📈 Not only have @theSNP been consistent in their position on Brexit, its been a steady hand navigating the Scottish economy through rolling seas of Brexit. This can often be lost in the heat of the Brexit debate.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 With the front page of today's @ScotNational in mind, by sheer coincidence, I bought a book last week called 'Addresses Against Incorporating Union 1706-1707'. The book cover.
Apparently, Glasgow was divided on the Union and it 'stimulated unusual levels of protest'. It also states that 'strong anti-union sentiment' was found amongst Glasgow artisans.
The artisans demonstrated literacy and political engagement by attaching papers reading 'No incorporating union' to their hats.

1) They maintain their power by pretending to be one of you.

It’s Friday, October 2, 2018.
2) Yes, #coffeetime :-)
3) The more I see of the rich and powerful, the more I understand their hands are soaked in blood.

Dear Scotland,

Let's look at the reality...
What people forget is the news media's apparent hostility towards @theSNP is one of the reasons social media became a core communications channel for the party early on (2010), before other UK political parties began taking part. The approach was simple in theory, difficult to...

1/ Manu (The progenitor of Humankind)
All different races of Mankind are derived from Manu and Shradha. The current Manu is Vaivasvata Manu.
2/ The word Manu literary means man but it is a title given to the progenitor of mankind. According to Hindu Puranas there are many kalpas (One day of Lord Brahma the creator) and each Kalpa has 14 manvantara and each manvatara has one manu. So basically each Kalpa has 14 Manus.
3/ The current manu of the present manvantara is Shraddhadeva or Vaivasvata Manu of this current Kalpa. He is the son of Vivasvat (Probably Surya) and is therefore also known as Manu-vaivasvata.
