#ScottishIndependence
Scottish independence is internationally focused, it is inclusive and open to all. We do not fear immigrants, We welcome New Scots, it's not a knee jerk reaction to anything but rather a growing sense of self-reliance and a generational move towards a self governing country for all

If the world is to avoid climate disaster we need to progress towards net zero.
We need to deploy the tools we all ready have on our door step
We need to create and roll out breakthrough technologies
Scotland can lead the world in this
We just require the powers of Independence.

The UK is top the top of international league tables for energy cost. It is now about 50 per cent more expensive than in Germany and France, and four times as expensive as in the US.
If only Scotland was a normal Independent country!

John Maclean described the Union Jack as a “butcher’s apron” that was dripping in blood"
He said this during British colonialism in Africa, Asia & beyond
Today It’s the blood of Palestinians that soaks the Union Jack as the British state supports Israel’s genocide in Gaza

Each and every day in every part of the globe people enjoy proud Scottish achievements.
Scotland has a rich history of iconic inventions & unique personality traits and traditional celebrations.
For me our proudest moment will be when Scotland regains our #ScottishIndependence

Imperialism is what the British empire stood for
Imperialism was designed to make the rich, richer and the poor poorer
To achieve this they murdered and humiliated innocent human beings across the world.
Every nation has dark pasts.
None more so than the British empire

Scots pensioners will receive up to £300 in winter fuel payments next year after a decision by the SNP Government. Scottish Labour supported Keir Starmers idea to freeze 900,000 Scottish pensioners
Anas Sarwar supported the cut then demanded the SG mitigated WFP
Cynical politics from Anas Sarwar!

In a Independent Scotland the right to free health care for every citizen must be embedded into a Scottish constitution
This is a right of every Scottish Citizen and can only be secured with Independence

If you owe the HMRC as little as 10p they will spend up to £20 to retrieve the 10p
If you owe the HMRC 10 Million they will not spend a single penny to retrieve it as they do want to upset the friends of the British Government.

Division is the enemy of progress
Every Pro Independence supporter must remind themselves of this

Boris Johnson in His new book has described Scots as work shy
He claimed Scots were happy Lockdown was extended which meant we didn’t have to go back to work
Yet another slander on the Scottish people from the ex PM
Feel the love folks!

According to the Unionists Scotland is big enough to power all of the Britain for decades to come.
Then they will tell you that we are apparently too small too wee and too poor to be a normal Independent country!
The amazing aspect is they can do this with a straight face!

What does racism achieve?

It creates violence and repression
It limits the ability of societies
It limits economic potential
It limits one’s ability to see different viewpoints
It limits our ability to make friends
It is not based in any good science
It rewards ignorance

The UK government continues to hide behind the courts to block the Scottish Government from taking any action on independence.
If you believe it is up to Scottish people to decide then show your support.
