North British Executive

A parody Exec-in-Exile that nonetheless reflects Scotland’s choice of an Executive, not a Government; solidarity, not separatism; and the UK as our shared home.

To describe a crime on the magnitude of October 7th as a ‘defeat’, as it if had an ounce of honour, shows why @BBCNews can no longer be trusted.

The decay of this institution is an enormous loss.

Denmark is in a union with the much larger Greenland, yes?

[Ron Wilson 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇺🇦 @TartanSeer]

Could you imagine a Dane having their country governed by its larger neighbour? Could you imagine Danes being told they couldn't decide their own country's future? Yet that is what the Unionist Interest demand for Scotland. #Independence https://t.co/jA3eLYTJWZ

North Macedonia - despite having an actual currency - has a GDP per person lower than Gabon.

[Johnny @JohnnyDundee]

North Macedonia:
Independent since its 1991 independence referendum. Area: 25,436 sq kms/9,821 sq miles (same size as Highland Council region). Population: 1,836,713 (just over a quarter of the population of Scotland). Currency: Macedonian Denar.

Scotland has nothing to fear

[North British Executive @scotexec]

Ever since they recycled Hamas propaganda around this time last year, I now only use BBC to find out what to search on X.

Instant, complete, and irrevocable loss of confidence.

How could Wales have done this to us?

Mind blown. The depth and subtlety of this analysis shakes the union to its core.

“Independence is about the act of acting independently.”

[North British Executive @scotexec]

Denmark is, of course, by far the largest country in Europe - a union of Jutland, Faeroes, and Greenland. This map, bizarrely, shows only Jutland highlighted.

Excellent. These people are very unlikely to be partitionists.

.@KamalaHarris has a plan that will lift up Black men and their families. She's laid out some ways to give Black men the tools to build wealth, achieve financial freedom, and lower costs. Read the plan: https://t.co/bcAqhVgGc3

[North British Executive @scotexec]

It was entirely correct. The EU themselves said so. This type of magic thinking destroyed the separatist case, and it is delightful that it continues.

[ruth wishart @ruth_wishart]

Of all the myths which surrounded the 2014 Indy campaign, sure the most scurrilous was that if you voted Yes we would have to leave the EU.

[Ben Goldsmith @BenGoldsmith]

Irish forces are refusing to budge from their UN ‘peacekeeping posts’ from which they failed to spot Hezbollah assembling one of the largest rocket arsenals in the world right under their noses, in direct contravention of UN resolution 1701 which the UN is there to enforce. 🤷‍♂️

Ignoring the toxicity of the campaign right to the end. Families were torn apart by it.

It’s going to take a long time to unwind this toxic legacy. But we’ll get there.

Remember that time the IRA bombed the school bus?

[North British Executive @scotexec]

Surprised that they remembered to take the bullet out of its casing before setting it on top of the x-ray film.

[Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib @afalkhatib]

The @nytimes published a piece in which dozens of foreign medical volunteers who went into Gaza recounted seeing and treating children who were deliberately shot in the head and neck by Israeli soldiers (you can tell from the x-ray they're 5.56 rounds used by the IDF). These volunteers describe in painful detail the extent of horror they saw firsthand, including mass killings, malnutrition, targeting of civilians, and repeated and documented patterns of IDF soldiers behaving ruthlessly toward Palestinian noncombatants throughout the war in Gaza.

It is indisputable that horrendous war crimes were and are continuing to be committed in the Gaza war, no matter the claims to the contrary. Hamas's criminality and terrorism on October 7 can never justify this behavior by a professional military with clear rules of engagement and codes of conduct. There must be accountability for these crimes.

I’ve never met a New Zealander who wanted North Island to be separated from South Island.

[Ron Wilson 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇺🇦 @TartanSeer]

I have never, ever, met a New Zealander who wanted their country back under the control of England. They'd think you were mad. So why do (some) Scots lack the confidence and pride to rule their own country?

[North British Executive @scotexec]

Well Boris did it, and Keir’s not disowned that, so why should Bob be any different?

I’d happily repeal it, put the terrorists back in jail, wind up the Assembly, and try again.

[North British Executive @scotexec]

‘active’ doing a lot of heavy lifting here, as if that makes the tiniest fragment of ethical difference

[Sian Mulholland MLA @sianalliance]

Alliance is clear: no minister should ever have a reason to meet with representatives of active paramilitary groups.

When I’m hearing from legitimate organisations that they have requested meetings and have been denied, that's the problem for me.
