In case you hadn’t noticed, Scotland has changed over the last few years, and not in a good way. The changes have been subtle, so subtle that we haven’t noticed some of them….we were not meant to!

They are the kind of changes that we only notice when something happens.

An example is the ‘soft sentencing’ of young offenders, and no, I am not for locking everyone up and throwing away the key! It’s about inconsistencies.

You cannot say on the one hand that young brains don’t fully develop until they are 25yrs old then on the other hand say 10-year-olds are old enough to understand how they feel about their bodies, regarding gender.

Then there’s our great Scottish Judiciary system, has this always been the case, or is it a special case?

[Nicola Sturgeon will be allowed to keep goods bought with stolen SNP funds – including expensive household appliances and apparent gifts – because prosecutors quietly deleted them from Peter Murrell’s indictment in a plea deal.

Scots law specialists say hundreds of items worth almost £60,000 that were stripped out before he admitted embezzling £400,310.65 are now effectively beyond confiscation unless the SNP sues her itself.

Think about that: a party chief embezzles nearly half a million pounds, splurges it on everything from a £124,000 motorhome to a £3,200 coffee machine, a robotic lawnmower, designer salt and pepper grinders and “gifts” for his wife – and the system decides that as long as the indictment is massaged down, the goodies can stay where they are.

In any normal organisation, that would be called proceeds of crime; in SNP‑land, it’s just another “private matter” between the former leader and her estranged husband.]

I wonder how the press will react next time Nicola steps out wearing her very expensive pendant!

But somehow, all these things pale into insignificance compared to the 17 data centers that are being forced upon us. For a country seeking a low-carbon footprint, we have a funny, or not so funny way of showing it.

They will change our countryside forever in more ways than one, affecting both water supplies and electricity, guzzling both.

We missed the boat during the election but there are still moves we can make to slow down the destruction of our beautiful country. The smaller Parties will continue to do their bit and grow, but Salvo/Liberation are the only train left on the track and they have a plan!!

But they need our help execute it. By helping them we help each other in making the Dream come true.

Think of it as a two-pronged attack. Liberation leading the one at the UN and Salvo leading the one at home. We need to start ruffling some feathers. If we can’t stop things, we can for sure slow things down. We can be the ‘itch’ that just won’t go away!!

Sitting back and doing nothing is not an option, we are the fuel that will keep this train moving.
