Utopia V's Dystopia. Which side you on?

Energy security and Scotland's abundance of it (both traditional and renewable) should not only be protecting us, but also enriching us, offsetting the supply side (inflation) shocks globally. We should be a haven of stability (energywise) in an unstable world.

It is [beyond] time that Zonal electricity pricing is implemented. Create zones of growth where energy abundance exists and offset nimbyism with direct local benefit. Look to Iceland, look to Norway where zonal pricing exists. It's the application of supply & demand economics.
With winter on the way, it's unacceptable that people across my constituency are facing a live decision between turning on the heating or going to the supermarket. Labour promised energy bills would fall by £300, now they're projected to rise by £1,000 a year.

An economy growing at 1% takes about 69.7 years to double, whereas an economy growing at 3% takes about 23.5 years. Poland is projected to surpass the UK in GDP per capita (purchasing power/wealth per person) in 3 years. Congratulations Brexiteers.

Could you please lose large agressive & depressing BORDER FORCE signs. My heart sinks when I arrive back in my native Scotland from a friendly neighbouring country e.g. Faroe Islands, Iceland, Norway. It will go eventually for sure to be replaced by a friendly 'Failte gu Alba.'

The US is getting ready to go back to war with Iran. The CIA says Israel is close to collapse. Israeli and US elections weeks away. Buckle up, desperate warmongers are about to light an even bigger fire upon the world to hold onto their illegitimate and evil rule.

NEW: An amateur film historian and writer has discovered evidence that the world’s first ever feature film was in fact recorded and premiered in Scots and not in English 🚨 This is a screen grab from Till the Bells Ring (1926), the lost Scottish film We spoke to Marc David Jacobs about how he discovered the film – and why but he had to spend over three years fighting to have his discovery acknowledged 👇

If ever we needed evidence that Scotland is indeed a colony this is it!
This should be front and centre of every news story on BBC Scotland and STV. A Parliament voted for by around 70% of Scotland’s electorate is at risk of having some of its powers removed by a Party rejected by Scots for over 70 years. It should be the major headline but it won’t.

How did I guess that the Tory’s ‘Iron Dome’ will only protect London. Yet again, the entirety of the UK will be forced to pay for it. Especially egregious given that majority of targets would be in Scotland.
