There appears to be a disconnect in the brains of many between the words ‘wanting and doing’!

It’s almost as if we believe that by just wanting Independence to happen it will magically appear.

Well it won’t!

Its going to take every member of every Indy Party and organization to make it happen and I don’t mean just sitting back until the voting day to vote. That is the end of the journey, not the beginning!

There is a process to go through, a plan to be made then followed and without your input in that process, Independence will not happen.

Winter can no longer be offered up as an excuse not to get involved, with the invention of Zoom etc we can sit in our living rooms and be a vital cog in the wheel….and I mean a ‘vital cog’! Never underestimate your importance to this process and never underestimate how your absence could affect the outcome.

By joining a Party or organization one presumes that you agree with its aims and principles, is it a step too far then to ask for your help when it comes to an important event or campaign?

The 2026 election here in Scotland will not be your usual event because serious changes are happening in Scotland right now that need to be addressed. Unless we start changing the Democratic System within Scotland.……Scotland as we know it will be no more!

Privatisation will make sure of that!

Do we need Private investment, sadly we do need some but it must be on our terms not the terms of the shareholders!

The ScotGov are not in the business of business….they are Politicians. Sadly those who advise them bring politics into their business advice but do it so subtly that our MSPs don’t see the hidden agendas.

These people do……

Find the facts and stop the sale of Scotland!

Eventually, if you push people too far they will revolt. Are we seeing the beginnings of such a revolt in England?

It happened with the Poll Tax in Scotland, is the cancellation of Elections in England triggering the same kind of revolt?……it would appear so!

When you put Democracy on hold there are always consequences.

The obvious question that arises is, were the voters in these counties aware of Labour plans ahead of the GE?

From what I understand, postponing elections was never mentioned. Her excuse, ‘elections would be a waste of money as some councils will cease to exist’.

Had she said this prior to the GE, the result might have been very different…..but then they knew that didn’t they?

Half-truths always hide a lie!

Things must be bad to rouse the English voters to revolt….they are not the French after all😅

Could we be persuaded to follow suit, albeit for a different reason?

I mean, is that it, ‘we won’t forget or forgive’…..is this our limit…..words?

Oh, maybe not…..here comes Tommy🚶‍♀️‍➡️🚶‍♀️‍➡️🚶‍♀️‍➡️🚶‍♀️‍➡️

There is another organisation intent on changing things up here and that is Liberation, the Peoples movement.

A never-before-known route to Independence has opened up……well not new, just hidden behind another wall of lies and crouched in legal speak!!

Check this route out for yourself…..

https://liberation.scot/

Are we not obligated to all those who want Independence to try every avenue…..not just the preferred ones of the elite?

There are, of course, those who would prefer us to wait until Westminster’s scorched earth policy has succeeded. We can not afford to let them win.

The clock is ticking for Scotland let us use our time wisely….these following days and months will not return.

We must get this right, 2026 must be the year we change things.

Never presume that because a particular party has more members that they are better than the rest……many did this at the GE and look where we are!

The Holyrood system offers smaller parties a place at the top table, before you decide look at all the Parties, their Policies and who their ‘bedfellows’ are!!

When opportunity knocks, take it.

It’s that time of year when garden centres are full of packets of seeds ready to be sown.

When we sow, we are believing in a tomorrow, we believe we will reap a harvest.

Westminster is trying to bury Scotland, from its culture to its industrial heritage. But within this great country of ours there is one thing they will never bury, our belief in ourselves and our future.

Over the years seeds have been sown, a seed in the hearts of people who are now the Yes people…..the Salvo people…..the Liberation people and we will continue sowing the seeds of Liberty and Hope.

Why? Because we are family!

What we sow this year we will reap next year at the elections.….. and the seeds we sow at the Hague will also grow!

There is a process between sowing and harvesting that we must not neglect, the process of ‘germination’!

Germination is the process by which a plant grows from a seed into a seedling.

The seeds we sow in the hearts and minds of others must be watered and given oxygen to grow. In other words, we must nurture our recruits, teach them what they need to know, and equip them with the tools they need to fight a war of misinformation and lies.

My understanding is that this is the purpose of the websites and Salvo Hubs.

By building strong foundations we will build a strong resourceful Scotland.

Bonds of friendship can also be grown in these Hubs and believe me, friends matter. Friends from other Parties and non….. foster Unity … and it is only unity that will get us across the line!

Westminster forgets that the generations before us planted seeds that are now fully grown and we will carry on sowing until the day comes when the dream has been realised.

Sometimes difficult conversations are needed and with the rise of Reform both North and South of the Border maybe now is an appropriate time.

So, are we becoming a racist country and if so what has changed to make it thus?

We have always been proud of the fact that we welcome all to this land, irrespective of colour or creed and the majority of us still feel the same way, thankfully. But we cannot escape the reality that we are seeing changes, particularly with the rise of Reform.

