The only way the people of Scotland are going to get a seat at the world table is through Direct Democracy!

Otherwise, we look on and get the crumbs. For many, that seems to be the easier way through life, yet it is they who complain the most.

Words without action mean nothing. It may surprise you to know that many of our mental health issues arise from inaction. Many feel helpless, not knowing what they can do so focus on what they think they can’t do and that frustration leads to problems such as depression etc.

We don’t need to sit at the top table to change things. There are many tables in many organisations where voices can be heard, and some are local. Also local papers are not so restrictive.

Nationally, things are getting more awkward, but remember, where’s there’s a will, there’s a way!

Also remember that Westminster, as always, shoots itself in the foot.

[ Don’t know who did this, but thank you!]

And a certain person is making sure these are used!😂

Individually, the size of the table matters not, just being there contributes, and that’s what matters. It could be a local organisation or a political party… everything is important.

You are important!

Today might…I say ‘might’ be the day politics starts to change in Westminster. Andy Burnham is right, Labour won’t get a second chance. But on the constitutional front, nothing will change, so our fight must continue.

Our individual response to local issues like AI centres is more important than ever because it looks like our FM is just going to lie down and roll over, as many pet poodles do!

Whoever thought the day would come when the SNP would so flagrantly help to destroy this beautiful country?

By refusing a moratorium on AI centres that is exactly what he is doing.

Now we know why the area covering Freeports was so big! It was the land they were after.

Your voice is more important than ever now!

Those on SM will no doubt have noticed how ‘free speech’ is being suppressed even on the major platforms.

But ‘silencing’ is not new, we’ve seen it in our media for years. Every time you switch on the TV and watch the news, you are only watching what the powerful want you to see or hear!

The reason given is incitement.

To some degree that is correct because there are always people who want any excuse to react and more who want to join in because they are angry.

Governments always tend to lay the blame on the people, they never ask themselves why it’s happening.

The result is suppression.

Stop the speaking and the protests and all will be well…..they hope!

They forget, human beings do not react like caged animals; we have brains, and when our brains tell us something is very wrong, we are going to react. Add anger to the equation and a problem is created for the government and the police. Their answer, more suppression! This is the spiral we are now on.

How do we get out of this spiral? How is the ordinary person able to get their voice heard again?

Social platforms do still give us some freedom, even though they are policed.

Marches are becoming managed, but by whom?

Could enough voices reverse that?

If we want to speak, we are going to have to think outside the box again.

I know I go on about the Claim of Right, but it really does give us some rights. I have been amused lately at how many English people are also starting to quote their rights from the Magna Carta!

These ancient documents still hold power! It will be interesting to see what happens when people start to raise these rights in a Court of Law.

When you think of the word Freedom, what do you see with your mind’s eye?

Freedom generally refers to the power or right to act, speak, or think without hindrance or restraint. [Wikipedia]

We will all have a different list because our circumstances are different.

Sadly these are being eroded, big time!

The excuse behind some of the new restrictions is ‘child safety’! Yet they resist looking into grooming.

Digital Identity is coming whether we like it or not.

On Monday I spent nearly all day in the Acute Assessment Unit at the QEUH, it was an interesting experience to say the least. Every member of staff had a NHS smartphone and everything was being run on those phones, like the sharing of test results, scans, etc, very efficiently. But earlier in the day the system was down and the doctor said she hadn’t been able to access my records!!

Systems crash, and this government wants to run our lives via digital platforms.

Then there was the lady sitting next to me, she did have a smart phone, but an old one and needed help to use it. Not sure what she wanted but had to ask a stranger to help her. Is this wise, is this safe?

The government is creating many problems for many people under the guise of protection, when it’s really about control.

Free speech is going, freedom to protest is going, freedom of the press has gone, what’s next on their list?

And on the subject of Freedom of Speach, what is happening within AUOB? These marches were not only about feet on the ground, they were renowned for the speakers from various groups and parties……Now none allowed!?!

The reason given is, ‘people don’t contribute financially.’ Well, there’s a simple remedy for that, ask them to!! Also do the musicians contribute? No reply was given!! Something tells me there is more to this than meets the eye. Are they/we being silenced?

