@STVNews "He also argued that Scotland was a “stronger nation” because it was part of the United Kingdom."
I do wish they, being the corrupt cabal misrepresenting UK Government, would make up their minds!!
@STVNews The financial status of Scotland is frequently misrepresented in GERS but only serves to illustrate the case for #ScottishIndependence 🏴.
Scotland would evidently be much better off OUT of the failed union that was once the UK!
@STVNews Given the current tsunami of sleaze engulfing Tory UK Government and #LiarJohnson in particular, one wonders whether any of these so-called ministers will have time to focus on recovery post-Brexit and post-COVID!
@STVNews Just as COVID necessitated a response tailored to the specific needs of each of the four nations within the UK, so too, does the recovery.
A Tory 'one-size fits all' approach is a non-starter and would like only serve Tories, their donors, lobbyists and cronies!
@STVNews We have yet to hear any serious proposals from #LiarJohnson for tackling the threats to humanity from climate change - evidently his priority is self-preservation!
@STVNews All nations in UK have arrived at a crossroads - precipitated by Tory Brexit imposed AGAINST the will of the people, since majority of electorate voted for Pro-EU parties in GE2019.
Each nation within UK has a democratic right to exercise their right of self-determination.
@STVNews The conundrum that is Brexit, is that there is no single solution that serves the interests of ALL of the nations within UK.
Therefore, each of the four nations is entitled to exercise their right of self-determination to best serve their respective national interests.
@STVNews Any rational minded public body, mindful of its duty to serve the national interest ought to have no difficulty in abiding by outcomes of democratic processes.
They would recognise that different outcomes across nations does not preclude cooperation on areas of common ground.
@STVNews In the event, of #ScottishIndependence 🏴, whereby Scotland's people chose to exercise their right of self-determination as a sovereign kingdom, once again, the UK Government could find no common ground on which to cooperate then, evidently this concludes the end of the Union.
@STVNews However...#ScottishIndependence 🏴, WILL give everyone that calls Scotland, 'Home', the right to say what kind of future they want for themselves, their children and for future generations.
The future of Scotland 🏴, is for Scots to define, with priorities that meet THEIR needs.
"Failures in the UK’s pandemic response are not hard to identify, but on one front the Government’s success is undeniable: persuading a fearful nation to stay locked indoors for much of the past year."
"But the problem with fear, as one behavioural scientist said on Friday, is that “you can’t turn it on and off like a tap”."
"Whether frightening the public was a deliberate – or honest – tactic has become the subject of intense debate, and dozens of psychologists have now accused ministers of using “covert psychological strategies” to manipulate the public’s behaviour."
"Boris Johnson's former deputy has said the Prime Minister is an "embarrassing buffoon" in a damning new book."
"In his memoir In The Thick Of It, Sir Alan Duncan also criticises former PMs Theresa May and David Cameron."
"As well as describing the PM as "a clown with an untidy mind", the author claims there was a row over a report about diplomats treating him as an "international joke"."
"The book reads: "He is a clown, a self-centred ego, an embarrassing buffoon, with an untidy mind and sub-zero diplomatic judgement."
"This situation began with an extremely serious issue. The mishandling of an investigation into sexual harassment allegations. And I honestly wish that everyone’s focus had remained on that issue."
"But what we’ve seen since then has been the deliberate, systematic and entirely cynical exploitation of that issue to suit motives which are all too apparent today."
"The media in Scotland and throughout the UK is awash with speculation about the Sturgeon/Salmond psychodrama. The coverage of this has been culminated by one question, what does this mean for the independence cause?"
Many accuse #Tories of being out of touch with reality and people's everyday lives BUT the reality is that #LiarJohnson and his cabal in UK Government are from another planet!!
