Words are important, they hold meaning and power, and the reframing or adding onto them can change everything.

Yesterday, at PMs questions Starmer added three words to a promise made.

In an answer to the opposition leaders Q about how much energy prices had dropped, not only was the first part questionable, but he then added, “that’s on top of the £150 we’ve taken off last year for the 3m poorest families.”

Since when was the promise to reduce energy bills for the poorest families only?

Starmer is a Lawyer, so he knows the importance of words and how to use them. The adding of a word here and there can morph the whole meaning of a promise and he hopes we won’t notice!

As Prime Minister it is his job to defend the people, not act as a Prosecutor!

We are being persecuted for their choices. Choices that have been made for the benefit of the few.

We cannot let the Devolutionists in the Scottish Government kick the Independence can further down the road, because very soon that road will run out and the Scotland we know will no longer exist.

We are now in, what could referred to as ‘the last chance saloon’! By the time we come to the next GE [2029] all of the deregulated Freeports and special zones will have kicked in and there’s no going back. All these deals have been neatly wrapped up in the ISDS chains.[ the legal framework that binds all the deals, and there’s no escape!]

…..and the terrifying thing is, our SNP government knows this!

Both Starmer and Reeves seem to think that all Yessers are SNP! Well, it’s time to show them that the cause for Independence belongs to all Scots!

Holyrood could make 2026 a plebiscite election, we must pressure them to do so.

Every Yes vote must be counted as a vote for Independence, not to do so would be an act of self-harm.

Waiting is no longer an option, the Freeport virus is spreading, don’t buy into the lie of waiting until 2029!

There was a time when deals and manoeuvres were made behind closed doors, not any more! With Labour, they are heralded in with much panache, even before the plan is finalised! Integrity has been replaced by reward for dishonesty

Angela Rayners comeback campaign has started…and how!

With a ringing endorsement by Starmer himself.

Politics has certainly changed since Starmer arrived, even parliament is being bypassed in some instances.

‘Two-tier’ seems to cover everything these days.

We have ‘ two-tier’ policing.

We have a two-tier justice system.

We have a ‘two-tier’ benefits system.

We have a two-tier’ OAP Tax system.

Need I go on?

All the changes that are taking place are not for us but for political expedience.

Is it any better in Scotland?

Well, I suppose that depends on how politically savvy one is. There are those who can recognise a ‘chancer’ when they see or hear one. Peter Bell eloquently wrote about one in his blog yesterday…..our FM!

I suppose the question I would ask is, when is a promise not a promise?

A promise without a plan is not really a promise, it’s just wishful thinking dressed up as a promise to get votes!

For a plan to have any credence, there has to be a starting point and an ending.

The bit in between has to be flexible enough to move with the other variables that may happen. That is why we need people in Holyrood who are both focused and flexible.

Liberate Scotland is made up of such people.

No one knows for certain what the outcome of the Decolonisation route will be. Yes, it’s looking positive and yes the response from other countries is also refreshing but we will have to wait for the details before XY&Z can be put in place. So maybe we need to look at various ways of moving forward, not just one!

I am pretty sure that within Liberation Scotlands three groups, each will have an idea of how to move forward with others, and at this point all are viable….from democracy to currency!!

Independence does not belong to any one party, the dream belongs to everyone. But we need people to make it happen.

Determined people, not ones who will bow their heads or knees! When our FM bows to Charles, he is acknowledging Charles’s sovereignty not ours!

You cannot say the People are Sovereign then bow to a foreign King.

Liberate Scotland has been created to start putting a lot of wrongs right!

It was never going to be easy, but then, nothing worth having ever is.

There is a difference between ‘desire’ and ‘determination’, as individuals we have to decide which one we have!

The race for Independence is not for the faint-hearted. Many have already fallen at the first hurdle, that hurdle was asking for a second referendum. A door that only this week, has once again been firmly slammed shut in our faces. To keep on trying is just folly and could even be interpreted as a weakness in the inability to seek other options.

Scotland is awakening from its long sleep, the dream now needs to become a reality.

But it will take nearly every one of us to make it so. First we need to heal the divisions that seperate us.

Liberate Scotland is the first umbrella group to do this. They dared to believe that it was possible for Independence parties and groups to work together……to unite under a common cause.

I4I, ISP & Sovereignty believed it could be done and did it! Their focus is Independence, nothing else.

Their plan, to get as many candidates as possible elected next year in Holyrood

To: hold all Independence MSPs to account on their promises to make Scotland Independent by whichever route is open at the time. Which at the moment looks like the Decolonisation route.

To: bring power back into the hands of the People.

To: bring some backbone back into Scottish politics in Holyrood.

No more ‘cap in hand’!

And if you want an uplifting film to watch over Christmas, I recommend this on Amazon Prime!!

They made an event happen and so can we next May!

Now is the time to put pressure on the Scottish Government for a plebiscite election in 2026! They need to answer a question…..if not next year…..why not?

They have the power, but why are they not using it?

Have they become the obstacle to Independence?

It would appear many MPs have forgotten who voted for them..

Unfortunately in the system we have, ordinary people will have to become politicians before anything can change.

