Well, there are 23+ of them, but kids they are not😂

Each comes with a wealth of life experience. Among them you will find teachers, carers, lawyers, self-employed, a CA advisor, a bricklayer, a rugby player,and a retired Nurse, to name a few. The kind of people you rub shoulders with every day.

They are not career politicians, but they come with a wealth of knowledge, knowing what does and what does not work for the people. And that’s what counts…..people!

They don’t need to know how to do everything, they would have Civil Servants to help.

‘civil servant’s job is to implement government policies and deliver public services to ensure the country runs smoothly, acting impartially and independently of political parties. This involves a wide range of tasks, from managing government departments and resources to interacting directly with the public, providing advice to ministers, and executing programs in areas like health, education, and defence. Their role maintains continuity during political changes and supports the rule of law.’

What they do need and have in buckets full is a passion for Scotland and its people.

Over the next few months, these candidates will be introduced to you and their location via various platforms. They will also be hitting the ground locally and they want to meet you.

They won’t come in big posh cars, or with big promises they can’t deliver. But what they will bring to the top table is solutions in areas where the government is failing. And of course the biggest failure has been not to take the cause of Independence forward, which is the ultimate answer to all of our problems.

For radical change you need radical people in Holyrood!

Just let me clarify one of the list in the above. “No foreign backers”. By that I mean those who lobby to influence government policy giving large sums of money to individual MPs.

Foreign investment is a different matter and that must change as well.

Investment, whether in-house or foreign, must be to the benefit of the people and community in which the company operates. Not with all profits going into anonymous pockets! In my book, there is a huge difference between profit and greed.

We need money to circulate not flow out of the country like a raging river.

Scotland can not afford this so-called Union…… it’s time to go!

There is a route out, let’s take it.

Last week we learned that while the country was raging with COVID, the power house, the place that we expected to make the big decisions to care for us, was actually being run in a state of chaos. Was Scotland any better? Not really.

It is the duty of governments to care for their people, they failed, and are still failing.

Why is it, that we, the people always end up bailing out failed governments? We always have to pay for their mistakes.

How about reversing the situation? We make the decisions and the politicians have to do as they are told! It’s called Direct Democracy, and yes it does work…..look at Switzerland!

What do we have to lose?

Liberate Scotland believes in Direct Democracy because they know what works!

Join the new kids on the block!

A party, any party can only ride on its history for so long. Good policies made years ago do not entitle them to stay in government forever. Todays problems must be met with today’s solutions.

LS comes with fresh eyes and fresh ideas. They see the errors and are determined to fix them. They see how efficiently other countries are run and will not duck from the responsibility of pursuing these examples of best practice. No more jobs for pals…..just the people!

As the Union disintegrates we need to rebuild the foundations of Scotland with honesty and integrity. Liberate Scotland was created to do just that.

There is no such thing as a ‘rebel without a cause’…these rebels know their cause, it is Independence, nothing less!

Last week, my brother had a TIA [ transient ischemic attack ] not entirely unexpected at his age with AF, but what was disturbing was that his doctor missed a warning sign two weeks earlier, even though a Paramedic highlighted the possibility to the doctor.

Warning signs are important and political ones are no less important. We keep hearing words like ‘the writing is on the wall’ but we plod on as if it had nothing to do with us…..but it has everything to do with us!

Why?

Because every bad decision our political masters make…our lives and pockets pay for it.

We need more defience not compliance!

When politicians come with excuses, take it as a warning sign, things will only get worse. You only have to look at the Energy costs to see what I mean.

Just look at what Scotland produces, yet pays the highest costs in Europe.

Take a step back and start asking yourself the hard questions first. Then ask yourself what you can do about it….. Because believe it or not you are not as helpless as you think you are!

The comeback starts here, this is the place you STOP feeling helpless and start taking back control. This is the place where, eventually your energy prices will start to come down because you will control them!

