It may work for a while, but one day soon, the dam will burst.

At the moment the threat by their Leader to sack the lot of them by calling an election seems to be enough to hold them fast.

There will come a day when MPs realise, it’s loyalty to their constituents that’s matters not their autocratic Leader…..I hope!!

But are we in Scotland not held by similar threats? “Without the SNP there will be no Independence”!!

The cause of Independence can not be owned by one Party, especially when that Party has failed to deliver when it had the chance.

The cause is owned by all of us, and we now need to think outside the box to get there. Salvo has taken that lead and it’s the one we need to follow.

It’s a long twisty road, but the train is moving and that’s what matters. Then there’s UDI, not to be completely dismissed. My feeling is, that in the end it will take both to get us there as we will never be handed it.

The truth is, British politics is neither Labour nor Conservative, it has become Libertarian. [ not to be mistaken for Liberalism!] with many MSPs belonging to the British American project.[BAP]

In short, that means, decisions taken are made in the Boardrooms of major colgomerates throughout the world…..or even shorter…..we are now owned by others!!!

Well, it’s time to put a spoke in that wheel, and we have the perfect opportunity to do so in May.

I know it’s hard for folk to change, but at the moment both Swinney and Sarwar are, by their words and actions making it easier. I find it interesting that Swinney has not commented on Nicolas ‘50-year’ comment. [unless I’ve missed it!]

If we look at the present spectrum of Political Parties in Holyrood at the moment, there is no obvious choice to make that will deliver anything different. That leaves us with one conclusion, again I say, look outside the box!

There are choices!!

Another pro-Independence Party maybe, or something quite different, but still pro-Independence…….even more so actually…..they only have one policy and that is Independence, nothing Less!

Whatever your choice is, it must be led by love of country not coercion.

Liberate Scotland is here because those within it, love their country and they believe in the people who live here.

They believe in you!

The chaos!

Remember the slogan ‘Save the date’.?.……… and this…..

Well, it’s just as well we didn’t hold our breath because we have moved on big-time according to Nicola, it’s now in the next 50yrs!…….I will definitely have moved on…..to another world!

Yesterday was a chaotic day in Scottish politics with Sawar cooking his goose!! What he said may have been right but I think his timing was a bit off….you don’t try and shove your boss off a cliff until you know for sure he’s about to jump.

The calm!

Yes, there is some calm!

Here in Scotland the smaller parties are just chugging along getting on with the daily business of campaigning ahead of May’s election.

No events south of the border will knock Liberate Scotland off course, they are focused and determined to keep on the job in hand, bringing Independence to the fore.

As the media tries to shut down the notion of any kind of Unity, campaigners for LS will hit the streets by coming to you.

They will bring you a different message.

A conversation, however, is a two-way thing, so they hope you will tell them what you want and expect from today’s politicians… and this is important… they want your input on what you think a future Scotland should be like. Your voice, your hopes and dreams are just as important as theirs!!

Why is it that in today’s world we lack the choice of having to choose between good people and end up having to choose between the lesser of two evils?

Well that no longer applies in Scotland.

Liberate Scotland does not offer career politicians, it offers real people with real-life experiences who have stepped up to fill the gap. A gap created by a party that has failed not only to fulfil their promises but seems to have thrown in the towel altogether. They speak the words but lack the ambition.

LS have shown its determination to change politics, now they need you to be just as determined when it comes to Independence.

It only takes a X to change things!

If it’s not sleaze, it’s corruption!

A picture of today’s politics covering nearly the whole of the world.

Can we change things in our wee corner of the world?

Well, we could, if we really wanted to!

How?

Well, it starts, note I said ‘starts’! [Rome wasn’t built in a day]……in May this year.

“Gold Standard” means high-quality standards. When did we last see that in politics? When did we last see it in Scotland?

One of the first things that has to happen in politics is, ‘to say what you mean and mean what you say’! Promises made must be promises kept!

LS stands on one Policy, ‘Independence, nothing less’. But they need YOU to help them get into a position where they can use that balance of power to make it start to happen.

As individuals, they also want to restore ethics and integrity to politics.

