@JohnSwinney Your job is to get us independence, not pose for foreign policy photo opps that many of us in Scotland are totally opposed to, and which merely echo Starmer's line.
@HazelAppleyard_ I'd tell her, your most loyal supporters are the hard core of the Scottish independence movement. Both male and female. Are you Yes yet?! How about throwing your weight behind the campaign for Scottish independence?
@JohnSwinney But you're NOT listening, are you? Or rather, you're only listening if you get a nodding dog audience! Tell the members of the 43 branches who put forward an alternative amendment for debate that you're listening! Or the rest of the Yes movement!
@HumzaYousaf That would include so-called 'trans women' then. The SNP have made it much easier for male predators to simply declare themselves as women, and then gain access to women and girls' safe spaces. While I sympathise with you, the SNP has alot to answer for themselves in this regard!
@WingsScotland There were a few hurty words said by individuals. But it pales into insignificance given the widespread bullying that went on at all levels on the No side. The entire staff at Barrhead Travel told they would lose their jobs if they voted Yes. This is just one example.
@jk_rowling So how has the last 11 years worked out in terms of being able to choose the terms? Not quite as expected, eh? And why have you now chosen to alienate SO MANY Yes voters, who then looked up to you because of your stance on gender identity politics?
@joannaccherry No. Don't forget you're dealing with the most self-centered narcissist on the planet! Still, looks like her work of fiction is going down like a fart in a space suit, so I wouldn't worry about who'll be judged to have been in the right! 😉
@SoupCruncher From a pro-union PoV, terrific, but from a pro-Scottish PoV, a disaster. IOW, what's good for the union is a disaster for Scotland, or simpler, the union is a disaster for Scotland. That's the ONLY logical conclusion!
@Bigbaz1874@joannaccherry It's a simple request for information, which the Commissioner is perfectly entitled to. If the SG has nothing to hide they've nothing to fear. And AT LEAST 1 witness perjured herself on the most serious charge. Were there any more? We're entitled to all the facts!

Understandably, many of us are at a loss to begin to adequately describe what has been wrenched from our lives.
Alex was the natural leader of the Scottish people.
More than that, a hero of the people. He tried to appreciate everyone, saw the good in people, and gave Scotland a destination, inspiration and hope.
We will honour him.
Alex was the great political prophet of our time, sadly like another great prophet in another great story, he was betrayed by his closest disciples, denied and disowned by those that owed him most. None of whom could lace his boots.
We will remember.
Fin ye drive across a bridge wi oot having tae pey, hae a wee smile and thank Alex.
Fin yer bairn grows up and goes tae university and disna pey fir a degree, smile n thank Alex.
Fan you dinna hae to pey for your NHS prescriptions...smile and thank Alex.
Files ye drive effortlessly roon the Aiberdeen bypass, smile thank Alex.
When you party in the street on Independence Day, on a new chapter o' Scottish history, 'Prosperity for Scotland'.... Smile and thank Alex Salmond.
The future is ours if we follow his example and deliver the dream.
We owe it to future generations. We owe it to his memory and all those that went before him. We owe it to ourselves.
Our hearts go out to Moira and the family and his many closest friends who worked with him daily to deliver good, for all of us.
Please try to take some comfort in knowing that a nation grieves with you.
'The Dream will never die.'
