‘Bland’ is not good enough. Just being ‘not the Tories’ is not good enough. Especially when your policies are becoming increasingly like the Tories. And you tell us you’re just going to pick up where the Tories left off when you enter government.
I'm incensed to see #Starmer say ”Winning the trust of people across past divides, such as leave and remain, or yes and no in Scotland, is vital.”
#Brexit and #Scottish independence are not past divides, they're current. Leaving the #EU has been a disaster which in no way resembles the promises of the Leave campaign. #Scotland deserves to be able to reassess the union as so much has changed since the #independence vote a decade ago.
@patrickharvie I was intending on switching my vote in the general election from SNP to green (as I can't in conscience vote for Joanna Cherry).
Green always got my councillor vote and second list vote in Scotland elections.
If the green party go for no confidence and side with the Tories you will also lose my vote for good.
Just so you know.
Sincerely
Not even English.. 👀Apparently St George was made the patron Saint because he stood with courage to face adversity in order to defend the innocent. The triumph of good over evil, through courage. Absolutely the opposite of the evil Conservatives we are governed by today! Not for long now though..🤞#independence#scottishindependence#youyesyet
Serbia used to dominate Yugoslavia, and was very well off due to that. Nowadays, Croatia and Bosnia's economies are making bank, and Serbia is left in the doldrums because political dominance and siphoning wealth was all they had going. Which explains why Serbia fought so hard in the nineties to keep them under her thumb.
In the last week or so, I've noticed that mastodon.social has started hiding the profiles of basically harmless #scottish#independence accounts, whilst leaving what are obviously pro-Putin disinfo accounts visible.
Does anyone know what's going on with the admin, and who do I talk to?
In not-unrelated news, it may finally be time for me to get off my arse and move to a smaller server. Does anyone have a good guide on how to do that as of early 2024?
King Charles gives himself a whopping pay rise from £86.3mn last year and to £124.8mn in 2025-26
The Crown Estate, which controls the monarchy’s legacy portfolio of assets, is set to earn more than £8bn up to 2031 from a boom in revenues from offshore wind projects. This is because since 1964 the estate owns the seabed up to 12 nautical miles from Britain’s coast. This is more money being stolen from the Scottish people! #NotMyKing#independence#scottishindependence#youyesyet
This is just a political stunt on behalf of the Scottish Labour Party (where she has donated to) She is against #independence and is doing this for no other reason. PS she also donated to Trump in the past!! That says it all!! It’s not in my nature to hate anyone but she surely annoys me.. 🤨 #scottishindependence#youyesyet
This might be a nice place for my next #SolarPower installation. South facing barn roof, almost no shading. Easily fits 10kWp. It would mostly feed to grid as the farm itself has very low power demand.
Just 5 km behind those birches in the background is #Russia, where 70% of Finnish primary energy used to come from. This could be my tiny contribution for #independence.
She knew perfectly well that she wasn't dressed the way she was "supposed" to be for where she was, in the same way that she didn't believe the way she was "supposed" to believe nor live her life and pursue her interests and dreams the way she was "supposed" to do.
But because she knew her own mind, she didn't pay attention to the voices of conformity.
Today in Labor History March 23, 1931: The authorities hanged Bhagat Singh, Shivaram Rajguru and Sukhdev Thapar for killing a deputy superintendent of police during the Indian Independence movement. Singh was a anti-colonial revolutionary, from Punjab, who was inspired by both Bolshevism and anarchism.
Per #CoreyRobin: Thomas ‘sees something of value in the social worlds of slavery and Jim Crow,’ not because he endorses bondage ‘but because he believes that under those regimes African Americans developed #virtues of #independence and habits of #responsibility, practices of self-control and #institutions of #patriarchal self-help, that enabled them to #survive and sometimes #flourish.’
I’m understanding how #ClarenceThomas developed his renegade streak.
Today in Labor History March 11, 1858: The Great Indian Mutiny, also known as the Sepoy Rebellion, ended with massacres by the British. 6,000 British troops died in the fighting. However, at least 800,000 Indians died in the fighting and from the famines and epidemics that resulted.
Won’t take them long to put a tent in Humza’s front yard! The media and Westminster will stop at nothing to put an end to #ScottishIndependence A vote for SNP is a vote for freedom! #youyesyet#independence