Will these changes be permanent or are people just making a protest….they want change and see Reform as the only option on the table because the other two have morphed into one!

It is also a fact that governments and media bear much responsibility for the change of perception towards those who turn to us for help.

Wars produce refugees, and mis-information or lack of information produces fear and suspicion.

When we feel threatened by anything we turn on each other or in this case the weakest amongst us. The media feed us with lies or half-truths on a daily basis, and the government never explains the ‘whys’!

So we are left with the false perception of ‘they get everything’ when the truth is it’s only the bare minimum.

The system is choked, not by people but by bureaucracy. We, here in Scotland need workers, the vast majority of immigrants want to work, the blockage in the system is not their fault.

The Chancellor is demanding cuts in every department, these kinds of demands will simply exasperate the situation and increase the unrest.

One does have to wonder what Labour’s long-term objectives are, but we need to be careful that we don’t walk into the trap of blaming the less fortunate for the sins of the government.

Scotland needs to be free to steer her own ship and create a land where all are welcome and all are encouraged to build it.

The answer in my opinion to my question

‘Is Scotland a racist country’, …..no it is not…… but beware because soon the Scotland we know will no longer exist. Freeports etc will make sure of that and within those Freeports comes the possibility of a two-tier workforce within Scotland.

Be careful what you wish for!

Join the ones who know what they want and will fight for it.

When Politicians fail us there is only one recourse left, do it yourself…..

Now is such a time!

Our Politicians are blinkered, seeing only the Westminster route. This is no accident, the perception has always been that the answer lay south of the border and that one day our ‘benefactors’ would open the cage.

Of course, they would say they did that when we had the Referendum but we chose to stay shackled.

Did we?

Facts and figures coming to light since would suggest otherwise. We cannot change what happened but we can learn from it……if we want to!

It suits our Scottish Politicians to have single vision and play the Westminster game where the goalposts continually move and sometimes the ScotGov even helps that move!

Kier Starmer loves to make long speeches where the truth or lies get lost in the words.

My blogs are short, and this is why!!

He also hides behind all things ‘legal’, but I wonder if he has read the Claim of Rights. It would appear not, which is strange as he must know Scottish Law is still in force in Scotland. He may of course presume that all their wee Acts now supersede the Cof R but they don’t!

Action requires courage and we will see next year if we have it.

I predict a hung Parliament which is no bad thing, and I see an opportunity where most see gloom even with the rise of Reform.

The opportunity to create the beginnings of something new is within our gift.

By using the List system we can change the balance…..even be the balance. Just stop and think about that for a moment!!

What has happened at Grangemouth should be a warning to us all that Privatisation is not our friend but our enemy. They are hostile takeovers aided and abetted by Holyrood.

If rumours are correct Rachel from accounts may be going back to accounts, but another face will make no difference. They have set their course and we must set ours!

We are Sovereign!

Is there such a thing in Politics?

I suppose the obvious answer is no, but is there a system that aspires to it?

Yes, there is……and it’s called Direct Democracy.

We have a problem and it has to do with Democracy or at least the kind of Democracy we have…..and we live with its consequences every day.

During an Election, we choose someone to represent us, and there lies the problem. I need not remind you what has happened since last years GE.

How well have our representatives represented us? How well have the kept their promises?…….they haven’t have they?

So, what can we do about it?…..nothing!

We must wait for over 4 years, and the way Labour are going it could be more. In the short few months they have been in power the damage from Pensioners to Farmers has been unrelenting.

But 2026 is just around the corner and we hold all the aces!

Within Direct Democracy there is a wee thing called ‘Popular re-call.’

In practice, this means if our Representatives fail to fulfil our wishes we can recall them and sack them!……. how’s that for a dream?

We can have this, if we want it. But I would caution you, there are those who want Independence/Liberation but don’t want Direct Democracy they want what we have now, Parliamentary Democracy.

Do we want Westminster Mk11? Can we not aspire to something better?

2026 could be the springboard for that change.

Liberation is about Direct Democracy, it’s about us, the people not career Politicians.

No more, ‘not a penny more’ which suddenly changes to over-inflation council tax rises. No more, ‘we will stop the energy cap rises’ which changes to ‘oh it’s the markets’!

The only way to stop the lies is to change the system.

Are you up for it?

Why am I writing about an event in England you may ask, because it is an indication of where this Labour government is taking us and Scotland is not immune.

Make no mistake Westminster, irrespective of which Party is in charge has plans for Scotland in the long term. Thanks to Ms Forbes and their Freeports/SEZs and City Deals they already have one huge foot in the door.

The Political map may not be changing but who is in charge of our land is!

The slow creep of corporate power over local democracy exists under this web of secret deals with foreign conglomerates.

The one and only Unitary Authority in Scotland failed [Strathclyde] but that does not mean a new breed won’t spring up again.