At the moment, Holyrood is following Westminster’s path, where privatisation is the buzzword. Privatisation is not compatible with Democracy, and some in Westminster are now beginning to get that. They want to ‘tweak’ Freeports……good luck with that one! ISDS will come into play.

May can be the start of something new, but there is a big ‘IF’.

Only if we focus on Independence and move away from Party Politics, I fear, that for some, that will be a bridge too far! For some, independence only means one party.

For this election, we need to put political attachments aside and apply mathematics!

[ get your calculators out!]

We need to unify around the Saltire.

Unity is not about trying to unite with the biggest party. Unity is about uniting the people behind a cause.

To escape the corruption and sleaze we need to start thinking differently.

Think Alliance!

If ever Liberate Scotland were being tested, it was over the past 6 months.

But their dogged determination to fight for a different kind of politics won the day. I suppose one could say the experience has been a kind of training ground. Time in the lion’s den!

An exercise in learning how to deal with ‘dirty tricks’ and win!

Unity scares politicians, they prefer ‘divide and rule’.

Unity cannot be controlled by those who seek to maintain the status quo, the numbers just keep growing as people realise they need each other.

And so the jigsaw comes together.

When people and groups pull together, the establishment feels threatened. And when they feel threatened they make mistakes. Trying to shut down Liberate Scotland was a big mistake, especially by the ‘bad actors’.

Now, the light is shining on everyone. Who is the real deal and who isn’t?

The SNP on the other hand seemed to have switched the light off….

The Alliance to Liberate Scotland does not proclaim to be the only one that wants Independence, there are others like Alba, but they are the only ones promoting Unity amongst all the parties, and that is what people asked for!

Fact……

Many things have to happen before we become Independent, but the first thing is some kind of political event to ask if we want it! To make that happen we need bums on seats in Holyrood to create that event.

What do you see?

2 Oranges?

No! An orange and a tangerine!!

When it comes to political parties and their promises, it is always wise to take a closer look. Does the party really represent the people it says it does, look at their past history!

Are the promises they make jam or carrots?

Are the parties Scottish or English?

A cross between an orange and a tangerine is called a ‘tangor’. In Scotland we don’t just have Nationalists and Unionists, we have our very own crossovers, they are called Devolutionists!!!

So, please take time to look closer.

The Alliance to Liberate Scotland bring with it a new kind of politics, grown from the grassroots of Scotland.

Take a closer look.

Another day, another defection! It’s getting quite boring now.

Politics has become a business, where one jumps to where the opportunities are. Loyalty? ….. forget that. No need to worry about having to make new friends when many of your pals are waiting for you!

It’s all about total control these days…..and watch out for the 15-minute towns, the brochures look flashy but there are hidden dangers. Think about the future and remember East Germany before the wall came down.

What Labour is selling as protection now, will, down the line become control. We might have delayed digital ID but it will come via the back door!

Scotland needs to start its exit now, not wait and see what happens.

With Liberate Scotland there is no need to switch parties or loyalties, you just lend your vote to Scotland!

The YES movement has many enemies, our strategy moving forward should be motivated by determination not anger, or the use of dirty tricks.

Unifying is the one strategy they hate, because numbers matter!

Why do you think the SNP didn’t want a Plebiscite Election?

Correct me if I am wrong, but I am beginning to see posts saying the SNP vote is beginning to collapse. If that is the case, and I say ‘if’ then the door is widening for the smaller Independence parties.

Now is the time to think differently, now is the time to be brave. Now is the time to empty the Hollywood gravy train.

Now is the time for the Rebels to take over and I include all real Indy parties.

If we wake up on May 8th to a Unionist Holyrood, it will certainly be all change, but not the one we wanted. And don’t blame ‘vote splitting’, the chance to Unite is there……please take it.

The ‘Fake’ grass will not be very palatable!

We need to have a better understanding of the List system and how smaller parties can use it to their advantage. It’s not about ‘gaming’ the system, it’s about using a system that was meant to include smaller parties!

Now and then, something quite extraordinary happens in politics, and this is one of those times.

For months the possibility of a united campaign party has been promoted, that possibility has now become a reality!