Was this another ‘slow creep’ we didn’t notice and should have, once SNP leaders stopped supporting it?

How soon, will your ‘freedom’ list disappear?

Whilst you have a power-down system instead of a power-up, like Direct Democracy , these things will only get worse.

We must speak out whilst we can!

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.

When it comes to protecting your own, politicians can’t be beaten……or can they? The circle protecting the SNP just now must feel very uncomfortable, if not, too hot!

But I have a feeling the next court appearance will take them from the ‘frying pan to the fire’!

At some point that circle of fire will burn itself out, and only the ashes will remain.

The ashes of what once was a great Party, now smeared in corruption and complacency.

…..and the ‘corrupters’ cannot clean their own house! It is time for the splinter groups within, to take over! Those with real vision for their party and for Scotland. Remember 5 branches did put forward a different agenda!

We see it every time a new thought or strategy is put forward, that circle of protection comes out to protect the leader’s agenda. Everything must come from the top or it is toppled!

But they could still save themselves by disbanding Parliament and calling a Plebiscite Election. He who dares, wins!!

There is however one party that is led by its members and that is the ISP. Never forget that it was the majority of members who voted to stand down in 2021 to let Alba stand unfettered, not the Exec! I can testify to that because I am part of that Executive who had to bow to the members wishes.

The ISP is truly member-led!

So, if you are fed up with the power coming from above, become the power yourself!

Let’s get the power back into the hands of the Sovereign People & let’s use it.

Why are we still playing Westminsters game, when we still hold the ball?

It’s only happening because we have allowed it to, and continue to do so. We prefer our comfort zones to rattling the Westminster cages…..or even the Holyrood ones!

How many SNP MPs have gone down to London and said ‘The People of Scotland have spoken’, only to be laughed at? And how many times have we cooried doon and let them? It’s all a game with them even though we hold the ball.

They have their helpers, who are woven into the YES movement and Salvo, sadly. Vigilance is not exactly our second name.

The SNP have proved that!

But then, are we not all a wee bit guilty of wanting to trust the people who come into our lives? There is nothing wrong with that as long as we also acknowledge the ‘red flags’ when they start flying!!

Unfortunately for football fans, there is one country that is on the lookout for red flags, and that is the USA. And where are they looking……SM posts! Fans are having their visas cancelled at the last minute due to these searches. Anything anti-Trump is a NO NO… just as well I am not trying to get one!!

Getting back to our ball, it’s time to start kicking it around, there are a few goals to be scored out there in most communities.

Look up Salvo and read about the Common Good fund, you might just be surprised by what you can achieve.

We cannot and should not expect other countries to do all the fighting for us when it comes to getting our country back. We need to be seen by others that we are trying to do something for ourselves, even if we keep getting knocked back! Believe it or not, getting ‘knocked back’ continually could in the long run work to our advantage as the world looks on!!

It’s time to start scoring some local goals!

When a person makes a public comment saying they will not be making any more, they would do well to stick to it, because anything else shows their panic.

And in panic mode, the idiocies just keep tripping out.

We have now entered the comical phase of this saga.

But it’s not just comical, it’s sad!

Sad because this woman had her future and our future handed to her on a plate after the Referendum in 2014. We all have flaws and nothing brings them to the fore more than power!

And the best way to keep that power is to surround yourself with like-minded people. We would do well to remind ourselves that those people are still around today in Holyrood and Westminster. So the problem has not gone away!

A democratic country we are not. We have a semblance of democracy but it is an illusion. A vote every 5 years is not true democracy, and the alternative, Direct Democracy, has now been pushed into the long grass once again. We have no one to blame but ourselves, having just voted for continuity.

Our FM is in full ‘power mode’ so don’t expect any changes soon.

The only difference between his ‘fight or flight’ mode and Nicola’s, is that he hides behind the phrases of ‘it was criminality ‘ and ‘it’s in the past’, whereas she is verbose!

The big Q now is, was there a criminal conspiracy to hide all this ?

No doubt someone in the future will write a film script about all this, but will it fall under the heading of comedy or tragedy?

The tragedy for all the rest of us was, that no one listened.

We must all now try to move on, for the real independentist, the battle was lost, but not the war, because it remains ongoing and the Salvo/Liberation train is still on the tracks and moving!

