I am beginning to hate the words, ‘the only’.

Why?

Because they embellish the truth by trying to make you believe something that is not true.

Truth is the first casualty in an Election. Politicians actually go on courses that teach them how to tell lies whilst making out it is the truth, and they get very angry if you face them with the truth in public!!!

Your weapon is the Hustings, particularly if you are going to bring up the subject of Freeports and the Que for that would be words like…tax, jobs land etc!

I could bet that almost none will know anything about them…..enjoy educating them😂😂

Of course, even Hustings can be rigged, questions pre-vetted before the meeting.

I said the other day that some people just want to read what they want to hear!

It is easier to stay with the status quo than to embrace change, especially as one gets older.

Older people might not like Politics but they do like and usually demand the truth. Finding out they have been lied to all of their lives might just switch that listening light on!

So please remember us oldies and don’t be too quick to judge!

In Salvo and Liberation, there is room for everyone.

Stop the big sell off and join!

Half-baked policies usually end up flying in the wind because they are not thought through or workable.

Voters don’t want to know theories they want to know fully costed promises…facts even!!!

…..and the only way you might…note I say ‘might’ get near the truth is to go along to a Hustings and pin the candidates down!

As more and more details of Rishis National Service policy trickle out we see it’s more mince than military!!

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/may/26/rishi-sunaks-national-service-pledge-is-bonkers-says-ex-military-chief?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR2DYYMYJLUm0caIxNmoCPN1Ki9juUxwgvI0nC6gpQBRL2lmTxvYenXcxYg_aem_Acbm_tcyOhMHur4YwBGhbIwXpmWtJs0vE2_zM5Cdi5EaEgeQh7ToIddRadJm08UD-DlYRlGjD5_U3noysujNJZPT

Compulsory but not compulsory! Military but not military pay! ….. as for the discipline part…well let’s wait and see who is up for that!

As for the rest of it…..well the think tanks haven’t even been set up yet!!! It’s all pie in the sky, fag packet politics!

For the next 6 weeks all we are going to get is…..

So, here we are only a few days into this farce and folks have already tuned out.Meanwhile here in Scotland, Salvo forges ahead….doing…not just talking!

https://salvo.scot/

With the other half of this dynamic duo…Liberation.scot.

https://liberation.scot/

And these two have been in the Hague speaking up for Scotland..

These two will never wheesht for Scotland or for Women!

There’s plenty going on, and you can be involved and have the satisfaction of knowing you are doing something for Independence even if our MPs and MSPs are not!

Scotland does indeed stand at a fork in the road and we need to differentiate between the two roads.

When I say ‘Historical’ what I mean by that is, what we have been taught in our history books and conditioned to believe!

99% of history books used in schools and colleges were written by English authors with an English perspective. Its my understanding that only ‘modern’ history is taught in schools now, hence the fact that my grandchildren who were educated in Carlisle know nothing about Hadrians Wall!

As a result, only those who have saught the truth know about Scottish history….and politics are drawn from history!

Most people believe what they read that’s why certain people buy certain newspapers….they read what they want to hear and the thought of doing otherwise terrifies them!

So they will continue along the historical road!

Then there is what I call the ‘Legal’ road, where legal documentation proves the history books to be wrong!

Eg. There was no Union of the Crowns, there was no Union of Partliaments and there is no Scottish King, and it is those three legal truths alone that terrify the Historians and the Politicians of today.

The Legal road is the Salvo road and that road leads to the ICJ….and we are on our way!

https://salvo.scot/

There are those who say Salvo are just digging up trouble, what do they mean by that?

Because if they mean digging up the truth and using that truth for change, then I say bring it on!

Forensic Criminologists dig up bones to seek evidence of a crime, Salvo digs up documents to seek historical Political crimes…. and they have found them in abundance!

Salvo is the road less travelled but the only one with a clear plan that by passes Westminster!….. lets walk it!

Political changes don’t happen overnight, they take time.

Labour’s new strapline is ‘Change’…. that’s it as far as Scotland is concerned.

No details, just Change!

