Realism is in the eyes of the beholder. We each have different realities depending on what we see and experience.

But what is Scotlands reality?

We are discovering that it is not what has been written in the history books. A light has been shed on our true history…..but does that change anything in the psyche of the ordinary Scot?

I don’t know about you, but I get furious knowing that I have been lied to my entire life. Even my education was a lie.

There is no doubt that through the work of Salvo, a fire has been ignited in the hearts and minds of the Yes movement. It is now time to fan those flames.

The idea behind Liberate Scotland is to do just that.

LS is made up of people who will not give in when the going gets tough. They will fight tooth and nail for what is right for Scotland.

Their reality and focus are razor sharp….Independence first and last.

When people unite, governments start to fear and out pops the ‘dirty tricks box’. But fear produces panic and panic produces mistakes.

Our job now is to watch out for those mistakes and challenge them. Has Kate Forbes just made one in asking the members not to discuss currency? When you start telling people what they can and cannot talk about, people start asking a bigger question.

Campaigns should have the word ‘flexibility’ written into them.

…… because in politics, not everything goes to plan.

We in Scotland must be flexible not only to worldwide changes but also to domestic ones.

So, ‘Stay Cool’ who knows where this journey is going to take us.

Life for many appears pretty chaotic just now. From chaos on the streets to financial chaos, as the Chancellor seeks to see how much more she can squeeze out of us, to fill her black hole.

Nothing feels normal anymore, but all this didn’t just happen by accident. Chaos happens when people change their behaviour and politicians renege on their promises. Chaos is a choice.

But chaos offers up many possibilities, not just negative ones.

We in Scotland have a great opportunity to change things for the good of all. If we get the basics right the rest will follow.

Kate Forbes is telling SNP members not to discuss currency policy….why?

I suspect they haven’t got one yet!

Just as well this group are on the ball then..

https://scg.scot/?fbclid=IwdGRjcANm701leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHvKMoaINyLq937yJ-sHtUVxgYm33v1NnMpFq9WkTsdjHjiD8enU0etRsdcyr_aem_IQA2desjgEcYjc3NChQmEw

And the SSRG!

All these people are working behind the scenes building the foundations. And there will come a day soon when everything comes together ready for the politicians to take action.

Yes, we need politicians, but we need ones who support all the groups, and Liberate Scotland does just that.

With LS candidates, there will be no, ‘no-go’ areas!

In a country whose system is Direct Democracy, you could take part in making those policies.

We do not have to live in chaos. There is a Latin phrase that goes like this….

“Ordo ab Chao’ it means ‘Out of Chaos, Order’…..by mastering the chaos we can bring order.

Westminster chaos, is our opportunity to show what we can do. All we have to do is have a mind change. Let’s remember just how big Scotland is…..

Remember what they said about Malta…

They repeat this mantra every time a country wants to break free and every time it’s been a lie.

We are not too small, or too poor, but we will be ‘stupid’ if we don’t grab the thistle this time.

Privatisation is not creeping over Scotland it is barrelling in at breakneck speed. Time is not on our side, that is why 2026 is so pivotal to Scotland.

But here is an interesting bit of news about next years election…..

https://x.com/conor_matchett/status/1983479052498563085?s=61

After the interference in the Referendum we need to be asking who and why this decision was made. Why the sudden change in protocol?

Something is not right about this. Has the pendulum swung from Reform to Independence and panic has once again set in?

Matchett says it will make no difference to the outcome…..do you want to bet on that?

Time to demand answers.

We must change Scotlands story now!

Our decisions are our own, but I bet this one set a few nerves on edge on Monday night. Now Craig is a very intelligent man and his commitment to Liberation is exemplary. So we can only assume he has a plan! My concern is not about his decision but rather the message it may send out, that it is okay to join a Unionist Party…….there are a lot of sheep in Scotland!!

Like many, I admire Jeremy Corbyn and his left wing politics, I am a lefty myself!

Yes, he has spoken positively about Scotland’s future, but so far they have just been ‘smoke signals’, I haven’t seen the fire yet!!! We have been here before, it is one thing to say something when seeking power but quite another thing to deliver.

All will come out in the wash, as they say!!…..but it’s risky.

In the meantime, this is what LS will be doing.

Investing all of their time working for the people of Scotland.

For them, the fight is in Scotland, other things are but a distraction. They fight for Unity amongst the Yes movement, because without it we fail…..it is that simple.

We must not let the media set the agenda, it’s time to think for ourselves. Over the next few months political parties will woo voters with their promises for a better future. Well, my question is…..why wait? Improve things now and I might believe you!

Let’s go with proven records not woolly promises.

Life is about life experiences and if your life experience doesn’t relate to what was promised, then you have the right to know why.

If you can’t get a hospital or dental appointment…..you need to ask why.

If you can’t afford to put your heating on, in an energy-rich country…..you need to ask why.

If you are seeing your local services diminish, whilst your Council Tax rises…..you need to ask why.

