I have been sitting listening to this afternoons session at the SSRG conference, in particular about the next steps. Sara said something that made me think, not for the first time I may add!!

It was about motivating people…..firing up their passion! Offering them something distinct other than just using the word ‘Independence!

The people of Scotland have been robbed of their identity, robbed of their rights and robbed of the land they stand on. Not to mention everything under it and the sea.

We don’t need Reform we need a Rebirth.

We need to learn to feel good again, right from the heart.

We need to take a good look at where we are and why. We are all in the same boat held back by the anchor of Westminster. Our boat is sinking. Living standards are dropping, local services are diminished and as much as the Scot government shores up the SNHS, believe me, between Labour and Reform, it will change and not for the better.

Liberation Scotland offers a solution that will take Scotland off on another path.

A word to the wise, though: Do not confuse those supporting Liberation Scotland [the umbrella organization ]with the parties putting up Candidates, they are not the same! [ Liberation Scotland, Salvo, or SSRG are not political parties!]

We need to remind people of who they are and what they have at their fingertips.

This is not a game, it is a game-changer. Everything is up for grabs. Why beg for crumbs when we, yes we, own the whole shop?

Why is the pensioner sitting wrapped in blankets to keep warm when Scotland is so energy rich?

Why are families starving when farmers are having to destroy their crops because we must??? Import food from other countries?

So many wrongs could be righted if we all got behind the only train moving…..the Liberation train.

Remember this?

They said the entry in Hansard was an accident…..these kinds of things don’t happen by accident…..not at that level, they were found out, telling their truth because as it turns out, we are indeed just a colony…..a sub-region!

Are you happy with that?

If not, join the rest of us…

If we Scots are anything, it is that we are persistent and we are not going to give up…..not ever!

The world is watching and even our press are beginning to notice something is happening. So you can bet your last £ Westminster won’t be sitting on its hands. They will be busy behind the scenes talking to diplomats…..but how much influence does the UK brand have now? The ‘Great’ in GB has disappeared.

Our participation in foreign wars is deplored by many former colonies, potentially making it easier for Liberation Scotland to get support at the UN.

Of course, Westminster will pull out all the stops, including bribes and threats but something tells me we will have friends and they will be friends with honour…..a word not associated with British politics!

Former Colonies gained their freedom through persistence and we will follow the same route. Sadly this route is not recognized by the SNP…..I wonder why?

Liberation Scotland has planted a new seed and we must make sure it grows, why?

Because Scotland is a prisoner in this very British Democracy and it’s killing us.

Our future is ‘wide open’, Scotland’s history is still being written, but we must make sure this time that the pen is in our hands not Westminsters.

As the exciting news from the SSRG Conference filters out, now is the time to build momentum. There is still time for other small parties to come under the umbrella, the notion is catching on, and the people love it!

Politics and football have one thing in common when it comes to emotions. They both take us on an emotional roller coaster….. assuming you are a fan of course!…..and if you’re a fan of both…..heaven help you😅😅

May is always the end of the football season and next May we will also have the Scottish Elections…so I for one will be an emotional wreck, no matter what the outcomes are!

Emotions only come into play if you care about something, and I care deeply about Scotland and its people. It matters to me that we have been lied to for hundreds of years.

It matters to me that we are still being lied to, even by our own goverment.

It matters to me that this SNP Government are about to step in an overturn the democratic wishes of the people around Loch Lomond.

This could never happen in a country whose politics revolve around Direct Democracy. In these countries, the People say what happens, and this could happen in Scotland if we have the courage to change the system.

We currently have a Representative Democracy, but the problem is that once we vote these people in, our wishes are no longer represented. Party Politics takes over with agendas we have never even heard of and certainly never voted for.

In football clubs, if the manager doesn’t deliver, he is sacked. In Politics a Party that doesn’t deliver just hangs around like a bad smell making all our lives miserable!

Liberate Scotland and those campaigning under its banner offer something different from the norm, they believe in Direct Democracy as well as Independence…..the perfect marriage!

If you believe as I do that Scotland is more than able to stand alone in this world, then liberation.scot and Salvo are the places where you can get involved, have your say and be heard!

Join today…

When I see pictures like this I am reminded that nothing is impossible.

Every Political Party and every Freedom movement started because someone had a dream…….a dream of change. The aspiration that we could do things differently. And every one of them that has been successful one way or another had to break through the impossible….the rocks.

