Remember that Union of Equals we are supposed to be in? Yet more proof that it’s just a myth. The have always viewed as a mere region of England. Feel the love and respect.

Tory ministers wanted Scotland treated 'as a region of England' thenational.scot/news/23718555

I’m confused. How can Rishi grant more licences to drill oil from the North Sea when everyone i Scotland knows the oil ran out years ago? There can’t possibly be any left. We were told it was running out by Better Together.
Or did they lie?

There’s a double dose of Spider stuff in Issue 85 of iScot Magazine. It’s out now in digital format. As well as my usual Talking Tech, looking at orientation apps, I’ve got some comments on a recent Channel 4 programme about people trying to cope with no vision. Spoiler: the programme was dreadful.

The Tory line seems to be that nothing can be done to alleviate poverty or climate change until the "cost of living crisis" that they created is over. Unfortunately that also appears to be Labour policy.

50% of Scots agree that Scotland should be an independent country. How come 95% of 'Scottish' media still present it as a daft fringe idea?

I just came across this great essay again - "Bye Bye Britain" by Neal Ascherson in the 24/9/2020 edition of The London Review of Books.

It's tremendous, as you'd expect from a journalist of Ascherson's calibre. He simply nails it.

"In Scotland’s 2014 referendum campaign, one apparently humble word became the deadliest weapon. The word was ‘normal’."

🤦‍♂️ People wonder why should be independent. This is another reason to add to the list... This is what you sign up for if you vote , and this will carry on under a @UKLabour government too, Starmers busy making the party to be to get from Tory voters, while licking the arse of ...

A happy Independence Day to the USA. During your drive to become a separate nation, the UK insisted the colonies were too wee & too poor to become independent.
They’re saying the same about Scotland now.

I’m disappointed that I can’t get to the pro-Indy march today. I thought I was all set to go with a sighted guide, but family commitments have altered my plans at the last minute.
To those who do go, I’ll be with you in spirit. Same for the pro-Republic events in Edinburgh & elsewhere.

And, after 3 centuries of this glorious Union, the best Unionists can say about Scotland is that we are an economic failure. Maybe it’s time we tried something different: like becoming a normal, self-governing country.

Vote Labour for:
Continued support for Brexit
Continued support for keeping Scotland under Westminster control.
Continuation of Tory policies.
Lack of support for striking workers.

Paper copies of issue 82 of iScot Magazine should be arriving any day now. There’s a double dose of articles from me in this issue, but there are plenty of other excellent articles about Scotland.

Polling is fun, but there is only one poll that counts - the actual vote. When are we going to be 'allowed' to have one?
