Never neglect those red lights, the ones that flash in your head as a warning. That inner gut feeling.

We all get them from time to time, especially when a stranger appears bearing gifts!

I swear politicians keep theirs switched off. Their eyes are firmly fixed on the cash, not what comes after.

Cash for access and anything else it can buy, is rife within politics. How else do politicians become millionaires in such a short space of time?

House rules have been ripped up, replaced by a free-for-all, until that is, the media fall out with you and reveal all!

But then what…nothing, maybe headlines for a day, then forgotten unless the media really hate you!🤣

The thing about all this dodgy money is, in the beginning it all sounds harmless…but no-one ever gives money away without expecting a return, even if it’s just a favour or two.

There is always a price and usually the red lights flash!

It’s a kind of blackmail, in reverse!

Don’t think Scottish politicians are above this kind of behaviour, many have been in hock to the big conglomerates and institutions like BAP for years. The reward is not always money, but as they say ‘in kind’…like influence in important places or with people.

No matter what the reward, they have sold their souls to someone or something.

There is an answer to this, it’s called Direct Democracy, the boat that politicians refuse to climb aboard. They prefer Representative Democracy…the one they can control. But I think this boat is about to sink.

Geopolitics is falling apart!

There is a smell of rebellion in the air, the full force of this hasn’t quite reached Scotland yet, but it’s coming!

Policies both north and south of the border, whether they be fiscal, immigration, Data Hubs or even just meddling with the SNHS, are starting to get up people’s nostrils and the grassroots are rustling.

When you listen to John Swinney on the tv he comes across as a nice guy…we don’t want a nice guy, we want a tough guy who will stand up to Burnham and his Westminster lackeys. We want an First Minister who will stand up for our rights, not bend the knee!

And it is up to us, to make sure the next one does, be it a HE or a SHE!

It may even have to be another independence party, and if that is a bridge too far for you…your heart is not where it should be!

Where is your heart?

Is it for Scotland or a Party, and there is a difference!