Maybe they have moved into the age of enlightenment and know promises are indeed just words….so they won’t bother because they wouldn’t keep them anyway!

But lets be honest, does this not apply to every major Party?

It’s not what’s written on the leaflet that matters, it’s what’s not written that matters. The secret agendas and don’t we know all about them in Scotland?

Who voted for Freeports at the last GE, who had even heard of them?

Who even knows about them now……not many! … yet our land is being devoured by them.

If you live up in the Cromarty and Caithness area for instance, you may be surprised to know that the farm you think you own….you don’t! The house you think you own….you don’t!

You have Micheal Gove to thank for that because he decided that all lands within the Freeports areas could be bought through compulsory purchase if any of the colgomerates need your land for expansion or to build new houses for their ‘new’?? workers or roads!

When did Scotland vote for that, when did we give our SNP MSPs permission to do that…..we did not!

What we need at the very least is for Parties to publish their Manifestos showing all their Policies for the future and let us vote accordingly. That would be an attempt at Democracy for starters!

But only Direct Democracy will bring Power back to the People!

Look up Salvo.scot if you want to know more about Direct Democracy!

https://salvo.scot/

They say the camera never lies and in this case it is true and it sickens my heart.

Comfy slippers doesn’t even cut it, more like bosom buddies. A bosom buddy is someone who always has your back!

It is one thing to have this kind of relationship but quite another to plaster it all over SM.

Talk about sending out the wrong message!

But this should not surprise us because when it comes to Freeports the SNP main players are up to their necks in it.

Just as this is an awfully big SEZ!

Both are huge land grabs!!

Parliament doesnt parouge until Wednesday, these final days are referred to as the ‘washing up days’….I wonder what’s left to do?….a few more signatures on a few more contracts with the colgomerates maybe!

Kate Forbes reiterates that Scotland is open for business but remains silent about what kind of business and still refuses to put her case forward for Freeports & SEZs. We are not asking for sensitive information between businesses, but we do want to know about tax relief and who will fill the gap! Also Employment Law and conditions.

Will things change with the outgoing of Micheal Gove? Will Labour change the conditions in favour of the areas earmarked for Privitisation….I doubt it very much.

Profits before People will no doubt remain the goal of this new Red/BlueParty.

There remains one hope and with it a Party who moves forward with them.

Salvo is working hard to bring a Legal case to the ICJ Reclaiming the Rights of the Sovereign, Territorial Nation of Scotland.

Liberation.scot is the other arm of Salvo, log on at

https://liberation.scot/

… and become part of this huge movement taking Scotland by storm. [Sign the Edinburgh Proclamation 2022]

These movements are not Political….just People!

To date, the ISP is the only Party in alignment with the aims and views of both Salvo and Liberation. Hopefully, others will join in the future….we need all of Scotland working together for Scotland.

Three cheers for those members from all Independence Parties who are determined to work together for Scotland under the radar!

But it’s sad it has to be this way and that’s down to the Leadership of the Parties who think they are above others and it shows the disconnect between them and their members.

People on the whole want to be more open about what they think and how they feel without fear of recriminations.

How on earth can we achieve Independence if ordinary folk feel unable to speak freely as individuals…maybe I am lucky that my Leader allows me to speak freely, [could anyone stop me!!] but that is no doubt due to the fact that we think and believe in the same things.

Maybe, there lies the answer, make sure your Party is in alignment with all of your values. Then there can be no secrets or lies.….or stress!!!

Salvo and Liberation.scot believe in a level playing field…do you..if so join now.

Help Scotland whilst we still have a Scotland to save.

Soon we will be but a name on a map. Holyrood and Local Authorities will be stripped of Power and money due to Freeports/SEZs.

Please don’t let that happen!

Once again we see and allow Westminster to disrespect us as a Nation, and once again we see our representatives humiliated…..I call it out for what it is…..Abuse!

And as long as we accept it, we deserve it!

Why?

Because we have lost our self-respect both as a people and a Nation and we have done that through our silence.

Where is our anger, where is our passion?