Liberate Scotland believes in Direct Democracy but it will be up to you to make it happen through them. There is no ‘magic fairy’…..you are it, like it or not!

If we want change…….WE must be that change!

No opt-outs, no excuses…..we either want it or we don’t!

Scotland will never be Independent unless those 55% become active…..be it hitting the streets or hitting the keys we must apply the pressure needed to cause the political earthquake required in Scotland.

The warning signs are there, Scotland is being sold off one piece at a time to the big profiteering companies whose bank accounts lie offshore!

Apathy kills……dont be the one who kills the dream!

I know it’s the Mail, but if true this could be both an environmental disaster and a human disaster.

The question is, are these the same kind used in this country?

…..and now they want the Chinese to build a nuclear power station in the south of England.

This is exactly the kind of thing deregulated zones bring with them…..danger to life!!

Labour is not for you!

Devolution is not for you!

Exactly what kind of disaster has to hit this country before people wake up?

Nothing happens by accident but always by design!

There is a reason behind every decision made, always money…. never the people…at least not in a good way. We are expendable, profit is essential.

It is laughable that the only worry certain MPs had was worrying about the Chinese spying on us…..who would want to spy on such idiots..….they are a joke…..the place is run on a programme of chaos.

Is this not the most important thing we can do for Scotland?

Given the above report let’s see how long it takes for anyone, be it the Scottish Gov or Westminster to ban or at very least have these blades checked out.

Don’t hold your breath.

The lack of due process in regulations is breathtaking.

Now it also seems, corruption has gone up to the highest echelons of government with TWO Lords suspended for taking cash for access….

Well, the corruption stops here!

Every vote for LS will ensure that.

A new breed of politician has been born in Scotland, they don’t come with silver spoons in their mouths or ‘offshore accounts’. So what makes them different and why do I call them ‘gentle giants’?

For a start, they are able to hold their heads up high, untainted by the murky waters that flow within politics per se these days. And yes, there have been offers by some who have seen their potential and in their refusal have saught revenge.

When people have integrity bribes don’t work, therefore in my eyes, they are giants already with heads held high.……a rare sight in politics!

And when I use the word ‘gentle’ I don’t mean they are pushovers, they will stand their ground, on that you can be sure. Along with that strength comes ‘care’ and that comes through life’s hard experiences.

Liberate Scotland has their feet on the ground just like the rest of us. Three groups of people made a groundbreaking decision to put country before Party and work together, and it’s working so well, that rumour has it, others are considering copying the concept. Only their idea is to ‘divide and rule’.

To try and copy an original is only to create a Fake….but then we’ve been here before, have we not?

We make so many assumptions about people without first getting to know them.

Don’t make ‘postcode’ assumptions!

Get to know the candidates from LS who will be standing in your constituency, you will be pleasantly surprised at just how much in common you have with them.

They are your kind of people.

Wishes are only wishes until your X is in the right box in the right kind of Election!

A Plebiscite Election is recognised internationally as a kind of Referendum.

Now, one would think that the SNP Scottish Government having been denied a Referendum again and again would be eager to take this route at the earliest opportunity…….but no.

Having just returned from a baltic Galloway 😂😂, I was not surprised the Tories got in, in this latest Council Election. What did surprise me was the Reform vote in Stranraer.

This should come as a warning to us all, given that they have deliberately bankrupt Kent council so that they can privatise all the services.

Scotland can no longer afford to kick the Independence can down the road. If the SNP won’t deliver, then these people will.

But…..there’s always a ‘but’! They cannot do it without your help!

If 55% is the new figure, those 55% will have to become Active not passive!

Here is a question for you, why have our energy prices suddenly risen to fund a new nuclear power station to be built in the South of England? Will we benefit….NO!

Once again we are subsidising England whilst our own energy prices are the highest in Britain.

Have you had enough……I have.

Time to end this two-horse race in Scotland between SNP & Labour. For real change, both must go!

