Scots, English, fluent Spanish and less fluent French speaking supporter of #ScottishIndependence, profoundly opposed to #Brexit.

Trying not to be carnaptious all of the time - family, friends, single malt, photography, books, travel, music, cycling and walking help keep me sane.

I feel obliged quite frequently to post gentle reminders here that the electorate in the UK isn’t just limited to the Tories (blue red and orange) and that voters in NI, Scotland and Wales have other choices too.

Now it’s been announced ITV will stage a televised debate ahead of the UK General Election featuring only Sunak and Starmer. Their parties don’t even stand in Northern Ireland.

ITV can shove its "debate" up its hoop.

If the SNP can tackle child poverty in Scotland why can’t Labour in England? https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2024/05/29/if-the-snp-can-tackle-child-poverty-in-scotland-why-cant-labour-in-england/ The SNP, working within the constraints laid down by the Tories in Westminster, have done more to tackle child poverty in Scotland than Labour is planning to do in England. Why is that? Could it be that caring about the issue makes a difference?

If you live in the UK or USA, you need to understand one thing about the coming election:

You need to vote defensively.

Neither of the main parties are appealing. But if you don't vote for the lesser evil you may end up helping a totalitarian horror get elected.

Hold your nose and goddamn vote, dammit. THEN go on protests. Because if you don't vote for the lesser evil, the victor will welcome your protests with bullets.

The prize for political purity this time round is a shallow grave.

I live in Scotland. As in Northern Ireland and Wales we have options here beyond the Tories (blue and red and orange).

I refuse to be subsumed into the Anglo-British nationalist Greater England when it comes to politics, or anything else for that matter.

The UK isn't just England. When is that going to cut through?

Incredibly quick and fortuitously timely that they got this all sorted out. Well done them. 👏

Douglas Ross: Election can end Scottish independence push 'for good'

https://www.thenational.scot/news/24348563.douglas-ross-election-can-end-scottish-independence-push-for-good/

In your wet dreams Rossie boy. When 50% or more Scots wish for independence they will not be forced into your unionists box any time soon…

Mushroom politics (keep them in the dark and feed them shit)
