Like many Scots, and I don't profess to speak for all, I will tomorrow Monday the 19th of September 2022 be doing what I might normally be doing.
That is to say I will be trying to navigate a course that avoids the disastrous economic and cultural impacts English colonial dominion continues to gift my country.
I am neither in celebration nor mourning.
I am however disappointed that an unelected medieval institution based on elitism, privilege and when necessary brute force, is, in the 21st centaury, still seen by some as a progressive model around which to build a just and equitable democracy.
I shall take time however at some point in the day to read again the following article, I recommend it to you.

When the so-called “Leader of the opposition” opposes protest against a new unelected head of state, out of respect for the previous unelected head of state, you know you live under totalitarianism. Except almost all dictatorships do at least have the form of an election. Indeed, some of the wor...

The ALBA Party has reported tweets apparently suggesting physical threats against their female candidates to Police Scotland. The reported tweets included those from a male Scottish Greens candidate for the North East of Scotland. Scotland deserves better than online bullies threatening people.

Lynne Sneddon
Duncan Woodward : u really are hood winked by Alex SALMOND

Duncan Woodward
Lynne Sneddon : nothing to do with AS or NS.
It’s to do with science and facts.

As a person who has intimate experience with colonialism and how it operates I can assure you that voting SNP 1&2 is your English masters preferred choice, given you will not be
voting for one of their English colonial parties.

The facts are simple, if you want to maintain the status quo, which has not moved the constitutional issue forward one iota in 7 years, nor has offered anything concrete for the near future, vote SNP 1&2.

If however, like many and with nothing to do with personalities, you want a super majority of Indy seats in Holyrood that will bring the issue of independence back into the forefront of Scottish politics regardless of the current obfuscation by the SNP leadership, then you should vote SNP1 ( note: no-one is suggesting not to vote SNP1 which will make them by far the biggest party in Holyrood ) & ALBA2, which will deliver a powerful pro Indy super-majority and significantly reduce the unionist opposition.

In this recommendation you’ll note that at no point have I had to refer to anything AS or anyone else thinks or has said.
It’s simply the science of numbers applied to the current situation.
No hoodwinking.
Just rational.
A decision based on faith or science.
Your choice.
I know what I'll be choosing.

Arguably the most misunderstood part of the UK public sector budgeting mechanism is the Barnett Formula. The vast majority of people, politicians and the media seem to think that Barnett represents a subsidy to Scotland. Many Westminster MPs (mainly Conservatives) have described it as English taxpay...