This week in the Budget we will see where Westminsters priorities really lie. Blame for the mess will be apportioned and it will become apparent to all very quickly as to who they blame by the taxes that rise. They may or may not be direct but when added up they will tell a story!

Let your voice be heard next May and we can start our own story!

Liberate Scotland will certainly be heard over the next few months…….WILL YOU JOIN THEM?

How often do we hear the words ‘I hate politics’? This is because we only relate the word to governments and their decisions.

The real meaning behind the word politics is Power, and like it or not we all play that game every day. There is a ‘power broker’ in every household. He/she who makes the rules is the political ruler of that family. Your boss, plays politics every day.

We rarely see or hear an honest politician because no matter how good his or her initial intentions were….. they will be turned. That is the nature of Party Politics, they demand loyalty and that is why they have ‘whips’.

It is how that ‘power’ is used that matters to us all.

Here in Scotland we have experienced both good and bad in how our government have used their power. Many of us would say that when it came to the GRA it was an abuse of power, one that I guess many women will not forget next May!

Now they want to introduce a Bill that allows abortions up to the time of birth!…. think about that for a minute. Was this in their manifesto 5 years ago? Would you have voted for it?

But let us not forget the real power brokers……the men in grey suits aided and abetted by the bad actors planted within many of the groups and Parties in Scotland.

Not all Yesers are Yesers! As I said, politics can be played out on any stage.

Let Scotland be measured by its achievements, past, present and future. What we build now will be for our children and grandchildren, we cannot let them down.

Those we put into power next May will have the chance to bring about the change we need.

It is change we need, not continuity……let the rebels rise!

The choices we make next May will decide not only the route Scotland will take but will also show the kind of people we are. Do we allow our MSPs to do their own thing once in power or do we, the people take that power away from them by introducing Direct Democracy?

It’s a numbers game, we need people in Holyrood that can hold the balance of power and hold the main parties to their promises……and no hidden agendas!

Liberate Scotland is made up of such people. They are your people.

They will stand up whilst others cower!

Contrary to what most people think, chronic indigestion is not just about what food we eat, it can also be caused by what we feed our minds with!

How many times have you said when hearing or reading something ‘I’m sick to death with all this’? You say it because you really do feel physically sick. Our brains and nerves affect our stomachs.

Politics isn’t just divisive, it’s become deadly and not content with that they happily discuss ways of helping us on our way!

Suddenly both south and north of the border the discussion is about controlling the number of people, not caring for the people.

It is an established fact that criminals are better cared for than the elderly.

A civilised country used to be measured by how it cared for its older people. Now it is either, how much money can we make from them or how do we get rid of them.

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2025/nov/12/private-care-providers-in-three-english-regions-make-250m-in-three-years

I saw this coming 30 years ago when Local Authorities started closing their Care Homes in favour of Private ones and even back then it was all about money.

Care costs, we all know that, but it is a fact that a person was always better cared for in LA homes rather than private. That was because LA homes had to adhere to certain laws and standards that private ones didn’t.

And guess what? Freeports and SIZs are run and promoted for exactly the same reasons….general laws and standards do not apply!!

We must stop this downward spiral now.

We need politicians who have high standards, not those who will sell their granny to the highest bidder.

Liberate Scotland believes in expectancy, they know people expect their politicians not only to deliver but to do so honestly.

They have set themselves a high bar, one that has the Unionists raging😅

They bring hope not acute indigestion!

If the government of the day is not working for the people, then who is it working for?

As the chaos continues in Downing St, one does wonder who is benefiting from it all, because someone is.

Nothing ever happens by accident and that also applies to Scotland. Fires do not ignite by themselves, someone always strikes the match!

We often use the term ‘bad actor’ in politics, but what does that term mean?

A “bad actor” in politics is a person, group, or even nation that engages in malicious, unethical, or dishonest behavior for personal gain or to cause harm. This can include spreading disinformation, using divisive rhetoric, making unrealistic promises, or exploiting vulnerabilities to undermine trust and manipulate systems. 

