I'm on mobile, so this is somewhat rushed.
There is a right wing crisis in England.
Very much borne of the same vein as the crisis of English nationalism which gifted us brexit.
In Scotland, this chaos is supported and lauded only by uber-sectarian, hard-core unionist filth.
Do not give an inch to these ignorant, racist mutts . Not a single inch.
I hope our own reps in Scotland ban any of their absurd 'Enough is enough' gatherings. It is purely about hate. They have NOTHING to say, and NO coherent message on ANYTHING. Anymore than a football hooligan might have some well considered thoughts to offer on the climate challenge, war, or global equality.
#AngloState racists will manipulate ANY situation - even tragedy - and take ANY advantage for their own end.
This isn't a mass demonstration about the cost of living, slaughter in Palestine, nukes on Scottish soil, nuke stations we don't need, the 2-child cap, winter fuel allowance or ANY of the obscene vagaries that come with being soldered to this dismal and demonstrably false 'political union'. Considerations that SHOULD be challenged by decent people for the common weal.
Meanwhile, the BBC is casting the whole sickening mess as a 'UK' problem....while filming packs of knuckle-draggers singing 'England 'til I die'.
A few weeks ago, we were treated to that morlockian dirge ahead of every England football fixture at the Euros.
Not the 'UK' then. Not the 'UK' now.
And, ready yourself...this is another benefit of 'union', Scotland!
Because the cultural impact of this ugliness, ably supported and perpetuated by said Anglo-state media squatting in Scotland, means its *yours* also - to own and cherish. After all, a 'Brit' in Southport is the same as a 'Brit' in Stirling, or Glasgow, or Plockton. Right?
Right?
Being part of this union isn't just a threat economically. It's a real, tangible threat in so many other capacities - beyond the asset stripping of our country.
Remember the nazi salutes in George Square 10 years ago? The same breed - moreover, the same PHILOSOPHY - as the morons in the attached image.
Imagine, for a moment...
...imagine how little room we'd give these thugs in a Scotland that was setting a very different social and cultural course. All from the simple act of enshrining our own political independence.
*Imagine* being able to say to the world THIS is what we, the citizens of Scotland, think about Palestine. About Rwanda. About our relationship with Europe and the world at large.
And imagine the sweet, sweet joy of being able to tell the likes of Farage and his vile cheerleaders EXACTLY what we think of them - rather than gifting them lengthy, bizarre stretches of free airtime to spread their poison. As the BBC and the rest of the Anglo-state media do on a DAILY basis.
We can easily free ourselves from the tangible risk of this ignorance. We can routinely rid ourselves of even being associated with it. Dealing, instead, with the tiny fringe of right-wing lunatics in Scotland by our own means - and giving them NOTHING, ever.
We'd be able to leave England's crisis to England. Further, English politicians and media would need to OWN and acknowledge their national catastrophe. It's the elephant in the room. It has been for some time. And, after all, said politicians and media helped nourish this rising evil in the first place.
In Scotland, we would expect our reps to offer calm minds and rationale thought to our neighbours - if asked.
For all Scots, myself included, would surely trust and hope that the GOOD people of England might then say to their political class, finally, 'enough is enough'.
Sunderland rioters throw rocks at Filipino NHS nurses on way to work as emergency cover
These are cowardly thugs whose actions should be condemned by every politician

This isn’t rocket science - if a private sector company increases its wages yes - that goes directly into the cost of making that product or service and that might end up increasing the price. But that’s not the case with public sector workers such as education and healthcare which are free at the point of use - that means consumers do not pay for them directly and so they do not affect the inflation statistics.
Both @RishiSunak & @Jeremy_Hunt know this. RT & let them know you know it too
⚠️ SAFETY ALERT
It has been brought to our attention that dangerous stickers have been discovered at a railway station that, once removed, have razor blades stuck to them.
Please take extreme care and do not attempt to remove them.
This is incredible. A former police officer, under oath, has said the police didn’t smear the family of Stephen Lawrence. “That’s a security services job…scrap that last bit”.
The broadcast is then suspended!
📢 We repeatedly warned that Labour’s decision to copy Tory spending plans and fiscal rules would lead to around £18 billion of cuts.
🚩 Labour denied this throughout the election.
🤦 Now, UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves has been forced to admit it's true.
“Imagine the shock for Mr Farage when he finds out a study by Durham University has found a primary factor in the sky rocketing number of small boat crossings was the failure to secure a post-Brexit returns arrangement with the EU”