The wheels of the Electoral Commission grind slowly, but they do grind! And, as with every official government department, every “i’ must be dotted and every ‘t’ crossed before even being considered for approval.

Noone expected ‘incoming friendly fire’ but it came nonetheless.

But, in one way it proved something, it proved the tenacity of this group of ordinary people.

It proved how flexible they were in having to adapt to change, and above all it proved they were not going to be beaten in pursuit of their goal.

A rare combination in Politics today!

Now that day has come, and all the hard work and dogged determination to create something new in Scottish politics has paid off.

The Alliance to Liberate Scotland has been rubber stamped, with the stamp of approval!

They are Legal, they are up and running and it’s game on!

This is what happens when ordinary people make their dreams come true. This is no small step, because not only is it a first, but it brings with it the possibility of some seismic changes in Holyrood this year.

Unity has always been the answer, and Unity within the Independence movement even more so.

As David, from Sovereignty said, ‘we don’t have to align on everything’ but we must have ‘strategic alignment’ on Independence.

A plan is not a plan unless there are people to action it.

LS has a plan, and many are now actively considering it. We need to make this year’s Election one that counts. One where every vote for a real Independence party counts. Putting the right people in Holyrood to support the Decolonisation route and the other groups laying the foundations in the background, like the SSRG and Common Wheel etc.

These things together put Independence first.

If real Indy Parties held the balance in Holyrood, they could in theory, force a Plebiscite Election before the next GE or before 2031.

This could be our last throw at the dice for many years as global powers and privatisation creep in. Remember promises made are not always promises kept, even when those promises are made by our own MSPs!

We need MSPs who won’t be bought!…..people with integrity.

There is only one way our Dream can come true, and that is for each one of us to do our bit.

We need voices, not echoes!

Think Liberate Scotland for the change you want.

As you are aware I am very succinct when I write, this is for two reasons. I hate ‘waffle’ and I use my blog as a pointer to the truth.

I feel that all should come to their own conclusions.

I think my blog reflects what I think on many matters!

In politics Unity is rare, there may be the occasional agreement on a policy, other than that Unity is weaponised to oust another party. { your enemy is my enemy.}

Another word for Unity could be alignment.

It is the place of agreement on a goal and the mindset to work together to form actions.

It’s called ‘grown-up’ politics.

You would be surprised at how many in Scotland don’t want to grow up and face reality. Party Politics still reigns and it will kill the Dream!

The numbers just don’t stack up. Membership is too widespread.

We are seeing in the States what happens when people don’t heed a warning….

I am not suggesting anything like this could happen this side of the pond, it is just an example of not heeding warnings as yet another execution takes place.

The warning signs for Scotland are clear, unless we start to change things, the trajectory will be downwards.

Larger wind farms and new oil are not going to benefit us one iota, the profits will flow elsewhere with some speed. The so called Union will ensure that…..it was designed to be so.

Genuine Independence Parties need to start giving people Hope!

Because without Hope, they won’t come out and vote, it really is as simple as that.

Unity can bring Hope, a People united can be the bridge that brings Hope.

As leaflets start to come through our doors proclaiming what they want, sit back and ask yourself ‘what do I want’?

What do I want for my country and myself?

Is it, another SNP promise?

Is it, more Labour promises, from a Party heavily linked to Epstein?

Is it Reform, who hopes you are racist and now with a Leader again with links to Epstein?

Or..

Will it be a genuine party, focused on Independence?

Your choice…..your vote!

Democracy

Maybe the heading should be, ‘you shouldn’t put a price on Democracy’, because sadly that is what is happening, and, is lack of cash just being used as an excuse?

It would appear that both in this so called UK as in the USA the governments no longer want the people to have any say…..we no longer count!

Could it happen in Scotland?

Very often the place to start looking for changes in democracy is within the political parties. When changes start to happen in membership democracy and those higher up the chain start taking over……beware of the slippery slope!

A mindset change has happened and the power grab begins.

What drives this?

I would say it is the fear of losing power. For some, it is their egos. For others, the power held, goes much higher, even outside politics. We live in a world driven by consumerism, controlled by large conglomerates, with Boardrooms making policy.

The proof……Freeports!

