If the SNP can’t be honourable, it should probably be investigated
In the political realm the word ‘honour’ and ‘honourable’ is associated with ‘the other side’ from me. It was a One Nation Tory kind of thing, an overhang from the medieval courtly trad… https://t.co/mMco2rDEgL
Fits with what I've discovered. The #SNP ex in-house solicitor Scott Martin was in charge with @BlairJenkinsYes as CEO. Yet @Ross_Greer got a 25% wage rise thanks to Peter Murrell?

Never say that England subsidizes Scotland ever again.
Scots and Scottish businesses are squeeze for every extra little bit possible to help English companies.
Data published by the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, ICAN, shows that the UK has overtaken Russia in the amount it spends on nuclear weapons moving into third place behind China and the USA. #nuclearweapons#uk#ican#russia#news4scotland#thescotlandchannel

@fhirinn UK claims Scotland borrows £26.5bn, yet UK borrowed £132bn, meaning 8% would be just £10.56bn.
UK assigns what it wants, and "claims" it's Scotland's debt.
Scotland is not in debt, as it's impossible to get into debt when you can't borrow.
An interesting take here in this section which I would agree with. I sent my request back early 2021, because I was frustrated with the Inquiry: it's inability to obtain documents, some of it's members lack of curiosity, changing of evidence, insufficient powers etc. So I wanted
There’s an all too easily understood confusion here!
Liberate Scotland is a party political alliance for independence. Liberation Scotland, formed in 2022, is a non party political, liberation movement looking to restore our constitutional rights and identity (progressive and common good based), and to decolonise/liberate Scotland through our campaign for international recognition of its true status as an English colony/dependency. Then comes the declaration of independence and we hope to see a united Scotland voting, not to leave a non existent, fraudulent ‘union’ (you can’t leave a state that never existed !) but against entering any union with England. Independence is the only safe alternative to the miserable prison in which we have suffered for three centuries!

Scotland's AI Data Centre Gold Rush: Who Benefits and Who Pays?
Scotland stands on the brink of one of the largest industrial transformations in its modern history, yet most Scots have no idea it is happening.
According to the figures contained within the Scotland AI Data Centre Pipeline briefing, more than 9,177MW of data centre capacity is either proposed, in planning or moving through the development pipeline, the same briefing notes that Scotland's winter peak electricity demand is just over 4,000MW, if these figures are accurate and the projects proceed, the total demand from the proposed data centre pipeline would exceed Scotland's entire current peak electricity consumption by more than double.
The question every Scot should be asking is simple, who benefits and who pays?
The first group to examine are the developers themselves, the briefing identifies Intelligent Land Investments (ILI Group) and Apatura Energy as two of the dominant players, neither company is described as a traditional data centre operator, instead, both are said to operate a model based on securing land, obtaining grid connections, progressing planning approvals and then selling those assets on to major hyperscale operators, in simple terms, they secure the permissions and infrastructure rights, then profit from selling the package to larger international corporations.
The briefing states that Apatura's primary investor, Klint Ventures, has publicly discussed a strategy of selling 500MW of Scottish data centre capacity and generating approximately £300 million in profit for investors. Those investors are reported to include capital from Monaco-region, Nordic, Arabic and Spanish sources.
That immediately raises a question of public interest. If hundreds of millions of pounds can be extracted in profit from Scottish land, Scottish grid capacity and Scottish planning approvals, what direct benefit will remain in Scotland once the deals are done?
The second group are the global technology corporations waiting in the wings.
Although some end users have not been publicly identified, the briefing lists likely buyers and operators as potentially including Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, Google, Equinix, Brookfield, BlackRock-backed interests and other hyperscale data centre operators. These are among the wealthiest corporations on earth.
Their interest is obvious, Scotland possesses abundant renewable energy resources, available land and comparatively cool temperatures, to a global AI company, Scotland represents an attractive location to power the next generation of artificial intelligence systems.
The third group are the public bodies and agencies that promoted the expansion.
The briefing identifies the Scottish Government's Digital Connectivity Division, Scottish Enterprise and Crown Estate Scotland as central components of what it describes as a promotional machine for large-scale data centre development.
According to the document, these organisations were involved in identifying sites, promoting Scotland as a destination for hyperscale developments and creating the policy framework that encouraged investment.
Scottish Enterprise has a statutory role in promoting economic development, while Crown Estate Scotland generates revenue from land and seabed assets, those responsibilities create obvious incentives to encourage development.
The concern is whether sufficient weight has been given to the interests of communities, environmental impacts and long-term energy security, perhaps the most worrying issue is energy.
Scotland's people are repeatedly told that electricity is scarce, that energy infrastructure must be expanded, that transmission upgrades are essential and that consumers face increasing costs as the grid evolves, yet at the same time, proposals are emerging for developments that could consume energy on a scale dwarfing existing industrial demand.

Of the 48 nations participating in the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Canada, Mexico and the United States, only one is still a colony: Scotland. In the United Nations system, Scotland is now starting to be called an English colony.
Scottish clean energy projects in Scotland are set to pay one billion pounds to use the UK’s electricity network while projects in England will be paid four hundred and thirty six million pounds to connect to the same grid. #renewables#cleanenergy#scotland#news4scotland
