@davidbirkettsnp@theSNP@Plaid_Cymru No.
Along with many other people I seen the signs when Sturgeon took over. A lot are still in denial in the SNP.
Rather than be embarrassed though ...work to change it.
Either kick out the devolutionists (unionists) or leave and join/support another party.

After all the years I worked on the Freeport campaign, myself and rest of the amazing group were very familiar with the same old rhetoric
‘ jobs ‘ ‘ investment’ ‘ infrastructure ‘
Now we are dealing with the same with data centres , some are proposed in Freeport and SIZ locations , so this means a lot of business incentives , more profit before people .

“ Apatura have proposed plans for a 550MW AI data centre alongside a 650MW battery energy storage system in North Lanarkshire. This "campus" will span 160 acres, equivalent to 100 football pitches. The power used could supply over 1.2 million homes. If approved, these plans will go ahead without appropriate environmental impact checks or community consultation. These centres bring large amounts of noise and light pollution which has not been disclosed to locals. “

Do you want companies like this in Scotland taking over our land, our natural resources , our sovereign territory?
@notwheeshting@MaryCuthbe41916@WingsScotland@IndyScotParty are trying like a bear to be recognised since 2020 when they introduced voting for two different indy parties.
So there are routes ...we just need to be brave enough to take them.

Alyn Smith ‘Insults’ AI Objectors
…… by comparing those who object to AI centres to those who would have dismissed the lightbulb as a ‘dangerous anti-candle device’, and apparently rejects the Environmental Impact Assessment (EAI) which has concluded that the site proposed for a mega-AI centre in Larbert would have a ‘major adverse’ effect on operational and construction greenhouse has emissions’ as well as dismissing fears of significant health implications for local residents and loss of amenity.
It’s okay though. Smith tried to calm their fears by saying that the Scottish government was ‘establishing an observatory to track AI’s impact on jobs and how the technology is being used’. Perhaps they should have modelled the possible results before plunging headlong into a Scotland covered in Data Centres?
He thinks it will be sunshine all the way. But Dr Kat Jones of Action to Protect Rural Scotland is doubtful about the economic benefits, saying AI centres bring few jobs. She echoes that a proper in-depth assessment should be carried out, prior to which there should be a pause on AI datacentres. Sounds like anything for
money “

I am so proud of @Fionanel , this is why it’s so important to y see stand the STV voting system .
You NEED to give every candidate a jmbet of preference “ VOTE TILL YOU BOKE “
This a post from @Fionanel on @facebook
Now the dust has settled, I've had a proper look at the full preference figures from the Mid Argyll by-election.
I wanted to come back and thank you again, because these numbers tell a story the headline result doesn't.
264 of you gave me your 2nd preference. That's the second highest of all seven candidates, ahead of the Conservatives, Reform and the SNP. Add in 1st and 3rd preferences and over 450 of you put me in your top three 💙
For a small party with a wee team on foot, I'm really proud of that. It tells me a lot of you liked what I stood for, even if your first vote went elsewhere this time.
This matters for May. In the full council elections, Mid Argyll elects THREE councillors, and preferences can carry a candidate over the line. So every number you put on that ballot paper really does count.
“ Thank you for every one of them. I'll keep speaking up for Mid Argyll, and I'll be back in May 🏴” “
