The phrase ‘all systems go’ usually means a powerful government that controls people’s lives, apparently.

So ‘system’ in the sense that I am using it is government and I often refer to it as such.

So it was interesting this morning to hear a blogger say that the ‘ISP is not a Scottish Party because they took part in the Westminster GE, so they have become part of the system’……my response was a mixture of laughter and well….you can imagine 😅

So, let me very briefly strip down that half-witted suggestion.

Firstly Westminster and Holyrood are the only systems we have to work with at this time.

Secondly, accepting Westminster as the ‘system’, is not Holyrood also part of that system?… and no-one should know that better that the person who was part of the Stirling Directive!

Accepting that premise then, why would he or any other Party stand in the 2026 Holyrood Elections?…..because it is the only system we have!!

The ISP will never take an Oath to a foreign King. There can be no greater Scottish protest than that!

So, let us move on from this absurdness and together stand on one thing alone….Sovereignty!

Scotland first.