Someone has the answers to these questions, and if our present MSPs won’t answer, the prospective Liberate Scotland candidates will!

It’s time to hear the truth.

Every decision a government makes is a choice and the first thing you have to learn is, when they say there is no money…….it is a lie!

There is plenty of money, it’s the choices they make when spending it that rob Peter to pay Paul.

When priorities favour foreign war, foreign countries and foreign investment before our own people you know we have a problem……and we know who will pay for it.

Apparently, we can no longer afford the ‘Triple lock’ but we can afford to send millions to Pakistan for ‘condoms’! That may be a simple example but it amplifies the problem.

Also-Just remember – Keir Starmer gave away the Chagos Islands for free – and then agreed to pay £34 billion to lease them back.

These are all choices….

And the Scottish government is no better. Nearly £1/2B has been given out between H&I Enterprise and Scottish Enterprise for what? Well, not for local enterprise but to entice foreign companies to invest…..more unregulated SEZs…..more profits flowing out of the country.

They can’t even pay their legal bills but can splash the cash with LGBT+.

We are constantly bombarded with what appears to be positive headlines, but look behind the headline and you see a different picture.

Most of the time we only see what we want to see, or what we are told to see and the illusion works well. Because the governments bank on us not bothering to investigate.

The media bombardment is relentless, like a kind of brainwashing.

The people in Liberate Scotland dare to look behind the headlines and dare to speak up.

To speak up and challenge the lies.

To speak up and challenge the policies that are destroying the fabric of Scotland.

To speak up for the thousands of lost voices in Scotland.

They promise to be your voice!

This promise has already been kept…..

We are living in an era where trust in Politicians has evaporated, we must reverse that trend, otherwise, no government can function properly.

Next May, you will be given a genuine choice, a choice for real change, a choice for the genuine!

Change in your hands!

Whatever happened to Labour?

There is nothing ‘for the people’ about Labour and people are starting to get it.

They have money for condoms in Pakistan, but none to help their own people with the costs of heat and food.

In Scotland, we have the chance to flip the coin. Liberate Scotland are Scotlands real people, who like the rest of us are living under an authoritarian government and paying handsomely for it.

At the GE, many believed the lie, but you know, it wouldn’t have mattered how we voted, the result would have been the same. Our power lies in changing the demographics of the Scottish Government.

Only when we change the demographics can we start to change the dynamics…. it’s all about the numbers!

Our power lies in having the guts to say No to Westminster and dare them to challenge us……in public!

It’s called rattling the cage!

LS answers to you, not to millionaires and certainly not to board members of large foreign conglomerates!

The numbers for YES are rising, but is the courage there to do it?

The courage to vote for something different, the courage to say ‘I can also do this’ and add your name to the ever-growing number of Liberate Scotland Candidates.

I think it’s time to start the biggest WHISPERING CAMPAIGN, Scotland has ever seen.

You may think ‘whispering’ is an odd word to use because it is usually associated with negatives…..but it can also be a signal that a change is coming.

We have to accept that our media is going to ignore us and we can only do so much on Social media, as big as it is. So we need a strategy! There is something in the psyche of us all that when we hear a whisper we want to know more….usually for the wrong reasons.😂😂

“Have you heard about Liberate Scotland”?

These should be the words on our lips, all day, every day. The words that you can use when interrupting a negative, overheard conversation in the pub or cafe! Ignite the flame with a whisper in someone’s ear!

Try it, I’ve done it and it works!

When the trickle-down policies of Westminster start to hit people’s pockets, they will start to listen and look for other options.

Let the wind take the whisper where it will.

Only through the silence, will Scotland hear the whispers of truth.

The penny has dropped in Wales and we must make sure we follow suit next May.

In the valleys of Wales, where the Labour movement grew, they are now burying it, and the cry for Independence is replacing it.

This should give us heart because it shows that large majorities can be overthrown.

Starmer is the gift that keeps on giving, and we must use that gift wisely. First, it was his support for Israel that took people onto the streets, now it is Digital ID…. However, it seems you can get yourself arrested for protesting about anything these days. The right to free speech has gone….well they think it has!

Whatever is happening South of the Border does not have to affect us, unless we choose to let it. We can say NO, and we do it by the Ballot box.

According to a recent poll, 79% of 16-24-year-old young people in Scotland support Independence. It’s time to harvest that vote and give them and our country hope again.

And on the subject of Polls, we all know that, if a Party conducts a poll and asks the right question to the right people, they are going to get the result they want. It appears that Labour are not the only ones playing that particular game!

Liberate Scotland get it, do you?

LS really is the people’s party in Scotland, they got how important putting country before party was. You asked, they delivered!

The magic happens when the right people are in the right seats in Holyrood.

Every vote cast for an English-based party is a negative vote for Scotland.

Liberate Scotland doesn’t do ‘continuity’ they do separation.

In other words, the handshakes stop here!

Today Labour/SNP hold Scotland……next year, WE WILL!

Be that NUT and hold your ground!