Given the above definition, it does not take a genius to put 2 and 2 together and come up with 4 given the stramash on SM just now amongst Yessers.

But who and where do these ‘bad actors’ reside and how much influence do they have?

Remember, everything that happens is planned!

The question now for us all is, who will rise and be bold enough to raise the Saltire and March on?

Where will we find the great minds who will find solutions and run with them?

My guess is here, because they have nothing to lose by doing so, but everything to gain!

We can not allow the ‘bad actors’ to keep setting the agenda, we have to be smarter than them…..and remember ‘ bad actors’ really are bad actors and one day they will trip themselves up!!

We all know we will have to fight for Independence, it will never be given to us. The point is are we up for the fight?

How big is your dream?

When obstacles appear, it is a sign you are on the right road and the Unionists fear us.

This being the case, join the gang who won’t step down but will step over!!

When it comes to the good things in life, homemade is always the best.

Governments force people down the ‘cheapest’ route. It’s all about imports and exports. Margaret Thatcher started it all when she closed the coalmines to import coal from Russia, and just look at where that has taken us today. We are reliant on nearly everything from other countries….and it gets worse….we sell energy and import energy!! It sounds crazy and it is crazy.

It’s all about trade and economics, not forgetting profits!!

The English made political parties don’t give one jot about the people. The thought of being self-sufficient is a great big NO.

Trade is important, Scotland was aways better at it than England, that was part of the problem as far back as the 1600-1700s.

But with ‘cheap’ come problems. It means closing down industries, it can also lead to a very unhealthy nation which in turn means running a very expensive NHS [SNHS]

The balance has tipped as profits are put before people.

Farms are being decimated in favour of private energy firms in the name of ‘net zero’.

Fishermen have been sold down the river….not to mention the dodgy salmon!

Scotland was always known for producing the best of everything, from food to clothes. Yes, they were more expensive but they lasted. Unfortunately, we now live in a society that runs on today’s fashion and cheap throwaway clothes.

Takeaways have replaced healthy meals.

At school, I was taught how to cook and sew enhanced by my mother’s teaching at home. Am I being over critical when I say education these days strives more on attainment rather than common sense and practicalities?

Old is not useless, and we can get back to the best of it. As someone said, ‘we have the means, we just need the power’!!

To do that we need to be Independent and rise again to the nation we once were.

Let’s rewrite the rules!

We are not products of our circumstances, we are products of our choices. Our choice now is, do we better ourselves or stay in a rut?

At present, we cannot stop this, and the reason we can’t is because we have an SNP government who has refused to use the mandate given to them.

They say, ‘these are reserved matters’, with Holyrood just being a devolved Parliament.

The mandate, given by the people of Scotland, was to get us independence. Something they have failed spectacularly to do. If a school report was to be written it would say either ‘didn’t try harder enough’ or ‘try harder’!

Continually knocking on a locked door is not good enough. It shows either complicity or a lack of ingenuity.

The only people not looking in on themselves at the moment in Scotland are Liberate Scotland.

The rest, and this includes some ‘groups’, are so busy trying to save themselves, they have forgotten their purpose……the People! Then of course there are those who when it comes to Independence will try and destroy from within.

They fan the flames when fires appear.

In the end though, it will be the determination of the people of Scotland who will win the day.

But just how determined are we?

These people are very determined!

Sometimes, if you can’t stop the flow, you have to be flexible enough to go with it by changing the negatives into positives. “One man’s rubbish is another man’s gold.”

Scotlands future possibilities are endless, get that into our heads and we can win this.

Our present SNP government has no flexibility because it lacks the courage to challenge Westminster on the big issues like the Constitution.

Why keep rolling over, when you can step over?

Salvo have produced the tool, and we now know Scotland was ‘captured’ illegally and without the people’s say. And the UN is the stage to highlight that truth.

Liberate Scotland, will not roll over to anyone or any organisation.

They remain focused on the task at hand. Independence!
