balance

heraldscotland.comHysteria over John Swinneyโ€™s bus plans has exposed something rotten about ScotlandThe nonsense spouted over the SNP's bus policy provides a glimpse into how badly politicians communicate as well as the failings of the Scottish media, our Writer at Large Neil Mackay argues

I'm against drilling for fossil fuels but isn't it odd* the BBC and Sky aren't mentioning in their reports about drilling in the Jackdaw gas field being approved that they told Scots loudly and repeatedly in 2014 that all the oil and gas would be gone within 5 years. *entirely predictable

Scotland has been poorly served by the BBC for many years. The corporation has long since abandoned any pretence of balance or impartiality in its Scottish coverage. The decision to close down the BBC Scotland channel makes a bad situation even worse. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/10/21/t...

This is the thin menu the UK monarchy can offer up over 70 years of the reign of Queen Elizabeth in relation to Scotland. Kind of makes the argument: what is the point of this ridiculous, expensive, feudal enterprise?

If you're advocating dismantling the triple lock on British state pensions rather than greater taxation on the super-rich or rejoining the EU then you I'm afraid are part of the problem in this country no matter how liberal you might pretend to be. You're just another cosy middle-class useful idiot.
