Scotch Whisky has been a Westminster Cashcow for 202 years, and is 25% of all UK Food and Drink Exports!

Dounreay nuclear power station last produced electricity 30+ years ago, yet decontamination is expected to last until the 2070s and cost £8Bn, with full decontamination of the site estimated to take more than 300 years. Now Westminster wants to build *more* nuclear power stations in Scotland.

Every single one was from the pro Brexit minority
47 were from UKIP/BP

What this article doesn't point out - because it's not news - is the fact that our Scottish Government is at no point consulted or informed about British budget planning. It finds out when we do. And then has little time to re-plan its own budget to fit.

The BBC has been conducting an unashamed propaganda campaign against the SNP for years. To suggest that they need to survive for the purpose of upholding truth is absurd, and an affront to those of us here, who have been subjected to their relentless propaganda during this time.

In 2014 Nick Robinson of the BBC edited a clip of Alex Salmond, claiming that he "Didn't answer a question." Salmond had actually given a long and detailed answer. They edited the clip to make it appear that he hadn't. Any suggestion that BBC journalists are impartial is ridiculous. 1/
