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……

Political parties either move on or they die!

There’s history and there’s history! For years now the SNP have lived on their past history of making good decisions….and yes, many were good! But that was a few years back, and no party no matter how good they were can continue to ride those memories.

Politics is a moving bus and the Labour one is about to crash. There are lies and there are lies, and Reeves has just invented a new level.

This however offers Scotland an opportunity, the old two horse race between the SNP & Labour will vanish. But what about Reform you may ask…..well, what about them?

What exactly do they offer?

Controlled immigration? Be very careful what you wish for on that one…. Because what you mean by ‘control’ may be far removed from their plans, which may reach back several generations! Add to that the end of the NHS, the end of welfare and possibly the OA pension. Reform comes with one agenda and one only……Privatisation!

But Reform is not the only new Political Party, there is also Your Party. It appears though that ‘Your Party’ is turning out not to be every ones party, with even the Deputy Leader refusing to attend its inaugural conference.

On the other hand, north of the border, Unity reigns and this lot partied well into the wee hours. No pouts, just laughter and a few glasses in hands!

A determined band of people who believe in Scotlands potential and that of all Scots.

Scotlands potential is under Westminsters lock and key.

…..and until we unlock Box 1 we cannot unlock Box 2.

One unlocks the other, but our SNP government is refusing to use the keys they have in their hands. A Plebiscite Election would act as a replacement Referendum……the one Westminster won’t give us.

We need to ask why that key is not being used.

Your persistent questions and demands of your MSPs could unlock the boxes……..failing that, these people will!

They work hard and play hard with one purpose: to break the stalemate.Their campaign is financed by the people, for the people… no brown envelopes allowed!

The outcomes of honest men and women will always outweigh the incomes of the grifters.

If there is one undisputed fact it is, if you vote for a party registered in England, you are voting with and for the Union.

It matters not one iota what goodies are on offer….a party registered in England is English and for England only! Once they have your vote…..they have you and your dream for Independence is over.

A vote for an English party can be taken as your acceptance and compliance with the status quo whether you realise it or not.

And sadly a vote for a Devolutionists party is of equal folly.

Unfortunately the Electoral Commision is also birthed in England, but we have no option but to obey their rules and regulations…for now!!

The only vote that will count towards eventual Independence next May will be a vote for a party or union of parties that is 100% for Independence.

The chaos we are experiencing just now will only change if we change it.

We all believe in Democracy but the kind of Democracy we have just now is not working. In a new Scotland, the drawing board is blank, therefore we can re-write the rules to suit our needs. The point being, it will be the Sovereign People of Scotland who will have the last say.

Today, in a town in mid-Scotland a group of rebels, whose sole purpose is Independence and to hold politicians accountable for their actions are meeting to launch their campaign.

They want….an Independent Scotland.

They want….honesty in Politics.

They want….the voices of the people heard.

They want….Scotlands resources kept in Scotland.

They want…..women to feel safe.

They will… hit the restart button on a new era in politics.

Remember every oak tree started off as an acorn, don’t dismiss the ‘sma folk’, become one of them.

The train is rolling….. get on the right one!

Their destination is your destination…..together we can cause an earthquake in Scottish politics.

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!