Liberate Scotland is no different, the rocks will be there, be it internally or externally you can be sure they will be there…..but these seeds are strong and carry with them the hopes and dreams of Scotland.

We can all dream but there comes a time when we have to wake up and face reality, and the reality is…..dreams don’t just happen, they require some assistance.

We Scots tend to be quite laid-back, sometimes too laid-back and now is not the time for that….even if the sun is shinning😅😅

We are also very good at creating our own problems and one sure way of doing that is to sit back and expect a few to do all the work. Gaining Independence will take every like-minded person to do their bit, be it in an organization or individually.

If you’re not able to physically do anything you can just hit the share button on everything you agree with….get the message out there! You have power at your fingertips!!

Sometimes life throws bricks at us, and when that happens we have two choices, to stay crushed under the pile or use them to rebuild and refocus!

Be the one who helps get things done!

Some gaps just have to be filled!

As Parties announced their Candidates for 2026, it has become clear that many Independence supporters will have no one to vote for, given that they are determined to never Vote for the SNP again and Alba not standing in any Constituencies.

The danger of not filling these gaps is if they don’t have an alternative to vote for they wouldn’t bother to come out and vote which in turn would also affect the List vote.

The gap has to, where possible be filled and that is what is happening under the Liberate Scotland umbrella. Ordinary people stepping up offering that alternative.

There are still gaps that need to be filled….will you fill one?

For many of us, age is now a barrier and it is healthy to be able to admit that fact but that doesn’t mean we ‘oldies’ are a busted flush….we still have a voice, and we can still encourage others, even spot talent when we see it….and I see so much talent at every meeting I attend.

John Swinney has just said Scotland does not have the political means to achieve Independence, so what is his answer…….raise the bar to 75% in the polls! Blinkers on, no ambition whatsoever to seek another route……our way or no way!

Well, he is in for a surprise because the word is out, that there is another route and the People are taking it!

Scotland’s political scene is in desperate need of CPR…..2026 will be the opportunity for that to happen.

Please don’t wake up the day after the Election and say, ‘If only I had….’ Make a conscious decision today to be part of the change taking place.

Don’t let other people kill your dream for Scotland, stand tall along with the rest of us and make it happen in 2026. Our FM may keep moving the goalposts, but he is not the only game in town.

I was listening to a Politician from across the pond the other day and what he said has stayed in my head ever since. The conversation was around what Politicians do and say, these were his words “We all like to cheat”!

If ever there was a reason as to why the world is in such a mess, this is surely it.

From wars to failed domestic policies cheating is the root cause. We, the people are never told the truth, only the perceived good is shown, and the picture painted of Freeports is a perfect example.

When it comes to politics, cheating is only cheating when you get caught and even then it will be air-brushed out.

Lying and cheating have now become the bedrock of British politics, indeed world politics and because of it, it would not take much to tip us over into WW111.

When a party’s cheating turns into terrorising its own people….then they become the terrorists!

Scotland is in a unique position, next year we will have the opportunity to change the course of our history. We can either remain with the status quo or choose a different road entirely by choosing Direct Democracy and Liberation.

Don’t sit back and say you are fed up with Politics when the answer lies in your own hands!

Don’t sit back wondering what the future holds, when you have been shown the road to Scotland’s recovery!

Don’t sit back expecting others to do everything for you when you know the word everyone…means you are included!

In short……don’t sit back….get up and be part of the change because without you……change won’t happen!

People in general cheat to gain an advantage, so they embellish the facts to make something look or sound better……we don’t need to do that when talking Scotland up! The facts are there for all to see, therefore there is no reason for us to cheat!

There is no excuse for Scotland not to go it alone…..unless you make one!

Make Scotland Great Again by motivating the ‘great’ in yourself!

Liberate Scotland have announced their first 10 Candidates.

If you want to be part of this new venture, then climb aboard…..The question is not ‘why bother’ but WHY NOT?

Why not be one of those prepared to stop the rot?

Just believe in yourself!

It’s time to raise the flag and raise our game!

In the coming days, those campaigning under the Liberation umbrella will be announcing their candidates for the 2026 Holyrood Election. More may follow….hopefully.

The Parties involved have listened to their members and the general YES movement so, candidates are also going to stand in some Constituencies. This is a new venture but a very necessary one.

