There is a huge difference between flip-flopping all over the place and changing direction. One comes from chaos the other seeing reality.

The road we have always thought would take us to Independence has now been slammed shut. For years Westminster dropped hints and even dropped the occasional carrot that gave us hope. They even gave us a kind of Referendum but then altered the rules when things weren’t going their way. The Vow…remember?

It was a close shave for Westminster, obviously not one to be repeated. Since then, our powers have been reigned in rather than the promised expansion.

Surely the time has come for the our SNP government to recognize that route is closed and another must be found. Referendums might well be the gold A1 standard but they are not the only road.

The UN Decolonisation route was set up for such reasons. It is not a quick fix to a problem, it’s hard, very hard to go down this route. Much harder than organising a Referendum.

The history of ones country is not easy to find when the coloniser goes to great lengths to hide or even alter the facts.

This is not helped by the fact that the country’s people have to be re-educated. To learn that 90% of what you have been taught was a lie is not easy to get your head around.…..many can’t, for some the change is just too much.

When the genie is out of the bottle we can’t put it back in, so we have to figure out what to do with it.

Thankfully we have Salvo and Liberation to show us the way, we just need to find the courage to change our way of thinking.

And yes, it takes courage to change….but that change will make us stronger people.

Independence will require full commitment from all of us, the road we take to it will require full commitment from all of us. This is why next year’s Election is so important.

It will be a chance for us, the people to say what direction we wish to take and how we want to take it.

Direct Democracy is about People, not Politicians.

A leap of faith, but how big a leap….?

Don’t whatever you do allow fear stop you from moving forward. Every country that has ever tried to free itself from our English coloniser has been told it couldn’t afford to, even tiny Malta.

The collateral damage that will come after Independence will come to England, not Scotland.

The facts speak for themselves meaning the leap will not be as bad as Unionists make out. The problem I see is not the economy but those we chose to run the economy! Will we allow Politicians to run off with their pet projects costing millions or will we choose a system controlled by us?

The thing about Direct Democracy is that it’s not a one-size-fits-all. It can be adapted to fit our needs and tweaked as required.

Amongst countries in Europe that use this method are Switzerland, Luxembourg and Malta, all have adopted their own unique models.

Just think about it…..no more ancient traditions, no more fancy dress!!!

No more Lords and Ladies….just us….the People!

Let’s go for it!

The door is open for success but we must walk through it. There must be a coming together of all Independence minded groups and Parties. The Politics can wait, Independence can’t!

Starmer is right, the world has changed and not in a good way. It is therefore more imperative than ever that Scotland steps out of this Union.

There is an unseen power creeping over Scotland that few are noticing, it is called Privatisation. By the time their power kicks in it will be too late and our democratic rights will have been diminished even down to the running of Local Councils.

Big businesses will call the shots and that means profit before people.

Words are only words until someone puts them into action. It is easy to say ‘there is far more that unites us than divides us’ but if you’re only way of fixing the division is to make people take your path then you are a long way off understanding what Unity means.

Scots are not stupid and it is becoming very clear to many just who wants Independence and who wants to cling onto or take the power.

If the 2026 Election is to work and be recognised as a Pleblicite election there can be no three-way split, therefore it will be incumbent upon members of all Parties to vote as individuals for a Liberated Scotland.

We must recognise the power we hold in our vote.

Coming together is the first step, keeping together is the next and to do that we must all keep our eye on the prize….the only prize…..Independence. The nuts and bolts can be dealt with after the election as the wheeling and dealing starts!

Remember Liberate Scotland is not a Party it is an umbrella headline we can all stand under yet remain autonomous…..but you must get your Party or organization under it for it to work.

Power lies with the People, not Political Parties!

Working together will bring success so please stop sniping at others. We stand together or we fail!

I often write about choices and consequences of our actions.

What we say or do in the heat of the moment can have consequences far beyond just personal ones.

Every party and organization has what I call ‘lone wolves’ within its membership. Some can be rained in, but others will invariably do their own thing, giving no thought to the wider consequences of their actions. They are not team members, their egos won’t let them be.

When a ‘lone wolf’ steps out of line, how an organization or party deals with the situation will define it forever.

The act of the ‘lone wolf’ becomes secondary to the response of those at the top table.

I get that sometimes the act of the ‘lone wolf’ can be seen by some as funny or even appropriate but if Laws have been broken, we jump into a different dimension!

Bad publicity is bad publicity in any shape or form.