Swinney is skating on thin ice and the more he says, the thinner the ice is becoming, and you can smell the panic!

“These things are in the past” is not the answer a true leader would give. It will never be in the past until all of those involved in the cover-up have been dealt with……. not promoted!

The SNP needs a Spring Clean and members need to start asking the hard questions with contributions returned where they can be traced. It was the duty of the whole executive to keep the money safe. This was not just a few quid……it was £600k!

This is a bone the media will gnaw on for quite a while as more facts come to light daily.

Meanwhile, the smaller parties, led by real people, get on with the job in hand.

Let us also not forget there was other court case happening this week, the important one! The one that has made Englands Advocate General attend in person… another one in panic mode!

[This case has now been paused, showing once again the power of Westminster over Scots Law]

Yes, it’s all happening, but will anything really change? The wheels of Justice move ever so slowly and even that has a reason.

We are but pawns in this global game of chess, and we will remain so until we find the courage to rebel.

The multi-billion conglomerates are even trying to make us eat ‘fake food’ now, but perhaps the biggest fake of all is AI, with each system coming up with different information…..sounds a bit like politicians to me!!! They say, you get what you pay for, maybe they are right.

AI is just a research tool but even it has to rely on someone somewhere having written the information. And you know what they say about ‘he who holds the pen’.

“The pen is mightier than the sword”!

The ink never even reached the page before Westminster said NO!

So what is Plan B, John?

We await with bated breath!

But then he has been quite busy these past 48 hours, defending the impossible. It is quite telling when a die-hard independentist says ‘I don’t want to live in an independent Scotland, run by the SNP! I will add to that….. neither do I.

A party unable to run its own finances is not fit to run this country. At the moment, they have to balance the books… but could they… would they if Independent?

Who needs three coffee machines anyway?

….and just in case you missed this wee clip…..

https://x.com/hebrideanyoon/status/2059347020905607549?s=61

It’s strange is it not how we have focused so much on the above but seem to be forgetting this…

……and, I have to ask why our wonderful media is so lacking in showing the destruction of Tel Aviv but very happy to show what Israel is doing to Lebanon? And they say, we are not complicit.

Most countries call it for what it is, genocide, but not us….why would that be? £££££

Money is an excellent conduit for hypocrisy!

We are all fed up with it, but nobody seems to want to do anything about it. One has to wonder just how bad it will have to get before people really mean, ‘enough is enough’!

A thought to ponder on.



Summer, when it arrives will be cheaper this year…..but only if you can afford days out at Theme Parks and Zoos etc.

Also, during August in England 5-15yr olds can travel free on a bus!

Strange choices, are they not?

Since when was a trip to a Theme Park a priority?

Maybe it’s time I moved on from this world, a world where priorities have been turned upside down. We seemed to have moved from prioritising our children’s needs to……what they want, and a Chancellor who is pandering to it.

There is no doubt that Rachel from accounts is trying to make us feel better off, but are we?

Psychology is all about feelings and Political Psychology is no different. But the right words need to be backed up by deeds.…..deeds that matter not just tinkering around the edges for a few months.

An interesting wee ceremony took place here in Scotland on Wednesday, when John Swinney was sworn in as FM, and in doing so became the Keeper of the Great Seals!

Unfortunately for him being FM and Keeper of the Seals are incompatible!! But I think these important constitutional matters are way above the heads of this SNP Government.

The fact that Scotland is a Colony has now been exposed, and once seen, it cannot be ignored… but it will be! Because Power has once again been given and Power is not something the SNP will hand over willingly.

The very idea of Direct Democracy is an anathema to them and to some other so-called Independence Parties, I may add. Be sure you know where your Party stands on this issue because it’s the difference between the Peoples Sovereignty and Parliamentary Sovereignty!

Unfortunately, these kinds of changes are now well into the future, because continuity is once again, the name of the game. The unfortunate problem with ‘continuity’ is that it very often leads to complicity!! But that does not mean the rest of us have to be silent!

Don’t stop ‘knawing the bone’ [of Independence] just because honest John is ‘cloning’ one.

There is still a battle to be fought and perhaps a new strategy to be thought out.
