No he's offering a pathway to drastically lower drug deaths. Just like Portugal. You'd prefer these people die so you can use them as a means to abuse the SNP.

Scotland certainly doesn’t need the chaos, division and grievance politics you and your lot specialise in. They got enough problems without importing yours.

▪️£4 billion a year on asylum hotels and support. ▪️Another £15 billion a year of public money on Net Zero. ▪️Another £3 billion a year given to Ukraine. ▪️Another £6 billion wasted in a single fiscal year from cancelled government funded projects and asset retirements. That’s £28 billion of taxpayer cash in a single year. We can’t keep the lights on in hospitals, fail to support our farmers, veterans wait years for housing, potholes have their own postcodes and the road drains aren’t regularly cleaned. But we’ve always got another few billion for illegal migrant hotels no one asked for and a climate target that accounts for less than 1% of global emissions while China opens another coal plant. Fiscal responsibility, they call it. The rest of us just call it setting fire to the country and calling it policy. The national conversation should move from how much tax we should pay and towards what the government is spending our tax money on.

#Scotland is not an empty map. It has the UK’s highest share of renewable electricity, a whisky export measured in billions, water, fisheries, and a scientific inheritance from Watt and Maxwell to Fleming and Dolly. Independence would not invent a scientific nation. Let's talk about it... Scotland between a right and a plan. | @LauraEWebsterr #NewsmaxBalkans #ScottishIndependenceDebate newsmaxbalkans.com/english/v…

You know what's funny? I have a bunch of followers these days with Union Jack badges in their username who love it when I go after Nicola Sturgeon for clinging on to stuff bought with stolen money. But they don't like it when I point out that a certain football club is also trying to cling onto stuff bought with stolen money, in their case trophies won thanks to robbing tens of millions of pounds from the taxpayer. Just like Sturgeon, they want to keep all the stolen stuff and walk away from all the responsibility. And just like Sturgeon, because it's in the interests of the Scottish establishment to pretend nothing happened, they officially get away with it. But just like her, they know the truth in their hearts and they get REALLY pissy if you have the temerity to remind them about it. Rangers fans and SNP members are a lot more alike than they like to think.

"The Act of Union was about making Scots repay English debts FOR more than three centuries, the Act of Union has been dressed up in the language of partnership, progress & mutual benefit. We are told of a progressive merger that rescued a bankrupt Scotland & welcomed it into a wealthy, modern British state. But when you strip away the romanticised history & look at the cold, hard balance sheets of 1707, a far darker & more calculated financial swindle emerges. The foundational myth of the Union is that Scotland was a financial basket case saved by English charity. The reality of the national balance sheets tells the exact opposite story. At the point of Union, Scotland’s national debt sat at a clean £0. While Scotland was cash-poor & reeling from the localised disaster of the Darien Scheme, the Scottish state itself did not owe a single penny. By contrast,England’s national debt was a staggering £18 million. England was drowning; to fund decades of aggressive imperial warfare against France,England had essentially invented the modern national debt system,racking up a mountain of borrowing that was more than three times its annual tax revenue. The Union was not a wealthy nation generously absorbing a poor neighbour;it was a heavily indebted military state looking to expand its tax base to help service its own massive war debts. Under Article XV of the Treaty, Westminster agreed to pay Scotland a lump sum of £398,085 &10 shillings, known as the “Equivalent”. Historically, this is framed as a fair economic adjustment to compensate Scotland for joining a shared fiscal system. In truth,it was a highly targeted, state-sponsored payout designed to buy a country. Nearly 60%of the entire fund –some £232,884 –was earmarked to pay back the lost capital, +5% interest, of the bankrupt Company of Scotland. The people who lost their fortunes in the Darien disaster were the exact same nobles, landlords & politicians sitting in the Scottish Parliament. By making their personal refunds entirely contingent on the Union passing, Westminster ensured they had a massive personal incentive to vote“Yes”. If they voted“No”, they remained bankrupt. If they voted“Yes”, they got their money back. Just to guarantee the outcome, the English Treasury secretly funnelled an additional £20,000 to the Duke of Queensberry to distribute in bribes to wavering Scottish peers under the guise of“back pay”. As Robert Burns would later savagely write, Scottish parliamentarians were quite literally “bought and sold for English gold.” The most devastating,rarely discussed aspect of the 1707 transaction is that the English Treasury did not actually lose a single penny on the deal. The moment the Union was signed,Scotland was integrated into England’s highly aggressive,high-rate tax system. Westminster set up new, heavily policed customs& excise boards to extract revenue from daily Scottish essentials like salt,malt,beer & coal. Every shilling of the £398,085 “Equivalent”sent north was systematically clawed back from ordinary Scottish taxpayers through these newly inflated duties. When the initial cash run ran short, the government issued debentures to cover the remaining payouts. To pay the interest on these debentures, Westminster created an annual annuity,paid directly out of Scotland’s own freshly collected customs and excise revenues. In short,the Scottish political elite took a cash payout to cover their own private business failures,while the ordinary Scottish public was left to foot the bill through decades of aggressive taxation. The Act of Union was a masterful financial shell game. England successfully merged its staggering £18m war debt with a completely debt-free neighbour,used Scotland’s own future tax revenues to fund the bribes that bought the Scottish parliament,and left ordinary Scots to pay off the debt of a war they didn’t start. It remains one of the most successful, legalised hostile takeovers in political history. Alan Hinnrichs Dundee"

Wait till you find out that it was Labour that signed up Glasgow to the UK dispersal Scheme in 1999. And Westminster is responsible for the dispersal of migrants, not the SNP. Do try to keep up.