Politicians are not good when it comes to these kind of problems…..they should be because, they get plenty of practice!! Organizations however can be shaken to the core, this would not be the time to buckle, but time to buckle up!…… and show strong leadership skills.

We have some strong leaders in Scotland and the continual battle for Liberation will bring them to the fore, some are already at the front, and others are still growing into that role. They will all require our support for the times difficulties may arise.

We grow through trials and tribulations and part of that is having to make some tough decisions. Believe me, I know what its like to have to make tough decisions about colleagues at work.

Sentimentalism should never replace professionalism. It can run alongside it but not replace it.

Liberate Scotland.

When it comes to Unity within the YES movement, there is always room for more to come to the top table!

The more groups and Parties prepared to put Scotland first before themselves, the greater the chance of success.

For any campaign to be a success you have to know what your audience want and Liberate Scotland certainly knows what the YES movement wants. Liberation, [Independence] for Scotland and Unity within the movement.

The days of depending on London giving the nod to Referendums have gone, another road has opened up and it is right to take it. There is no shame in saying ‘We tried’, the shame is pretending it’s still open and still the only one.

Liberation believes in Direct democracy, where People not Politicians hold the power, this appears to be a bridge too far for some others.

I invite you just to take a step back and look at where we are just now with our present crop of Politicians and Parties. Britain is now one of the most corrupt countries in the world. We live in a world of dodgy deals and backhanders. Private companies decree what happens and when and you and I pay the price.

Direct Democracy offers something very different and many countries are taking that route, no wonder some would be politicians fear it!

Power in the hands of the People…..not just a dream but a real possibility!

Make your vote a vote for Scotland.

Only a few weeks ago I felt an air of optimism regarding a unifying move towards Liberation, [ Independence ].

Positive words were spoken, a promise even to hold a hand out to other Independence Parties. A motion was passed supporting Salvo’s case going to the UN…it all looked and felt so positive.

Did so many of the wider movement really misunderstand the words we heard, did we just hear what we wanted to hear or was there something else happening behind the scenes?

Has Alba misunderstood the thinking behind all the YES groups and Parties coming under the one Banner of Liberation yet still being able to remain autonomous and stand their Candidates?

I am genuinely curious because, for a Plebiscite Election to work, we must work together. Five groups are already working under the Liberate Scotland umbrella…..so whats’s the problem Kenny?

The problem with ‘lone wolves’ is they end up isolated, which by the looks of it, is exactly what’s happening here. In Politics the power is in numbers, none more so than in next year’s election.

Thankfully we each have our own vote, so we will each bear the responsibility of making our vote for Libertion count.

Self-promotion is one thing but let us be careful we don’t turn it into arrogance.

Collaboration with others will win the day for Scotland.

Moving on from trauma is not easy but it is something we must do in order to survive and what better motivation could I have than this….

I…..we are biological women after all!

The response from the Scottish Government, or parts of it will be interesting.

Over the past few years, there has been a section of our society who for their reasons have tried to diminish not only the rights of women but change the whole definition of what a woman is. Today they lost that fight and now we women must walk forward with our heads held high demanding these wrongs be righted and our rights be respected.

Sex not gender is the Law!

Our Scottish MSPs who have succumbed to this ideology should hang their heads in shame…….but will they?

The organizations that fell into line must also beat a retreat, including Fife NHS!

It is indeed a day to celebrate and I feel proud to be part of a Party that put sex before Gender and no self-ID.

Let us now move on to another battle, moving together under one banner.

If I have learned anything over the past few weeks it is to keep my mouth shut and my mind open!

It is a lesson many need to learn whether grieving or not. A little bit of understanding of where others are at would go a long way to healing many hurts.

Wee Scots may be ‘canny’ but we can also be very verbal and it is that verbosity that can lead us into all kinds of bother. Once the word or words are out, they are out and the hardest word to find after that is…….sorry!

I may have been silent through my own grief lately but I have been watching and listening and what I have seen and heard amid all the fallouts makes me ask myself, can we rise above it or will we allow the prize to slip between our hands?

In a game of chess, it is not always wise to sacrifice the pawns.

But this is not a game and we need to take everyone with us. Let us not fall into the trap of putting people on pedestals, parties and organizations have risen and fallen on that rock.

We are all Sovereign, so let us all take our equal place in the rebuilding of our Nation.

We have thrown the first Salvo, let it land where it will and move on from there.

This will be the last blog I write for a while as I wind down before my surgery next week.…a lot can happen, especially when your surgeon spends about 30 secs on the positives, then 5mins about what can go wrong like ‘you could die, have a heart attack or a stroke during the operation🤔😂….then you very nervously sign on the dotted line!!

