No second state visit for Trump
This is UNBELIEVABLE. Keir Starmer has just handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and I was so outraged when I he...

Yesterday an English billionaire of German descent visited a foodbank in Alloa, cos-playing a Scotsman going to a wedding. Charles Windsor didn't visit to make a million pound donation. He didn't even donate a packet of Duchy Originals Organic Highland All Butter Shortbread fingers.

The English king throwing on a kilt to visit a food bank in Scotland - which should be one of the richest countries in Europe - is a metaphor for the union. Time to bin it. #Yes
"Charles could cover the entire costs of delivering that estimated cost of Trussell Trust food parcels for the entirety of Scotland for a year with just 1% of his wealth, or with less than a quarter of what he is given by the British State every year (£86.3m)."

This is why King Charles really visited the Scottish food bank
The visit is an emblem of the gulf between the image he intends to project and the reality of the people he rules over from a golden throne.

Whatever you think of Independence or the SNP you should remember all the changes in Scotland since devolution which have improved the life of ordinary Scots. This is just one small example, with full Independence we could do so much more.