The next referendum must be run completely independently from Westminster
I disagree with Craig on this one. I think we will be offered another opinion poll, controlled by the state and using every trick in the book to guarantee just one outcome. And if we accept that, it’s over for Scotland.

Even with the UK government’s full option of powers available to them that aren’t available to the Scottish government? You still think they’re better? Think that’s wild all things considered but fair play for replying.

🇮🇷|Iranian Jews and Christians Marching Alongside Muslims in Tehran. The West Never Shows You This. Because It Destroys Their Narrative. Iran has the largest Jewish population in the Middle East outside of Israel. Estimates range from 8,000 to 25,000. They have a guaranteed seat in the Iranian parliament. They have synagogues in Tehran, Isfahan, and Shiraz. They have schools, community centers, and kosher butchers. Their synagogues have been designated as national heritage sites by the Iranian government. Iran has over 300,000 Christians. Armenians and Assyrians. They have two guaranteed seats in parliament. They have churches that have stood for centuries. They have monasteries that are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. And now, they are marching alongside Muslims in Tehran. Against the United States. Against Israel. Not because they are forced. Not because they are paid. Because they see what the US and Israel are doing to the region. Because they see the bombs falling on Gaza. Because they see the sanctions strangling their country. Because they see the same enemy that Muslims see. The West Cannot Show You This Why? Because the West's entire narrative about Iran depends on one thing: the lie that Iran is a homogenous, oppressive, Shia theocracy that persecutes minorities. If Iranian Jews are marching alongside Muslims, that lie collapses. If Iranian Christians are protesting alongside Muslims, that lie collapses. If Iranian minorities have seats in parliament, that lie collapses. So the West doesn't show you this. It shows you "women, life, freedom." It shows you "Iran oppresses minorities." It shows you "the regime is on the brink of collapse." And then it shows you a clip from a Persian-language channel funded by Saudi Arabia or the CIA, and calls it "news." The Deeper Truth: Iran Is a Civilization, Not a Sect Iran is not a "Shia state." Iran is a civilization. ◾ It has Persian, Azerbaijani, Kurdish, Arab, Baloch, Turkmen, and Armenian citizens. ◾ It has Muslims, Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians, and Baha'is. ◾ It has Shia, Sunni, Sufi, and secular Iranians. ◾It has liberals, conservatives, reformists, and radicals. ◾ It has poets, filmmakers, scientists, engineers, and athletes. The 1979 revolution did not create a "Shia theocracy." It created a republic that includes all Iranians who accept the constitution and the revolutionary framework. Those who don't can leave and millions have. But those who stay including Jews and Christians are not "dhimmi." They are Iranians. Why They March Against the US and Israel Because the US and Israel are their common enemy. ◾The US imposed sanctions that affect all Iranians, regardless of religion. ◾ The US bombed hospitals and schools in Iran, regardless of who was inside. ◾The US targeted 85% of Iran's oil tankers, regardless of who owned them. ◾ The US threatened to shut down every Iranian airline, regardless of who was on board. ◾The US supported the MEK, a cult that killed Iranians regardless of their faith. ◾The US supported Jaish al-Adl, a terrorist group that kills Iranians regardless of their sect. ◾The US backed the Shah, a dictator who tortured Iranians regardless of their religion. The US doesn't distinguish between Muslim, Christian, and Jewish Iranians. So why should Iranian Jews and Christians distinguish between Muslim, Christian, and Jewish Iranians? They don't. They march together. Against the same enemy. The Truth the West Fears The West wants you to believe that Iran is a prison. That its minorities are hostages. That its non-Muslims are waiting to be liberated by American bombs. But Iranian Jews are not waiting for American bombs. They are marching against American bombs. Iranian Christians are not waiting for American liberation. They are marching against American intervention. Because they know what happened to the Jews and Christians of Iraq. After the US invaded, Iraq's Jewish community one of the oldest in the world was almost completely destroyed. Iraq's Christians also among the oldest in the world were massacred, displaced, and driven out. The US did not protect them. The US created the chaos that destroyed them. Iranian Jews and Christians see what happened to their co-religionists in Iraq, Syria, and Gaza. They are not waiting for the same to happen to them. They are standing with their Muslim neighbors against the common enemy. The West will never show you this. But it happened. And it is happening now. And it is the truth. #Iran #Jews #Christians #Muslims #Unity #Resistance #Palestine #US #Israel