This blog may challenge some people’s thinking of events, so beware!!

For all the doubters of ‘who said what’ and where the original policies came from, I have decided its time for truth, because I am sick and tired of hearing Politicians and Leaders talk about ‘honesty’ and then in the next breath lie….or is it ‘misspeaking’ these days?

Either way, light needs to be shed on this myth of ‘we are the only…or we are the first…..!

The easiest way to do that is to show quotes from a couple of emails that were exchanged only days prior to the 2021 Scottish Election being announced, between two prominent people, I will leave you to guess who!!!

1st quote;

Reply:

Two days later a new Party appeared and low and behold about a week later a few Policies appeared word for word to the ones found to be ‘attractive’!! [Pleblicite election being one of them!]

That was not a coincidence it was strategy!….so a bit of honesty would be appreciated…..and acknowledgement…..or is that a bridge too far?!

What these emails showed was that one person was on a fishing exercise, knowing full well a new Party was about to be born!

If people are going to shout about ‘honesty’ then it should start with them or they are a busted flush before they even start!

Truth is sometimes difficult to deal with but deal with it we must.

We have had centuries of deception in Scotland and we are quite right to shine a light on it……but please do not replace it with another kind of deception. We can be better than this!

Every day Westminster shows how deceitful it is as now even GB Energy fades before our eyes.

Scotland must aim high in its standards for governance or we just get more of the same. Integrity matters and we should demand it from those who seek to lead us.

Time now for me to do this….

To date 15 or is it 16 now, SNP MSPs have declared they are not standing for re-election next year and there is little doubt that more will follow. Add to that ‘the great unwanted’!….[those who won’t get through selection again because they opposed something or someone!] The number will be higher.

How can the FM stop this domino effect? Is it an SNP problem or just a coincidence? Whatever the answer to that question is we are going to see some big changes in Holyrood next year.

This offers up a chance, at least on the List of not just new faces but also new Parties, remembering also that Ash Regan is not an ‘elected’ Alba MSP! I state that as a fact and not a criticism!

Will Holyrood revert to what it was intended to be, a Rainbow Parliament? Where smaller parties were given a voice!

I have always believed that a country is best served by a coalition Parliament. Scotland certainly was. History shows that too much power in the hands of one Party can lead to totalitarianism with mini Dictators at the helm.

Don’t you just hate it when Leaders use the ‘royal WE’ all the time……especially when thousands upon thousands are taking to the streets to oppose them?

This is how it should be in Scotland and this is what Liberation.scot is all about….Direct Democracy!

Now, let me clear something up regarding Pleblicite elections. Dave was quite right to correct Ash Regan in her assertion that it was she who first brought up the idea, but what was missing from that conversation was, that the 1st Party ever to include it in its Manifesto and officially recorded Policies was the ISP! in 2000……

Don’t airbrush out the truth because if we do, we cannot in the next breath talk about Direct Democracy!

..…..and next year’s election must be about Direct Democracy if we want real change to happen.

The world is changing now almost daily, therefore we the people of Scotland have to make some big decisions next year…..who do we trust to take Scotland forward into the next decade and beyond?

At a time when everything is becoming very secret down south, we in Scotland need to be more open…

https://www.thenational.scot/news/24983650.house-lords-given-new-secrecy-right-rules-shake/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR10c0_-2mqvy3rrA9CGj4qNOXyk109Af3EANHplF4XbsssPZaw3B18CnUo_aem__SFH8-q64jQrHCP0jo80Lw#Echobox=1741180715

So, is it to be more of the same and let continuity kick in or do we have the courage to say…

At least by next year, we will know whether or not the Liberation submission has been accepted for further consideration by the c-24 committee. That alone will be a huge move forward. So please don’t underestimate its importance, because when it does we will be holding a whole new deck of cards in a whole new game!

…..and we need to start gearing up for that now by emphasizing the need for Unity. If Parties won’t do it because of egos, then we the people must do it. Our vote is an individual one and the only person who can decide where you put your X is you!

Our first aim though is to get people to vote in the first place. Politics is a big turn-off these days, so we must give people a reason to vote.

I hope and pray that the UN give us that reason, something that will energise the country once again.

….. and the more people who climb aboard the Liberation train the more likely it is to happen.

The bigger we become the more sway we have.

This train is the only one moving, everyone else is still just talking…..lets make this happen!

Join today!
