Holyrood Election in May
Whoever forms the next gov
Will be operating with budget of £68b.

Revenue raised in Scotland estimated between £150/£200b

£68b not enough for services we already receive.

£5b of cuts have to be made.

We have to ask ourselves are we totally stupid

@Sutton1Mr Makes quite a lot of sense.
I have lots of issues with SNP
But immigration is a Westminster matter. Edinburgh can do nothing about it.

[Hope Over Fear @hopeoverfear01]

In 2021 Holyrood election the SNP got 1,094,347 List votes.

For that 1 million votes they got 2 seats.

The Tories got 637,131 list votes & got 26 seats.

Labour got 485,891 list votes & got 20 seats.

The “BothvotesSNP “ strategy wasted a MILLION IndyVotes.

Don’t repeat it!

"Scotland today has a vastly diminished indigenous population. In post colonial theory, this is known as banishment of natives, although 'ethnic cleansing' is the widely held scholarly term used today."

Prof Alf Baird, Geneva Speech Part 2 (audio enhanced)

"Culture and identity are very closely connected and post-colonial theory views national independence as a fight for a national culture, a desire for nationhood as a cultural emotion.

Like many colonised peoples, the Scots were sold the idea of a British or English identity. However, as many former colonies, now United Nations member states, discover, this manufactured identity, which is the primary tool it needs use to retain power, is a cultural illusion. Within the colonised territory, rather, new forms of land development and imposed heritage narratives became normalised via the cultural recreation of the coloniser.

Examples included, land clearances with entire communities being removed and villages destroyed to be replaced by sheep.

The process continues today, with large Highland estates used as speculative investments, by external tax-avoiding interests, limiting and preventing social and economic development of the people and nation.

A further colonial tool, employed in the domination of Scotland, is demographic manipulation. Since the 1707 annexation and following the atrocities of the 18th century Wars of Independence, Scotland has endured centuries of clearances, evictions, transportation of people, export of endangered abour and empire resettlement programmes.

As a consequence, Scotland today has a vastly diminished indigenous population. In post colonial theory, this is known as banishment of natives, although 'ethnic cleansing' is the widely held scholarly term used today.

In just 60 years between 1870 and 1930, 2 million people were shipped out of Scotland, almost half its then population.

In total, some 4 million Scots have departed Scotland since annexation, which is the largest loss of population in Western Europe.

For a country of our size, the loss of Scots was at least eight times that of English immigration.

At the point of annexation, Scotland's population was one quarter that of England. Today it is less than 1/10 and Scotland's population remained static at 5 million for much of last century, when natural growth should have seen at least 10 million.

The majority of people settling in Scotland come from one country, England. Inbound flows markedly differ from outbound, mainly comprising middle class English people given professional and managerial jobs in Scotland. This has resulted in an ethnic and cultural division of labour with a social hierarchy favouring the dominant Anglophone culture.

In effect, much of the Scottish population has been displaced and institutions in Scotland are made Anglo-centric.

The population of Scotland has recently been growing since 2000, but this is only through accelerated in-migration. Again, mostly from England.

Scotland today has its lowest birth rate on record. Many Scots remain unable to bring up families due to low wages, lack of economic opportunity and a chronic shortage of housing.

Existing and new housing stock has been absorbed through increased in-migration and settlement of people from England.

With excessive demand from our much larger, 10 times larger populated neighbour, bidding up house prices to unaffordable levels for Scots.

Essentially, the conditions have now been created which prevent Scottish births, which means the Scots as a distinct people remain firmly in the process of perishing, as is their culture.

Migration is a matter reserved to Westminster, and England as UK as administrative power. The long term oppressions of manipulation of the Scottish population, including large scale displacement and replacement of indigenous Scots, which can be considered ethnic cleansing as well as cultural genocide, may be regarded as a continuous colonial process not yet ending.

Let us also consider the essential features of dependency. Politically, every attempt to assert Scottish self-determination through democratic means, through referenda or electoral mandates has been selectively managed, blocked or ignored by Westminster or deemed legally ineffective by the England-as-UK Supreme Court.