Therefore it is imperative that we choose the right people for Holyrood next year.

We need people who have the courage to change the status quo. The kind of Democracy Scotland needs is still up for discussion, but one thing is clear, something needs to change.

Today’s politicians forget they are there to serve us not dictate to us. They were elected according to their manifestos, and manifestos are not like, or should not be like the Budget! During a budget announcement we only get the headlines, not the small print!!

With Liberate Scotland you won’t get a long list of promises hoping to lure you into their net. What you will get is one promise, the promise to make Independence their priority.

There is no ‘quick’ route, but the one on the table at the moment is legal, and that is the Decolonisation route of Salvo/Liberation Scotland. That being so, means we must all get behind it.

What happens once a decision has been made will be up to the Scottish Politicians in Holyrood. They will have to act on it or not act! This is why it is imperative to have people in Holyrood who will take things forward. It’s a process.

The one thing that is different about the candidates in LS is that they do not wish to become career politicians. Like surgeons, they will go in, do the job and then hand over to others.

Power needs to be handed back to the People in a democracy that works for us.

ISP prefers Direct Democracy, but even that has many models. But in the end it will be you, the People of Scotland who decide.

Join this radical group and help take Scotland back.

We are all flying a flag and it is our actions or non-actions that show which one!

I see the subject of immigration is beginning to take precedence in the Scottish media. This is deliberate, anything to take us away from the discussion about Independence and cause division.

We must not let the media lead the conversation. Don’t forget who owns them. They have an agenda and it’s not ours!

There is an art in politics and we see it play out in many councils after an election. This happens when opposing parties tag onto each other to oust an overall winner in the election. Opposites, making secret deals in order to gain power. This is not Democracy.

Now, what could happen in Scotland if a new Tag Team came into being? One, not made up of opposites but of like-minded people with one goal….Independence.

A Tag Team that is coordinated and focused. Working together for you and Scotland.

A team focused on outcomes not incomes.

A team that knows that Power should reside with the People.

A team that wants to involve you every step of the way.

Become part of this team and have your say.

Now is the time to fly the Saltire and let everyone know that your heart lies in Scotland and you will not give in to Westminster anymore. Their time is up, they have overstayed their welcome.

The choice is yours, nobody can make it for you. We either start to make the changes in 2026 or we remain compliant in the biggest robbery that has ever taken place.

Donations are important, even more so if you are a major player in any election. When it comes to elections the SNP know how to splash the cash, this is not a critism, its in the nature of politics and political parties to do this.

My question is, what happens when the river runs dry?

When one is used to thinking ‘big’ how easy is it to downsize?

This is where smaller parties have the advantage, they are used to thinking smart!

Liberate Scotland knows the value of donations and the sacrifices of those who donate.

Their strapline is, ‘Outcomes not Incomes’. Those words alone show their priorities.

Money helps when it comes to campaigning, of course it does, but it should never become more important than people.

And the people we trust to spend our donations are also important.

The candidates in LS have put their personal ambitions aside to fill a gap. A gap created by a party once sworn to bring us Independence but now continually backtracks on that promise.

LS candidates may not bring big money but they do bring truth and honesty, a rare phenomenon in politics.

They support the Decolonisation route rather than the Referendum route. In other words, they recognise a closed door when they see it and won’t waste your money trying to open it.

Liberate Scotland will press the re-start button for Independence, will you join them?

Dancing in the park on a cold winters day, is what Scotland does best!

Apparently even budding politicians can also make the atmosphere “electrifying” when celebrating. Such was the description of the Liberate Scotland Party on Friday night.

Sadly I was not there to meet these good folk, my head objects to loud music and flashing lights these days, plus the fact of having a heavy cold. Hopefully, one day soon I will meet the ones I haven’t so far.

But to have the word ‘electrifying’ attached to such a group shows they are different and are being noticed.

Is this not what we need?

A new kind of politics, one that re-lights the spark we once had for an independent Scotland.

I see many headlines saying ‘Labour’s day of reckoning is coming’. Well, let me tell you: for the Unionists deeply embedded within some of our organisations, their day of reckoning is also coming.….. and yes, they are known.

Many things in this world can be denied, but not the will of a determined people, who will never give up.

Every dam has a weak point, and Salvo has found Westminsters and the world is taking notice. Scotlands true history has been exposed and with it shows the lies and treachery of the English Parliament.

The clock is ticking and we are edging ever nearer the year we can start to make a difference. The future is in our hands…..yes our hands!

There will be ‘carrots’ and there will be truth. We must learn the lessons of 2024 and not just jump on the easiest bandwagon being offered. The only thing that can help Scotland now is, for Scotland people to fix Scotlands problems.

I read today that Starmer is being called out out for saying, he always thinks about Scotland when making decisions……you bet he does, but not in a good way! With him it’s always about how much more there is that he can take from Scotland.

Scotland is Englands money tree!

Well, it’s time to stop the theft….Scotland never ceded its land or seas to England.

There is no ‘United Kingdom’ but there is a united team!

And it’s called Liberate Scotland, a team ready to fight with you and for you for Scotland.

A team made up of people like yourselves, who have experienced the hardships of life, a team who have decided enough is enough.

