Many people who voted for Brexit in 2016 and who voted Tory in 2019 did so from a desire to "Take Back Control" of our Laws, our Money and our Borders!... 1/10
If you did vote that way, with…Northern Ireland kicking off again? Restaurants and Shops experiencing shortages? Livestock being killed but not slaughtered as they have gone unsold? Is this what you had in mind?... 2/10
Did you want to "Take Back Control" of our Laws so that Boris and Co. could suppress democracy by illegally proroguing Parliament, or with their Voter ID plans?... 3/10
Did you want to "Take Back Control" of our Money so that Boris and Co. could find new and innovative ways to funnel Public Money into Private Pockets for products and services which were sub-standard?... 4/10
Did you want to "Take Back Control" of our Borders so that Boris & Co. could manage them so poorly that 18,000,000 people could arrive in the UK without as much as a temperature check during a Global Pandemic?... 5/10
If you have voted Tory you haven't "Taken Back Control" of anything, in fact you've "Given Up Control".
All of this has happened because of one inescapable reality, Boris Johnson is not in control, his donors are... 6/10
If you are satisfied with the billionaires who fund the Conservative Party being more powerful than the electorate then you know where to cast your vote... 7/10
But it's not too late, there is another way...
The only way to "Take Back Control" is for us not to be ruled by Boris Johnson and his Cabinet of Incompetence.... 8/10
And with Sir Keir Starmer desperately groping around in the dark trying to reconnect with his party's traditional base the UK Labour Party are not going to be the solution to this problem... 9/10
So for us Scots the only way to really "Take Back Control" is for Scotland to be an Independent Country.
1) We try to focus our twitter feed, debunking the Unionist Parties, promoting our Party & Elected Members, Social Justice issues and obviously the idea of Independence…
We try to stay out of any "Indy Infighting" as we see it as counterproductive and not advancing the cause…
2) So this twitter thread is one of the most awkward we have ever had to write.
Because, and especially in this community we have benefitted mightily from having had Alex Salmond as our Party Leader...
For a long time as our Local MP...
And for a shorter spell as our MSP...
3) Alex was Formidable & Effective and it's hard not to admire his wider achievements, as a matter of fact we still do.
But when we saw this video emerge, followed by similar media appearances throughout this week we could stay silent no longer…
1) Our chum @RishiSunak has made the 5 pledges in this photo. And at first glance it appears a reasonable plan... but if you look a little deeper...
2) Halving inflation - well according to the OBR and other financial think tanks that's going to happen anyway (even when @trussliz was PM) and without Gov't Intervention so thanks for nothing Rishi!
3) Grow the economy - The CBI and OBR both forecast the economy returning to growth next year without Gov't Intervention
(because let's face it when you've crashed it already it can only grow): only the Bank of England doesn't agree
1) It's now becoming clear that Brexit was never going to save the Scottish Seafood Sector!
And that our Fishermen’s futures….. as expected…. Have been sacrificed on the altar of the wider UK/EU Trade Deal…
2) while the CFP was flawed Mr Park highlights areas here where it could have offered opportunities (trading in unused quota) which Scottish Fishermen are now denied by virtue of being an Independent Coastal State...
3) It's often said that the enemy of your enemy is your friend, if you are a Fisherman and you perceived the EU as your enemy, and saw the @Conservatives as their enemy then it was an easy conclusion to come to that they would be your friend…
1) Well folks it's the Anniversary of Brexit today…. 3 years ago the Brexiteers were excitedly awaiting 23:00hrs as we would leave the EU at that point.
2) We couldn't leave at Midnight due to the time difference between the UK and the Continent, the fact that we even had to leave on the EU's timetable should have been a warning…
alas it was not heeded.
3) So after 3 years how is it going?... We'd have to say… not well.
As a member of the EU the UK had trade deals with all of the other 194 countries in the world…
There is at least one large hotel away up here in Peterhead which is currently closed to the public, under the control of the Home Office, currently being staffed by one of their outsourcing cronies, housing Immigrants.
Many towns in Scotland are also housing immigrants. 2.6
My child has been playing in the local park with their children. Our local football team @pfcofficial have invited asylum seekers to matches and even given them the full on hospitality treatment. 3/6