Scotland is governed from outside, its national identity is suppressed, its resources are controlled without accountability and its democratic will is subordinated to an external majority. This is precisely the pattern of dependency and domination that the United nations has recognised in many decolonization cases since 1945.

In this situation, there is also gross misrepresentation in that the United Kingdom has consistently portrayed Scotland as a willing partner in a democratic union, not as a colonised nation.

This false narrative has prevented Scotland from being listed as a non self-governing territory, shielding the UK from legal obligations it would otherwise incur under Article 73 of the UN Charter.

And finally, in regard to psychological subjugation, domination by another culture results in a people developing a colonial mindset which is a feeling of cultural inadequacy, including self-loathing also related to internalised racism.

Post-colonial theory tells us that colonialism is based on psychology, and with colonial oppression resulting in a mental pathology that's suffered by a colonised people.

This colonial condition is viewed as a disease of the mind, for which the only remedy is liberation.

Independence and decolonization therefore bring about a need for the oppressed group to decolonize the mind, as well as reclaiming sovereignty and self-recovery of culture, ending economic plunder and external political and cultural control, in order to become fully liberated.

To summarise, the Scottish people remain subject to features of oppression that run parallel with colonial rule.

This includes external political control, plunder of economic resource and domination by an alien culture and values.

The reality is an Anglophone cultural hegemony associated with racial and ethnic hierarchy. It is these oppressions that give rise to an independence movement, based on the solidarity of the oppressed ethnic group, the Scots.

Economic exploitation and cultural domination have therefore combined to leave the Scottish people and nation diminished, underdeveloped and in the process of perishing. Oppression is obscured, via the cultural assimilation process and prevailing institutionalised colonial narrative.

A colonised people are further subdued by the inevitable internalised racism accompanying a dominant racist ideology, subordinating the indigenous ethnic group.

And we should remember that colonialism always involves racism.

And here today we unveil the reality therefore that the Scottish peoples, inalienable and lawful right to elf- determination and independence demands decolonization, the ending of the scourge of colonialism as a matter of urgency. Thank you."

Just got an FOI request back from the Scottish Government that says there are no London Court of Arbitration (LCIA) mechanisms in Scotland's 18 Special Economic Zones and 2 Freeports.
This means corporations cannot sue the Scottish Government over breach of contract in a potential arbitration dispute.
This removes a major barrier to sovereignty, allowing a future government (e.g., post-2026 elections) to legislatively "undo" elements like tax incentives or site designations more easily than in England/Wales.
However, full revocation would likely involve phased transitions, compensation, and UK coordination to avoid legal/economic pitfalls.
This means any incoming Scottish Government can revoke the 25-year licenses on all of Scotland's deregulated free zones.
This doesn't mean that Scottish free zones are benign; there are still myriad problems embedded within them, after all they are still deregulated, they are still expansionist, they're draining astronomical amounts of public money for profit motive (illegal in the EU), green washing, potential money-laundering, mandatory beneficial-ownership registers, expanded AML checks for on-site transactions, and cooperation with UK/National Crime Agency.
Environmental pollution: Strengthen planning & permit conditions; require environmental bonds/decommissioning guarantees up front.
Datacentres & resource use: Impose resource-use caps, require grid-impact assessments, and prioritise sustainable energy conditions.
Tax evasion & state aid: Tighten local tax relief eligibility, install clawbacks for non-performance, notify UK where required for any subsidy-like measures.
Corporate expansionism / corporate creep: Limit automatic rollovers and require case-by-case approvals for footprint expansion.
Compulsory purchase reforms: Ensure CPO practice and compensation rules are transparent; use reform consultations (you linked the CPO consultation paper) to tighten protections.
The absence of pre-embedded LCIA arbitration in Scottish free zones gives a future government materially more policy room, but it does not remove legal, contractual, investment-treaty, fiscal, environmental, and political constraints; careful auditing, phased policy design, UK coordination, and targeted administrative levers are essential to unwind or reform free-zone arrangements without causing undue legal or economic fallout.
