Fuck Keir Starmer
- A man who couldn't get us cancelled from Glasto
- A man who couldn't beat us in court
- A man who has destroyed the Labour Party
- A man whose government supports war criminals in Israel with weapons and intelligence
What most people remember from Alex Salmond’s final social media post is the slogan
“Scotland, country not county.”
It is a powerful line, and it is no surprise that it has been embraced as his closing statement on independence.
What is largely forgotten is what he said alongside it:
“Part of becoming independent is about thinking independently, not subserviently.”
That, to me, is the single most important step on Scotland’s path to independence and it is the one we are failing to take. Nowhere is this failure more evident than in our political class.
We see no independent thinking from any party, only subservient rhetoric. They can all recite policies for the narrow areas the devolved administration is permitted to manage, yet none can answer the most basic questions of independence.
What will replace the DWP? Where will the Scottish civil service be headquartered? How many MSPs will an independent Parliament have, and where will it sit? These are not details; they are fundamentals.
The silence is telling. Independence has not been planned for because our politicians are still thinking within a system imposed on Scotland by the English state, rather than beyond it.
Yes, we need a free and democratic mandate of 50% plus one, and the clearest route is an election Westminster cannot block. But beyond securing that mandate, we do not need more Holyrood policy promises. We need clarity on the foundations of statehood: how taxes will be collected once HMRC is gone, what rates will apply, how quickly a Scottish central bank can issue a national currency, and how education will be governed in an independentScotland.
It is clear to me now that Independence will never be delivered by careerist British politicians angling for seats at the English table. It will be built by Scottish patriots prepared to do the hard work of designing the architecture of a new Scotland thinking independently, not subserviently.
Don’t stop protesting the Zionist holocaust in Gaza
Your taxes are paying for it
This UK spy plane is still flying daily over Gaza and passing intelligence to the Israeli military in real-time
We need to escalate until the participation ends and UK ministers are at The Hague
How much of our money is the government spending on a US firm subcontracted to conduct spy flights over Gaza for Israeli intelligence?
Defence minister @LukePollard won’t tell us due to “operational security”.

A UN inquiry has confirmed that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
The Foreign Secretary must come to Parliament, now, and explain why the government is still - shamefully - providing military support to Israel.
I can't stop thinking about 1 sentence in today's UN report regarding Israel's genocide in Gaza.
"Israeli security forces shot at & killed civilians, including children who were holding makeshift white flags. Some children, including toddlers, were shot in the head by snipers.”
"US Government is complicit in Genocide You have an obligation to the constitution of USA"
Veterans Anthony Aguilar Josephine Guilbeau were removed from a Senate hearing after accusing lawmakers of complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
Genocide, destruction of infrastructure, housing, murder of civilians, women, children, forced removal and deportation of the population. Call it for what it is, liquidating the ghetto.
A man who took his country out of the ICC to welcome a wanted war criminal Netanyahu like a hero as he starves children to death....talks about peace.
Fuck Viktor Orban

Sent to a juryless trial.
@metpoliceuk are obviously taking a break from raping and murdering London citizens to prosecute a rapper waving a flag! The kind of actions we told only takes place in Russia and North Korea!
Political policing... Sounds oddly familiar to what has been happening in Scotland the past few years.
