Think for myself. I get more left wing as I get older. Always independence. Don't suffer fools gladly. Retired nurse ( RMN). No DMs unless I give consent and automatic block if you do it anyway. Block for anyone who asks for money. This is not the place.

This is Lord Rothermere the owner of the Daily Mail. He lives in a massive mansion in the English countryside, but he pays no tax here because he identifies as French. While the Daily Mail is registered in Bermuda and pays no tax anywhere. That is his ‘Patriotism’.

No to both votes SNP. The SNP are polling for zero list seats. What use is that to the movement? You get more pro-indy MSPs by voting as follows: #SNP1SGP2 or #SNP1Greens2 NOT #BothVotesSNP All regions. FPTP Proviso: If the Scot Greens are polling to win, vote SGP1.

SNP projected to win majority of constituencies and zero List seats Don't waste your list vote: SNP both votes grants Yoonies free list seats. Vote SNP 1 and SGP 2 for an Indy majority and to keep Deform UK off the List. Vote sensibly not loyally 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

It's beyond irony that SNP still push both votes knowing they will get zero List seats due to the D'Hondt formula For an Indy majority and to keep Deform UK off the List, vote SNP 1 and Scottish Greens 2. 70% Indy majority in Holyrood is internationally significant at UN decolonisation process

For 20 years the Scottish Newspapers and Broadcasters output has operated under the premise and prime directive. 'Defend the Union by undermining the Scottish independence movement' namely by making the SNP unelectable. 1/

Spanish PM a leader with a backbone. That can be said about the Italian PM and french PM sadly that can’t be said for British PM Kier Starmer he supports Israel with many of his cabinet ministers. Starmer has allowed US planes into bases on their way to bomb Iran.

This is similar to the Sycamore Tree Gap incident. Beside the cultural vandalism, is a rabid entitlement to destroy the prides and joys of others. Look at the beauty Glasgow lost to the ugliest amongst us.

Bernie Sanders just said the quiet part out loud: "A lot of US Middle East policy is dictated by Israel. It was Israel who decided they wanted to go to war." He exposes how Netanyahu has manipulated America into wars for 40 years, from Iraq to Iran. 🎯💯🎯💯🎯💯🎯💯🎯💯🎯💯🎯💯🎯💯🎯💯

“When someone shows you who they are, believe them” Labour have shown clearly that they will happily undermine devolution and put party before country. Plaid Cymru is answerable only to the people of Wales, and the only party that will listen and make Wales our priority.

Dream scenario. You can only get this with a #TwoPartyStrategy 👇 bsky.app/profile/radi...

Radio Jammor@radiojammor.bsky.social

Below we have the dream scenario. If all SNP & SGP voted #SNP1SGP2, we could get 93 pro-indy seats, a whopping 57 seat supermajority. In 2011, the SNP got 16 list MSPs. In 2021, two. Their vote is down by a QUARTER since 2021. They can't improve on that! Only the SGP can do well on the list vote.

Colin Armstrong reposted

That’s what I’ll be doing!

An #SNP1SGP2 vote in May could be a triple whammy. It has the potential to . . . 1) Maximise pro-Indy seats 2) Reduce Unionist MSPs 3) Prevent Reform winning enough seats to be the official opposition. We've got just 8 weeks to get that information out to voters. #Scotland #Holyrood26

If I was @zackpolanski.bsky.social, I would be pointing out to the BBC that whatever model they use to justify giving Farage & his boot-lickers season tickets for every BBC show under the sun must surely now treat Green Party politicians in exactly the same way.

Kaine on Fox: "The president can act to defend US against imminent attack without congressional approval. But if you're going to initiate war, you need Congress. The president not only did not come to Congress, he acted without even notification to the vast majority of us. This is an illegal war."

Keir Starmer as a leader has a rare ability not found in many. He can identify a position, then backtrack, compromise, do a U-turn & stand on his head, and then abandon it. Net result: Starmer ends up respected & supported by no one & despised & disliked by nearly everyone.

Fascinating anecdote from A.N. Wilson today in the Mail. 20 years ago the brother of the editor of the newspaper he worked for became a foreign ambassador.

If we need proof that the Labour Party is dying out in Scotland look at this picture.The delegates are few and far between and most of them could give Methuselah a run for his money. A once great Party laid low.Thats what happens when you don't give a damn about Scotland and defer to Westminster.
