Two new AI data centres proposed for Edinburgh would require 2 million litres of water per year & a continuous power supply of over 400 megawatts combined - the equivalent amount of energy as building five cities the same size as Edinburgh.

But hey, let’s blame cow farts for destroying the planet.

Tesco could pay every worker an extra £10,000 and still make a profit.

British Gas could pay every worker an extra £35,000 and still make a profit.

Shell could pay every worker an extra £300,000 and still make a profit.

It is the billionaires who are ripping you off.

Massie’s loss says a lot about the current state of politics.

The system claims to value independent thinking right up until someone actually acts independently. Then the pressure campaigns, money, and political threats arrive fast.

That dynamic exists in both parties, and it is one of the main reasons public trust keeps collapsing.

People are tired of representatives acting like employees of political brands instead of representatives of voters.

Gordon Brown announcing HS2 in 2009. The UK's biggest ever construction scandal. It will never be completed. It will never reach its original projected speed. Overbudget by £87.7bn. Enough to build 400 Glen Sannox ferries. FOUR HUNDRED!

Ferries fiasco? F*ck off.

Scotland's free banking era from 1716 to 1844 delivered stable money, financial innovation, and zero bank runs. No government deposit insurance, no lender of last resort, no regulatory capture. Just competition and market discipline doing what they do best.

Three major Scottish banks- the Bank of Scotland, Royal Bank of Scotland, and British Linen Company- competed directly with dozens of smaller institutions. Each bank issued its own notes backed by gold and silver reserves. When you received notes from another bank, you could either accept them at face value (if you trusted that bank) or demand immediate conversion to specie. This created instant accountability. Banks that overissued notes or made bad loans watched their currency get rejected by the public and returned for redemption, draining their reserves fast.

The market developed elegant solutions that would make today's financial engineers weep. Banks formed clearing houses to settle daily note exchanges. They established correspondent relationships across Scotland, creating a payments network more efficient than anything government bureaucrats designed. Interest rates moved freely based on supply and demand for capital, not the whims of committee-driven monetary policy. Scottish banks pioneered overdraft facilities, small-denomination notes, and branch banking while their English counterparts remained trapped by regulations.

The results speak louder than any economic theory. Scotland experienced remarkable economic growth during this period, transforming from one of Europe's poorest regions into an industrial powerhouse. Bank failures were rare and contained; when institutions failed, shareholders lost money, not taxpayers.

Parliament killed this monetary paradise in 1844 with the Bank Charter Act, forcing Scotland into England's central banking straitjacket. The politicians called it "reform" while destroying 128 years of monetary evolution that had actually worked.

A reminder that using the First Past the Post (FPTP) system we use for Constituencies in Scot Parl (SP), @theSNP won 80% of those seats in yesterday's Scottish Election results. If applied to the whole Parliament, that would have meant winning 103/129 seats, which would have been an unparalleled majority in any current UK legislature. All the England-based parties (Labour, Tories, Reform, Lib-Dems - look up the Electoral Commission if you don't believe me) all support FPTP for Westminster (WM) - the Lib-Dems may deny this, but that's largely meaningless as they were part of that 2010-2015 UK Govt - but not for Scot Parl. Their Scottish 'leaders' all, therfore, have to take orders from their London leadership. They either accept the charge of utter hypocrisy or admit that they can't have it both ways. E.g the last attempt to change the voting system for WM was 2011 (but the UK Gov ran a very poor campaign & put forward a very weak proposition thereby guaranteeing a "No" outcome in the 2011 AV Referendum). Notably the last Referendum held in the UK was the Brexit vote on the back of the Tories' 2015 Election majority at WM won against the backdrop of 36% vote share; the SNP won 38% in the recent SP election. As we now have the largest majority supporting independence we've ever had in the SP (Scottish Greens + SNP = 73 seats), there is ZERO 'constitutional' argument for denying Indyref2. The SNP ended with 58 seats (on 38% -57 constituencies, 1 list seat) & the Scottish Greens 15 seats (their largest ever return - 2 cons, 13 list, 16% vote share).
Let's hear the hypocrisy from the England-based parties and ask ourselves how long Scotland is going to put up with this, as @The_Proclaimers would say "Cap in Hand"?

We should be proud Scotland of the amount we have subsidised English infrastructure. Central London is booming! Let’s not forget the Chunnel, HS2 and over 3000 miles of motorway. It’s always nice to help neighbours, but I wonder when they are going to repay us? Independence now!!

In the the words of Starmer’s secret internal memo circulated within his Labour Party … Even if the Scottish Parliament UNANIMOUSLY passes a law in Scotland, supported by EVERY party/MSP … on a matter which is well within Scotland’s devolved powers … That democratic decision can be vetoed by a single UK Govt minister at his sole discretion 👀

The trial of the Ukrainian "ahem" male models who set fire to various private property associated with Keir Starmer, has been told that the trial will exclude any mention of the reasons why they did it.

Now there's a shock.

[Scotland’s Story @80_mcswan]

6000 miles of Scotland's North Sea were secretly claimed by Westminster in 1999. Unionists often deny this, so I have included the legislation. Every Scot should RT this to reveal the truth about Westminster's underhand tactics to stop independence. https://t.co/2XKJ3WYZVP

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Westminster has held us back for too long. Scotland has the power, Scotland should have the control.

🗳️ Make it #BothVotesSNP for a fresh start with independence!