History shows that Scotland had, in the past a system that worked and worked well. Our educators were the envy of the world and a trade network that England envied. We were a great nation that stood proud on the world stage, and there is no reason why we can’t be one again.

The rebels are rising, above are some of them but there’s room for more.

This is not a rebellion to be fought out on a battlefield as of old, but a battle for the hearts and minds of a people who have had enough of domination by an English Parliament that treats us as second-class citizens.

If you have had enough, then Liberate Scotland is the place for you.

The time for just talking about Independence is over, we are now at the business end of the discussion. We must act now

or lose everything.

As campaigns, here in Scotland start to ramp up, personal decisions must be made.

Are you in or are you out?

Are you for Independence or against it?

If you are ‘for it’ then sitting back and letting the ‘few’ do the work just doesn’t cut it anymore. To do this means the battle is over before it starts!

Everyone of us can do something!

We need to find the mojo we had pre Referendum and make the numbers + happen. We do this by voting only for parties whose life and soul is about Independence and Independence only.

Thanks to Salvo we have a route out through Decolonisation, its a long route but the train is rolling, and that is what matters. We may even have to, eventually, take PB’s route of UDI, what matters in both is the numbers!

Next May, we must show the will of the People above all else.

The thing we can not do is to keep lurching from crisis to crisis, especially man-made ones from Westminster. Every day the country just gets a little bit darker.

We need to change the optics, focus on what we can do, not what we can’t do.

Last Friday night a group of people held a party, it was said the atmosphere was electric. So, what have this group of would-be politicians found that could possibly be so ‘electifying’?

Could it be the power of people coming together in unity of purpose?

Every country that has fought and won Independence started with a group of people focused on the endgame.

These people are indeed focused…

Focused on Independence.

Focused on true Democracy.

Focused on truth.

Focused on what Scotlands People need and want.

….and when you meet such people, you feel the difference and the buzz!

So, let’s get on with the business end of Independence!

When it comes to solving problems and thinking outside of the box, some countries have it, others do not.

Many in Scotland are stuck in a box that constrains their every movement.

2025 is not 2020, the world has moved on, Scotland has moved on…..and how! We now live in a world of ‘Deregulated zones’ for a start. These are large chunks of land and cities now run by foreign conglomerates. Scotlands land owned by Scotlands People is disappearing before our eyes. Fences are going up, where once there were none. The rules within those fences are not the ones we have to abide by….. that’s what ‘deregulated’ means, one rule for them another for us. We pay taxes….theirs can be scaled down to near zero! Guess who fills the gap? ……us!

Councils won’t attribute their Council Tax rises to these, they are afraid to….but it’s happening. Add to that the huge, and I mean huge pay rises for Council senior staff. In Argyll & Bute alone the figure stands at £158000! This is not wages, it is wage rises!!

The system needs to be ripped up and a new model put in place….it was offered…..so what happened? Is this another area where the Scottish Government have run out of ideas?

We are bound by old remedies for new problems.

Scotland needs new blood in Holyrood, new thinkers…..agitators!

These people look like the kind of rebels we need and there are others willing to stand up and be counted.

They are definitely agitating some people😅😅

Fancy being a rebel? Then come and join them.

Rosa Parks sat in a ‘white’ seat on a bus and changed history in America.

Be the one who makes the change and make political history next year.

Start by stepping out of the box.

When it comes to ‘mind tricks’, Labour tops the table….until the truth emerges…..then its everyone for themselves!

I wonder how many hours Reeves spent last night rehearsing her excuses!

I noted one, ‘I couldn’t run a budget on a £4b+ surplus…..maybe not, but she could have admitted there was extra in the kitty, just not enough for her give away….so she invented another black hole…. well why not, the first one worked well?

In Scotland, Holyrood has to balance the books, we never see Treasury accounts. We are meant to believe everything the government says. However, this time it appears the lies have been so big that the OBR have had to step in.

The big question is, did she and her boss try to manipulate the markets? My understanding is, that would have been unlawful, unlike just lying to us!!

You see, that’s my problem with today’s politicians, lying has become a political art and they do it with impunity!

As long as we have a system where our politicians can lie to us without consequences, we have a democracy that does not work.

In Scotland when it comes to writing constitutions and deciding what kind of Democracy we want, the important thing is, that it is the people who choose. There are many kinds, and some ‘hybrids’!! Whatever is chosen, I hope it includes ‘recall’!!

One thing is for sure, just as we cannot run our lives on lies, we cannot run a country on lies. It’s like trying to run a car on dodgy fuel, at some point it will break down with no AA to tow it away.

We can work with truth, but not lies.

Liberate Scotland is made up of people who are prepared to challenge the lies, particularly the one that says we are an equal partner in a Union…. we are neither equal nor in a Union…..and if you cannot grasp that…we are lost.

These people and more have a grip on the truth.

….and they will use it to bring down the lies.

2026 is the year we need to hold our SNP government’s feet to the fire. We need to know why they are shying away from a legal plebiscite election.

Either they are ‘feart’ or they have dropped the ball and are not ready for what might follow……or, are they just Devolutionists?

Either way, these people will not……
