Scotland, you are under attack. From #misinformation and rewriting of History - and not just on the school curriculum.

This is an important thread, because it's one example but it's the tip of the #propaganda iceberg.

Please share to show this.
Fact- the 2007 SNP minority government relied on a supply and confidence coalition with the @ScotTories to pass their budgets.

Go and look at the news.
It happened.
They've both taken criticism for it.
It was covered in several places.
The thing is; ...it's been deleted from the Wikipedia page on the first Salmond administration.

All mention of the Scottish Conservatives has been expunged and only the (separate, non budget) green agreement on appointments is mentioned.
Deleted by someone who has attempted to remain anonymous, except we can trace their IP address...
So who has been rewriting history in online sources, deleting things that are inconvenient to the SNP government and nationalist narrative?

Well; it appears it's come from the Scottish Parliament network.

I wonder if it's a SPAD, civil servant or MSP 🤔
Scotland is under online attack to nudge you to support the Nationalist agenda.

Wikipedia articles are being edited & censored with misinformation, disinformation to manipulate you.

And you are paying over a million pounds a year for the privilege.

A thread for Scots who want to be in the EU, and are considering independence as a path. What it boils down to is this; @theSNP are cowards, who don't trust Scottish Voters to make informed decisions, or rather; they know if you were informed it would expose their lies.
Brexit is their justification for independence. An independent Scotland's potential for EU membership is critical to their electoral claims.

Knowing if, how and when it might be possible is absolutely in the public interest. In your interest, OUR interests as europhile Scots
They have a detailed, taxpayer-funded, feasibility study into the timeframes of meeting the Acquis and, by extension, the Copenhagen Criteria - the #CopenhagenReport

It's existence was uncovered by a freedom of information request.

The SNP are not a pro-EU party.

They were fully prepared to take us out of the EU with a yes vote in 2014.
The SNP are not a pro-EU party.

They didn't even bother to get legal advice on our EU membership before publishing the whitepaper.
The SNP are not a pro-EU party.

They suppressed the parliamentary committee findings into an independent Scotland's potential EU membership because they were politically inconvenient. We still don't have them 6 years later.

@MhairiHunter Why not? Where to begin!

For a start every SNP politician, every opening of parliaments, wears a white rose to honour their founding faither Hugh MacDiarmid, author of 'plea for a Scottish Fascism'
@MhairiHunter Then there are the cover-ups about the EU. The party is, and has done, everything it can to keep the truth from Scots about if, how and when we could meet the Copenhagen Criteria.
@MhairiHunter Then there's the poor quality of SNP politician we get. Derek MacKay, Margaret Ferrier, Michelle Thompson, Natalie McGarry, Mark McDonald...

You never know when your representative my be jailed, disgraced or simply dissapear... With no refunds

Super poll? Super pollocks more like!
The 64% they got for the headline was stretching it a bit!

First thoughts on the findings;
Was there nobody under 22 questioned?! 100% of their respondents recorded how they voted in 2014.

Either their sample isn't representative, with no first time voters, or it's piss-poor survey question design.
On that point as well; If their sample *does* include first time voters, then at best their claim of swing in previous no voters is unsound.
And only 1% of sample said they wouldn't vote, but we know only about 80% max ever vote.
Seems unsound.

The one message I would take to pro-EU Scots who are considering supporting independence on the basis we would be in the EU is...

**I DON'T WANT YOU TO TRUST ME**

Thread. Please share.
I DON'T WANT YOU TO TRUST ME.

I want you to question, challenge and double-check for yourself everything in this research;

Politicians ask for your trust that you vote then they'll deliver on the mandate you give them; whether that's to stop brexit, put Scotland first, scrap council tax or a 3rd, 4th, 5th mandate for an indyref2... Or an oven-ready deal.

Long Read: The Copenhagen Concealment.

If you are interested in the potential of a iScot in the EU, you'l find this an informative and, I hope, a useful resource. I can promise if you read it, you will be better informed than most UK politicians!

This detailed study looks at the positions, paths, promises and problems & links to primary sources from the ScotGovt, Holyrood committees, The European Commission, EU publications & law, as well as secondary sources like quotes from politicians & media.
I analyse the process and different proposals, busting many myths, mistakes and misconceptions. It is a long read, so it has been broken down into these sections that can be individually book-marked and referred to... Here we go!
