@AUOBNOW Referendums decide nothing. People should demand an end to the pretended union and judge whether their representatives are making progress and getting it done or are just pigs with snouts in the same trough as uk politicians
@BerthanPete When Montenegro voted for union it was said to be in large part due to the biased media. In steps the bbc to help ensure a fairer media and a few years later Montenegro voted for independence. The EU wanted a 55% threshold
@everywoman61 The Alba party should promote the idea that soveignty lays at Holyrood as the national representative parliament of the sovereign Scottish people and that any decision can be made there by a majority of votes, including the ending of the treaty of union with England, at any time.
@everywoman61 Yeah, conferences are pretty banal. Something about human behaviour or Scottish behaviour, not wanting to go against the everything is fine message, atleast not without back-up. It might just take one courageous person though to point out the empress has an empty coat

@Rogue_74@punkpuffin@albathepict Russia have complained to the UN about DNA harvesting. Scientists in South Africa in the eighties worked on viruses that were genetic/race specific.
Scotland's first Catholic school was built in 1817.
In the 1790s, there were 39 known Catholics living in Glasgow, yet 43 anti-Catholic societies in the city.
A study of history tell us that the origins of sectarianism,and latterly anti Irish racism,are not rooted in schooling.