Westminster is not the seat of Democracy, it is a Dictatorship as far as Scotland is concerned with Holyrood acting as its branch office.

Scots Law is being ignored to appease Westminster, but Craig is on the case!!

We could start to change things in May…..if we really want to!

The Q is……Do we?

Forget the SNP bragging about getting Starmer out in 100 days, that just isn’t going to happen….. it’s a false flag.

The process will take much longer, as we are seeing with the Decolonising route. Time is irrelevant in some respects, the important thing is, that the process is moving forward!

“Moving” being the operative word!

Unity is the answer, so much so that those advocating it are being shut down on SM. So don’t forget to share everything relevant to Indy!

Governments hate it when the people wake up, and Holyrood is no different. That is why we are not getting a Plebiscite Election. Instead, we are being offered what I call ‘a chocolate road to Independence’……it melts away, once you start walking on it!!

This bridge works, it works because it is built by the people, for the people.

This means…..its your bridge!

Don’t allow the Unity movement to be silenced, keep reposting and shouting louder!!

People are looking for direction, the ground beneath their feet feels shaken.

It’s not only the magnetic north that has moved…..normal has moved! Nothing feels the same any more.

Labour promised change, but the change that came was unrecognisable compared with what was promised. Black holes were invented to con people, then they disappeared only to return again! Seesaw economics is now the name of Rachel’s game.

The result…..instability!

There was a time when Taxes only went up after a Budget at the beginning of the financial year.

This weekend beer went up….why this weekend? I guess the coffers are getting low!

I think she sits in her office everyday wondering what to do next to fleece us.

We do fair slightly better in Scotland, but our government is hell-bent on wasting taxpayers’ money on fighting lost causes in the courts.

I’m never quite sure what they are trying to prove.

And so, in this pivotal year, people are left in a kind of political no man’s land.

It’s hard to change a lifetime habit. Life throws up some uncomfortable lessons and one of them is ‘the old doesn’t always fit the new’. The world around us moves on and so must we.

We are witnessing the death of politics as we knew it, we must change our way of thinking to face the challenges of today.

There should be more collaboration and less confrontation.

It is time for “the Power of the Powerless.”[Carney 2026 in Davos] to rise up.

I will not apologise for supporting Liberate Scotland because I am a firm believer of Unity.

For months on SM people were pleading for unity within the Independence movement. Three parties/ groups responded…..only three! But those three are making their mark and in doing so are encountering incoming ‘friendly fire’!

So they know they are doing something right!!

They are modern day Rebels, ready to take on the establishment with one goal in mind…..to aid the road to Independence, by unblocking the drains of Holyrood!

Patch and Go!

Scotland has always been ahead when it comes to innovation, both social and medical. How much more could we do if our resources were ours to use?

This is the kind of country I want to see, and we could be if we put our minds to it.

So, what is holding us back?

Is it apathy or Party before country……maybe a bit of both?

The world has moved on since we last elected MSPs to Holyrood, and if that means we to have to change our habits, then so be it. We must see things as they are, not what we wish them to be, as the Canadian PM said!

Scotland is not immune from the instability around us, therefore it is even more important that we have our say in world affairs. It is not acceptable that our FM had no knowledge, let alone any say in the recent US actions in the Atlantic and usage of our airports.

Unless we start the change now, we will get dragged into another war of false flags.

This election is much more than just the internal politics affecting us on a daily basis, it’s about cutting our ties with Westminster and their shady worldwide deals. Libertarianism is our enemy and Westminster is drowning in it!

Please do not confuse the words Libertarianism with Liberate. The former is about profits, the latter outcomes!

On the other hand, Libertarianism and Freeports do go hand in hand! Profits that will flow out of Scotland, unless we stop them.

We need to use our innovation in this election when thinking about strategy. Party first no longer fits… let’s be honest, the numbers are not there.

Leverage comes through numbers and numbers come through Unity.

If you are serious about Independence then this is the place where numbers will count.

LS stands on one platform, Independence! But those parties involved also have their own manifestos, which of course include Independence.

Look them up!

You might get a surprise!!

They say Jim Wallace looked for “common ground” when having to work with others, this is exactly what LS is doing.
