The Grangemouth refinery was important to Scotland but not to the UK and therefore was expendable while the chemical plant is vital to the rest of UK. That’s why it was saved, writes Kenny MacAskill ✍️

This is fantastic writing. So good, I think folk that don't even give a fuck about Hearts or even football would enjoy it. The Cammy Devlin paragraph is sensational. "Gorgie was louder than war". Incredible.
The Slow Match Report: Hearts 2 Rangers 1
Last Christmas, Hearts gave us a bleak draw with Moldovan minnows. This year, they're streaking ahead of their domestic rivals... even Sir Walter Scott couldn't have made it up

sorry Ian but being humiliated is part of the job of being a scottish unionist politician. you have to bow and scrape to a party, a government, a country that doesn’t give a fuck about us or you. don’t complain when they then dispose of you without a thought. it was inevitable.

Putting aside why the British Government's "Christmas Bonus" has been fixed at £10 for decades, why does it continue to classify a state pension as a "benefit" not an entitlement?

Christmas Bonus
The Christmas Bonus is a one-off tax-free £10 payment to people who get certain benefits - what you'll get, eligibility, how to claim

You're mistaken. Scotland raised 91.4bn in 24/25. We were given back via the Barnett formula 44.5bn. Does that sound like England and Wales are subsidizing Scotland? You've been fooled by the media. Scotland doesn't need or want nuclear. We generate more electricity than we need using renewables.

Child poverty in Scotland has fallen to its lowest level in three decades, with both absolute and relative rates continuing to sit well below the UK average. For 2023–24, those rates were 22% and 17% respectively – 9% lower than the UK’s 31% and 26%

Listening to this budget all I can hear is Reeves doing what every other English MP does and that is to throw sarcasm and hatred towards the our Scottish Gov. She states she will give Scotland money! Bloody cheek we give them money and get a pittance back. No other country is given this attitude.

If the UK government are so obsessed with nuclear weapons why not move them to the south of England.
Can the UK gov ever fucking stop spouting absolute shit? The only place an independent Scotland would be a "win" for is Scotland itself.

It'll take more than a little paedophilia to bring down the British monarchy, still too many forelock tuggers and cap doffers who bow and scrape to them, once Scotland has independence we will vote for a Republic and be rid of the parasitical nonce's for good.
