The Anglo State hate and fear Nicola Sturgeon because she demonstrated competence and convinced Scots to believe in our country’s ability to govern ourselves therefore at every opportunity they and our own unionist press and politicians continue to do her down. Therefore they took her down!

The U.K. government hold the purse strings so Scottish govt had to wait for the funds to enable lockdown. Also devolved govts kept out of decision making and often ridiculed though turned out to be right.

So clear - UK policy and Exxon-Mobil greed mean we have no strategic capacity. And Mr Shanks and Mr Sarwar will be as much use to Scotland as the proverbial chocolate teapot. English Labour doesn’t give a **** about Scotland. Bring on the Indy election 26.

100% agree. The nuclear legacy is the mess that is Sellafield. The mess that is ROsyth with decaying old nuc subs etc. They are just passing on problems for future generation while enriching industry vested interests with the latest push for nuclear.

It was ever thus.
Some politicians are trying to get you to worry about migrants, woke, trans people.