Attending Marches is good but on its own, it’s not good enough!

An Election has been called, it was a surprise, yes, but then the Tories are always full of surprises….and not in a good way. This was deliberate.

So let’s use it to regain our self-respect by sending them a clear unequivocal message. One that says…were done here….were out!

Remember the game stops when we stop playing! Without Scottish MPs, Westminster falls and the Union ends….it really is that simple!

Then Holyrood really has to start working for its money and what’s more, it has to start working with the people….not the other way around.

We’ve had many Think Tanks working on plans for Independence over the years, so there must be a number of blueprints in the cupboards!!

Then there is Salvo…a work-in-progress.

https://salvo.scot/

No more idle hands in Holyrood, no more pet projects….just get on with the job your were elected to do or you will be judged in 2026!

The greatest threat to Scotland right now is the installation of Freeports & SEZs and the second greatest threat is Partisan Politics.

The sirens are wailing but no one is heeding.

The above article is really about the end of the process, the goal which always was about the privitisation of Local Authorities and the end of Local Democracy.

Towns, cities and huge acres of land owned and run by foreign private consortiums.

In Scotland we are at the beginning of the process thanks to Kate Forbes who just doesn’t seem to get it!….or does she?

There have been no open discussions in Holyrood about these Freeports etc so we have to assume all the Parties are in favour, so that leaves the new Parties and the people to take the high ground.

There can or shouldn’t be any partisan politics on this issue especially when Parties have policies in place against Freeports.

So my question is, why are some deliberately refusing to join and openly support the SalvoFreeport campaign? Which is by the way non-partisan.

It is hypocritical to lead ones members into thinking you’re against something when in reality you are not.

This matter is too important to Scotland to be playing games.

Do not dishonour Scotland, leave that to others.

It never occurred to me that there are those out there who have nothing better to do than hover over their member’s accounts to make sure they don’t tick the wrong box!

If they dare to agree with anything anyone says outwith their own Party….out comes the big black marker. Regardless of how sensible the comment may have been.

Such is the insecurity of some Political leaders these days, and these are the very same leaders who have wanted cross-party cooperation in the past.

To have to live with that kind of insecurity must cause immense strain and shattered nerves. I personally can’t think of any job on earth that would be worth that kind of hell.…but then I have never sought power for power’s sake.

There is a huge difference between seeking Leadership and seeking Power, sadly our Political leaders of today think they are one and the same.

Leadership is about bringing your people with you, Power is about control and when you need to spy on your own members to retain that kind of Power you show your weakness.

Scotland needs a restart, one with a level playing field.

A place where everyone counts and has an equal chance of succeeding in life.

I for one am grateful that Salvo and Liberation have the same vision. Time is not on my side but for our future generations, there’s everything to fight for and fight we must through every Court available.

Treaties once signed and still Legal must be honoured. No ifs no buts….

Leaflets are dropping through our letter boxes like snow off a dyke and an Election hasn’t even been called yet.

If the purpose is to bore us to death, then it’s probably working!!

The interesting news or policies have been coming from elsewhere, like Alistair Jacks’s little bombshell yesterday. So confident is he of a Unionist Party taking over Holyrood in 2026 [ I noticed he said Unionist and not Tory!!] that he has asked the Energy Secretary to advance plans for a Nuclear Plant to be built in Scotland. No mention of where though. Well I suppose if you’re going to lose your seat you may as well go out in style with a bold statement.

Then there are those who are more ‘sleekit’ trying to introduce Policies to their Party that appear interesting but may contain a hidden agenda.[Hidden within plain sight means something so obvious that it might be missed at first.]

How about Home Rule for H&I [or parts of] within an Independent Scotland? That would be a novel idea would it not, especially if that part covered the Cromarty Firth!!

Some may call it ingenuity, I call it covering your ass and your assets!

But hey, it’s all just Politics and it’s up to us all to try and wade through the mud and find some clarity.

Thank God for Salvo and Liberation, clear vision and clear plans for moving forward.

At my age I really do need life to be more simple😂