Yesterday I was at an event at the Bannockburn battlefield. If there is one thing I have learned in life it is, that at these kind of events, the people who are meant to be there….will be there!

When people will travel as far afield as Peterhead & Aberdeen to share a picnic with you……you know you are getting something right!!

Listening to conversations on the field and off I heard passion and vision from various different factions and no arguments😅….

All things are possible when we try, but the main message was, that we must not give up!

Over the next few weeks, a lot of announcements will be made from various groups. It’s a bit like waiting for a bus: You wait for ages, then 2 or even 3 all come at once!!

So, as we all get into gear for 2026, let us remember exactly what we are fighting for….the Liberation of Scotland, for the people, by the people!!

Decisions, we make them every day sometimes all day! But now and then we are called upon to make big ones. Ones that will affect our lives every day, possibly for the rest of our lives.

The 2026 Scottish Elections will be one of those days not only for individuals but also for Scotland.

Will we move forward or backwards?

This Election will be very different from any other because new possibilities regarding our route to Independence have come to the fore, and they don’t involve Westminster. At least not in the way a S30 does.

S30 is the Scottish government’s A1 route which is closed!…..and no amount of begging is going to open it again. We must change our focus and stop looking back with that wistful look…..it ain’t going to happen!

Accepting reality is the first step to moving forward.

The reality is that there is a different route to Independence, and the Liberate Scotland campaign, which will soon be launched, will show that route. It’s different……but ‘different’ is not wrong! What is wrong, is hanging on to something that doesn’t work and the inability to say ‘We need to look at this differently’!

Think of Scotland as a blank canvas and be creative as you paint it in your mind. The possibilities are endless….why….. Because we have an abundance of assets to work with.

But….I can hear you say, we will have to borrow billions…yes, set up costs will be enormous. There isn’t a country in the world that doesn’t borrow but we at least have the collateral to back those loans up.

At the moment Westminster uses Scottish resources to back up their loans…..and still, they can’t balance the books!!

Our spending priorities will differ greatly to Westminsters, especially around Defence!!

A little bit of creativity and the right people in the right jobs will change Scotland forever.

The Dream is in our grasp, we just have to be brave enough to take the steps required.

In 2026 we can change the Political map…..just believe and do it!!

The use of the ‘could’ in the above press statement means nothing to me given their past mandates and I guess from the comments many others feel the same way.

Politicians can only fool people for so long and given the incumbent MSPs have already admitted the door is closed, ‘could’ is not good enough!

We need to clear the decks completely! We have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

2026 will not be about SNP v Labour, it will be about Liberation or continuity! The choice will be ours.

Are we brave enough……yes we are!!

All, MPs who were rejected by their constituents at the GE, irrespective of Party should take the hint……Holyrood is not your new gravy train!!

We need a new kind of Holyrood in Scotland, one that is nobody’s ‘gravy train’!!… and Direct Democracy would provide that!

The future is ours to create. Every dream must be created and if Independence for Scotland is your dream then you must help create it!

Your vote will be the final say but the work must start now.

The umbrella is up and others are joining in the talks.

Consensus and compromise go hand in hand….

Offering peanuts to people when the whole farm is available just makes a government look so inept.

Only a vague reference about Independence from our SNP Government. Yet we know and they know the resources Scotland would have if we were an Independent country. Is getting rid of Peak Fares the best they can do in this asset-rich country? Not much of a rabbit!!

The blinkers are still on even though they admit a Sec 30 will never be granted. Unanswered questions invite conspiracy theories and there are plenty of those swirling around, so come on honest John… what is the plan for Independence and if no plan…..why?

But are the other Independence Parties also aiming too low? The suggestion to Vote SNP 1 suggests to me that we believe only the SNP can deliver Independence……but they haven’t and won’t! So maybe the others need to aim higher and stand in Constituencies. Why do half a job when we could go even further?

If we want real change we must be radical and we must be brave. We only have a year to get this right. At the rate Scotland is being privatised, we can not afford to wait another 5 years!!

This ‘Better Together’ lark hasn’t worked very well so far, can you honestly see it improving? Having said that I am pretty sure Labour will fire a few carrots at us as we near the Election date. But as we have seen before, never believe the headlines. The Brexit headlines had us believe it was all about Trade…..it was anything but!!

Don’t forget the promises that were made!