Unless the people of Scotland act decisively next May, local democracy will disappear for good. What is happening in Taynuilt, is not a one-off, it is becoming the norm across the land. And don’t think for one minute the Scottish Government is on your side, because when push comes to shove, they will do as they are telt! Douglas Alexander through the Scottish Office will have the final say, and that translates to Westminster!

All of Scotland now comes under some kind of deal…..except a deal with the local people!

Westminster is sucking Scotland dry like a leech, and like any leech, to remove it you must start with the head!

2026 must be about removing Unionist parties from Scotland, then we move on to the second tier, the Devolutionists. And we do that by placing dedicated Independence people in Holyrood. People who will make sure that Holyrood runs in tandem with the outcome of the UN.

The UN can only make a declaration, it is up to the people of Scotland to move on it.

What we need now is…..

The door is still open for others to step up, and speak up for their local communities to bring back local Democracy.

The candidates already prepared to stand with LS have very loud voices and they will be heard, even around Taynuilt!!!

We should be increasing the types of democracy we have not decreasing it. Let’s get back to what worked pre-Union with the Burghs etc.

It’s called ‘People Power’!

The blueprints are all there; they just need modification, and it is ‘we’…..the people, who should be writing the script.

When it comes to scare stories and where they come from, I am reminded of a line in a well-known nursery rhyme.

“Fee-fi-fo-fum! I smell the blood of an Englishman”

I presume they are alluding to the fact that we will dispense with their WMDs once Independent. My position on these has always been, that rather than being a deterrent, they make us a target. And that is even before one gets into the moral issues.

Politicians use the Politics of Fear when all else fails. The idea is to make us all paranoid, where the questions we all ask ourselves start with, ‘what if’, because the ground beneath our feet is shaking.

Politicians want us to live in an uncertain world, so that they can do whatever they want under the guise of ‘fixing it’. And the sad thing is, we fall for it!

Scotland knows its worth and its wealth and there is nothing shaky about it. We hold the top hand in this poker game, we just need to learn when to use it.

It’s game on folks and you are part of it. Let’s show the Unionists, and Devolutionists our hand in May. The hand that says, ‘we are taking our country back’ from our colonial masters, and the change starts here!

We start to take our country back by making sure that when the Scottish Government invest money, they do so in local community enterprises not foreign companies that run off with the profits.

We need the profits to circulate not accumulate in someone’s bank account.

Let freedom replace fear.

Time is precious, and it’s also running out for Scotland, or at least, the Scotland we know and love.

I believe there is a time for everything and I believe now is the time for Scotland to fulfil its destiny. But there is no magic button to press, it is up to the people of this country to make it happen.

Scotland is made up of three parts, land, sea and people!

There are a lot of people investing a lot of time in our future, but this time will be wasted if we don’t get people out to vote next May.

We cannot control time but we can control how we use it. We have 7 months before we go to the ballot box. Last week in the Ayr By-Election the turnout was just 27%…….27% will not get us Independence, not now, not ever!

We have only 7 months to ignite the flame again! This election must be about Independence and nothing else.

Country before party or we are lost.

These parties are the only ones doing that!

It is not about saving a Party but saving Scotland and if our politicians are not up to it, then they must be removed from office…..and we can do that if we have a mind to.

Stop saying ‘if only’ and start saying ‘yes I can’. Your vote can change everything.

Those of us who understand the importance of 2026 must invest our time wisely.

Understanding how our voting system works is the key and this is surely where our main focus should be. When people realise they can win, they will turn out.

What is happening to Scotland is criminal.

Invest the time and we will beat the crime!

Memorandums of Understand, what are they and are they worth their weight in gold?

We hear a lot about these things when contracts are signed. I suppose one could say they are ‘add ons’ to a deal, I see them as ‘pacifiers’!!

Handshake promises added on when the two parties involved were not prepared to make them part of the legal contract. They make both sides look good in failure, but hold no weight legally! In short, they mean nothing.

Kate Forbes uses a lot of these in her Freeport deals, often around employment issues. She can at least say ‘I tried’!

But we don’t employ our ministers to just ‘try’ we expect them to do! Are we so desperate that we have to accept sub standard deals from what is often seemingly sub standard foreign companies. Companies that just want to rip us off.

It is the business of private businesses to make profits at the expense of others, it is not the business of MSPs to be enablers, neither should they be the enablers of Westminster.

We have to change the way the Scottish Government works and if the NuSNP won’t do it then let’s fill the place with radicals who will. People who will make Holyrood a little less ordinary and start to fight for Scotland and us, it’s people.

On Sunday I sat and listened to 5 of the Liberate Scotland [ISP] candidates tell us why they were standing, it was a humbling experience to be in such a group of reluctant heroes…..yes heroes. Ordinary people prepared to put their personal lives and ambitions on hold to do something our present incumbents of Holyrood won’t.

Ordinary folk with grit….the ‘sma folk’, who come with a lot of life experience.

No MOUs here, just a clear contract with the people of Scotland….

The route…..Decolonisation!
