Unmasking the Manipulation of Scotland’s 2014 Referendum. The @UN through its decolonisation mechanisms will prevent such manipulation.
The 2014 Scottish independence referendum has often been hailed by the English establishment as a triumph of democratic expression, a peaceful, decisive moment where the people of Scotland “chose” to remain in the 'United Kingdom'. Yet, this narrative collapses under even modest scrutiny. Behind the ceremonial surface of ballot boxes and televised debates lay a calculated system of structural manipulation: a media environment rigged by state broadcasters, an electoral franchise designed to dilute the Scottish voice, and a campaign of fear orchestrated at the highest levels of government and finance. What occurred was not an equal contest between competing futures, but a managed defeat, engineered to preserve Westminster’s colonial grip on Scotland under the guise of democratic legitimacy. Let's reopen the record to expose how the British state, through psychological warfare, economic coercion, and covert interference, ensured the survival of its shrinking Union by strangling the very principles it claimed to uphold.

When the monster Netanyahu 🇮🇱 announced a full blockade on Gaza 🇵🇸

“No free lunches….as of this morning all goods & supplies into Gaza 🇵🇸 will be prevented.”

Collective punishment & starvation as a weapon of genocide

Expel Israel 🇮🇱 from the UN now.

This is my journalistic colleague Motaz Rajab. Did you know he was murdered yesterday?

No one spoke of him because a journalist being killed in Gaza is a daily occurrence.

You only kill journalists when truth is your enemy.

This is not normal.

A mother's nine children killed in an airstrike.

A child battling flames to escape a burning building.

Starvation.

None of this is normal.

Do not become numb to the scenes of cruelty we are witnessing.

Keep speaking out.

Be on the right side of history.

[Charlie Herbert @Charlie533080]

As an Army officer we studied often the concept of war amongst the people. But Israel’s actions in Gaza have coined a new concept - war against the people. At odds with every norm of international humanitarian law.

Barbaric, immoral, illegal.

The Scottish people are currently subjected to a systematic regime of state-sponsored propaganda and information control orchestrated by the United Kingdom, more precisely, by the English state apparatus, to preserve its colonial hold over Scotland and maintain access to its territory, resources, and geopolitical advantages.

This is not mere political disagreement; it constitutes a deliberate information warfare strategy involving psychological operations (psyops), media disinformation, narrative suppression, and the co-opting of internal voices to fragment the independence movement. The objective is clear: to delegitimise Scotland’s right to self-determination, conceal the colonial nature of the so-called Union, and obstruct international awareness.

In the context of the UN Charter and relevant decolonisation frameworks, this represents a profound violation of the principles of self-government, informed consent, and cultural integrity. The situation demands urgent scrutiny by the international community. The technical scale, strategic coordination, and financial resourcing of this propaganda regime are astonishing, and its exposure is essential not only for Scotland’s liberation, but for the credibility of international law in confronting colonialism wherever it persists. Scotland has started its decolonisation through @UN mechanisms.

Why do some Scots vote for the “union”?
I’m on holiday in Spain
Cost of fuel, food, drink and living is cheaper
Restaurants are full of old folk as their pensions are far higher than mine
🇪🇸 doesn’t have natural resources like 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
🇬🇧 has ripped 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 off long enough

Not sure you can vote for anti-immigration and anti-NHS political parties and then complain about struggling to get a GP appointment or having to wait a year to see a specialist

As an adult, you have to take responsibility for your decisions

It was a very difficult night, one of the most difficult days.

I hugged my children all night until morning , I never imagined that we would survive.

My daughter Lana said to me, "Dad, let's make a video saying that we are still alive."

We have many friends around the world who are worried about us and love us very much.

[Bill Cruickshank @BjCruickshank]

If Scotland was an equal partner in this so called union, we would not have to ask Westminster permission to vote on our own future. The very fact we are told that we do, glaringly exposes the fact that Scotland is a colony of the @GOVUK.

Francesca Albanese speaking to truth:

‘All genocides see the dehumanisation of the other. We do not see the Palestinians as Palestinians’

The media- starting with the BBC- have acted to dehumanise Palestinians 🇵🇸

The media is complicit in genocide.