The Devolution revolution is upon us and in one way or another we will feel its impact.

Why is it so hard to learn from our past mistakes? Why do we keep believing the lies? Is it because we believe we are stuck in a rut between a rock and a hard place? The alternatives that Westminster provide are all as bad as one another so it doesn’t really matter?

On that score, you are right but surely that means we are looking in the wrong direction for the answer.

The future lies in our hands…..we are the answer to our own problems. When we get that……when the penny drops, then and only then will we see our way out.

We are in a tunnel not a grave! There is a light at the end of it but we have to walk towards it not cower down in the middle of it!

We have been presented with an opportunity and when opportunity knocks we must grab it with two hands! An opportunity to do things differently, to seek a ruling other than that of Westminster, a higher ruling.

Why would we not try this route, it goes all the way to the Hague?

Is Scotlands objective, not Sovereignty?

Donald Trump is not in my head as he appears to be with many others but I do wish our Leader in Scotland had the same courage to make the big statements, the ones that bring people to their feet, the ones that make people feel positive.

Positive about our country and its future.

Trump knows a thing or two when it comes to publicity, he doesn’t just say ‘I will’ ….as in sometime in the future…..he signs the relevant documents in front of everyone there and then, and the press loves it.

But then I suppose that is harder to do when you are batting for both sides!

The art of illusion is well-practised within politics, take the statement by the PM on the optics surrounding the Southport tragedies. Somehow he managed to skirt around the issue by talking about the Law!

He forgot that facts about previous incidents were reported the same day, but the interesting thing was nobody picked up on it! It’s as if the press are only allowed to go so far and no further…..but then we know that don’t we?

Is it not about time ‘honest John’ handed Westminster their notice? Is it not time he gave us something to cheer about?

Yes, it is, but he won’t because he has nothing to give!…..and long-term plans to ask again are not going to cut it with the voters in 2026!

Referendums are like old clapped-out cars, they need to be ditched and replaced by a ‘smart car’! A new model, efficient and equipped with the latest gadgets.

….and one has been built and will hit the market soon!

A new model, built on Scottish Law.

The makers……Liberation!

History will not reflect well upon us should we get this wrong.

We see what we want to see, nothing more, nothing less!

Our perception of everything is biased by what we crave for and whether or not our cravings are met.

An angry person will not see as clearly as one who is cool and objective.

There are those within the Independence movement who want us to see us angry and go to great lengths to stir things up. They know that if our anger is targeted at one another our eyes will be off the real problem and thus the solution.

…..and the nearer we get to our solutions, and objectives the more egos we see.

“Bad actors” will always be amongst us, some are put there deliberately others through their egos…but they are here and they seek only to divide us.

Being the optimist that I am, I could say that this is a good sign because it means we are succeeding in our mission and have become a thorn in the flesh of others!

Good structures within any organization or Party can deal with these people. Don’t give them oxygen😅 Don’t press the ‘repost/ share’ or like button!!!, especially when these posts are directed at a person or trying to resurrect old scores!

We are better than this and we have a job that needs doing.

Salvo is bringing people together and together we can be a powerful force for good.

Don’t let others spoil the party!

Everything comes flat packed these days, even lamp shades and as we have learned Pianos!

When it comes to assembling something, instructions are important…unless they’re in Chinese!! Miss a step or end up with a few extra nuts & bolts and disaster could be imminent. So as a bare minimum a little knowledge goes a long way.

Several groups are working to build the foundations of what we hope will be a future Scotland and they know their stuff, but there are also a few who don’t!

Individuals who hash together a miss mash of ideas which when put together don’t actually fit, or as someone said ‘as clear as mud’!

This makes the situation more complicated than necessary.

So, why do it?

Is it because they genuinely think everyone else is missing a trick or are they on an ego trip……maybe a mix of both?

Either way, caution is required as not everyone who says they are your friend…..is your friend!….especially in Politics.

So, who is the ‘real deal’? I ask because there is some confusion as more and more so-called experts keep popping up.

Is it the person who uses material from other groups or the groups who dig for the truth and publish their findings in the first place?

Think I will stick with the latter!!

I prefer grafters to grifters!!

…… And this lot are the grafters! Salvo and Liberation.scot and I take my hat off to the research team!

We need more grafters if we are to save Scotland from being taken over by foreign conglomerates. People who sit in a board room in another country rubbing their hands with glee as the profits roll in.

We are past using the word caution, we are now on red alert because Freeports and SEZs are here, sucking the life out of Local Authorities and closing paths and walkways on what was once free-to-roam land which by the way will be the least of our problems.

…..and don’t think for one minute that they will give up on Loch Lomond because your government…..yes your goverment has given Flamingo Land the right to appeal for their plans, in spite of the 55000 objections.

So, we need more hands on deck, more grafters, we need you…..are you there for Scotland?

If so, this is the place you sign up…..
