A picture that paints a thousand words……

There are no words that I dare say!

They say the camera never lies and in this case it is true and it sickens my heart.

Comfy slippers doesn’t even cut it, more like bosom buddies. A bosom buddy is someone who always has your back!

It is one thing to have this kind of relationship but quite another to plaster it all over SM.

Talk about sending out the wrong message!

But this should not surprise us because when it comes to Freeports the SNP main players are up to their necks in it.

That’s an awful big Port!!

Just as this is an awfully big SEZ!

Both are huge land grabs!!

Parliament doesnt parouge until Wednesday, these final days are referred to as the ‘washing up days’….I wonder what’s left to do?….a few more signatures on a few more contracts with the colgomerates maybe!

Kate Forbes reiterates that Scotland is open for business but remains silent about what kind of business and still refuses to put her case forward for Freeports & SEZs. We are not asking for sensitive information between businesses, but we do want to know about tax relief and who will fill the gap! Also Employment Law and conditions.

Will things change with the outgoing of Micheal Gove? Will Labour change the conditions in favour of the areas earmarked for Privitisation….I doubt it very much.

Profits before People will no doubt remain the goal of this new Red/BlueParty.

There remains one hope and with it a Party who moves forward with them.

Salvo is working hard to bring a Legal case to the ICJ Reclaiming the Rights of the Sovereign, Territorial Nation of Scotland.

Liberation.scot is the other arm of Salvo, log on at

https://liberation.scot/

and become part of this huge movement taking Scotland by storm. [Sign the Edinburgh Proclamation 2022]

These movements are not Political….just People!

To date, the ISP is the only Party in alignment with the aims and views of both Salvo and Liberation. Hopefully, others will join in the future….we need all of Scotland working together for Scotland.

Under the Radar…

There are some!

Three cheers for those members from all Independence Parties who are determined to work together for Scotland under the radar!

But it’s sad it has to be this way and that’s down to the Leadership of the Parties who think they are above others and it shows the disconnect between them and their members.

People on the whole want to be more open about what they think and how they feel without fear of recriminations.

How on earth can we achieve Independence if ordinary folk feel unable to speak freely as individuals…maybe I am lucky that my Leader allows me to speak freely, [could anyone stop me!!] but that is no doubt due to the fact that we think and believe in the same things.

Maybe, there lies the answer, make sure your Party is in alignment with all of your values. Then there can be no secrets or lies.….or stress!!!

Salvo and Liberation.scot believe in a level playing field…do you..if so join now.

Help Scotland whilst we still have a Scotland to save.

Soon we will be but a name on a map. Holyrood and Local Authorities will be stripped of Power and money due to Freeports/SEZs.

Please don’t let that happen!

Where has our self-respect gone?

Shame on them and shame on us!

Once again we see and allow Westminster to disrespect us as a Nation, and once again we see our representatives humiliated…..I call it out for what it is…..Abuse!

And as long as we accept it, we deserve it!

Why?

Because we have lost our self-respect both as a people and a Nation and we have done that through our silence.

Where is our anger, where is our passion?

Attending Marches is good but on its own, it’s not good enough!

An Election has been called, it was a surprise, yes, but then the Tories are always full of surprises….and not in a good way. This was deliberate.

So let’s use it to regain our self-respect by sending them a clear unequivocal message. One that says…were done here….were out!

Its called Abstention!

Remember the game stops when we stop playing! Without Scottish MPs, Westminster falls and the Union ends….it really is that simple!

Then Holyrood really has to start working for its money and what’s more, it has to start working with the people….not the other way around.

We’ve had many Think Tanks working on plans for Independence over the years, so there must be a number of blueprints in the cupboards!!

Then there is Salvo…a work-in-progress.

https://salvo.scot/

No more idle hands in Holyrood, no more pet projects….just get on with the job your were elected to do or you will be judged in 2026!

Freeports & Partisan Politics!

And it needs you NOW!

The greatest threat to Scotland right now is the installation of Freeports & SEZs and the second greatest threat is Partisan Politics.

https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/teesside-news/transfer-council-assets-middlesbrough-development-28816244?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR0_OSapYgH91vCyuLPZSxoQG-KcfERrZwWNEQ4zEGG5v04xMd1vGOTOHFw_aem_ASEGlKdvB21gcI0gd6kqrtPhWXIlvCfrnu_2xpklgeyu_sdbigcTQ8nL_O8bklu1YfuBQER3VdHqLv6RDqWZW4Oj

The sirens are wailing but no one is heeding.

The above article is really about the end of the process, the goal which always was about the privitisation of Local Authorities and the end of Local Democracy.

Towns, cities and huge acres of land owned and run by foreign private consortiums.

In Scotland we are at the beginning of the process thanks to Kate Forbes who just doesn’t seem to get it!….or does she?

There have been no open discussions in Holyrood about these Freeports etc so we have to assume all the Parties are in favour, so that leaves the new Parties and the people to take the high ground.

There can or shouldn’t be any partisan politics on this issue especially when Parties have policies in place against Freeports.

So my question is, why are some deliberately refusing to join and openly support the SalvoFreeport campaign? Which is by the way non-partisan.

It is hypocritical to lead ones members into thinking you’re against something when in reality you are not.

This matter is too important to Scotland to be playing games.

Do not dishonour Scotland, leave that to others.

Insecurity….

Social media police…😅😅

It never occurred to me that there are those out there who have nothing better to do than hover over their member’s accounts to make sure they don’t tick the wrong box!

If they dare to agree with anything anyone says outwith their own Party….out comes the big black marker. Regardless of how sensible the comment may have been.

Such is the insecurity of some Political leaders these days, and these are the very same leaders who have wanted cross-party cooperation in the past.

To have to live with that kind of insecurity must cause immense strain and shattered nerves. I personally can’t think of any job on earth that would be worth that kind of hell.but then I have never sought power for power’s sake.

There is a huge difference between seeking Leadership and seeking Power, sadly our Political leaders of today think they are one and the same.

Leadership is about bringing your people with you, Power is about control and when you need to spy on your own members to retain that kind of Power you show your weakness.

Scotland needs a restart, one with a level playing field.

The Union!

A place where everyone counts and has an equal chance of succeeding in life.

I for one am grateful that Salvo and Liberation have the same vision. Time is not on my side but for our future generations, there’s everything to fight for and fight we must through every Court available.

Treaties once signed and still Legal must be honoured. No ifs no buts….

Hidden within plain sight…!!

Now you see it….now you don’t!

Leaflets are dropping through our letter boxes like snow off a dyke and an Election hasn’t even been called yet.

If the purpose is to bore us to death, then it’s probably working!!

The interesting news or policies have been coming from elsewhere, like Alistair Jacks’s little bombshell yesterday. So confident is he of a Unionist Party taking over Holyrood in 2026 [ I noticed he said Unionist and not Tory!!] that he has asked the Energy Secretary to advance plans for a Nuclear Plant to be built in Scotland. No mention of where though. Well I suppose if you’re going to lose your seat you may as well go out in style with a bold statement.

Then there are those who are more ‘sleekit’ trying to introduce Policies to their Party that appear interesting but may contain a hidden agenda.[Hidden within plain sight means something so obvious that it might be missed at first.]

How about Home Rule for H&I [or parts of] within an Independent Scotland? That would be a novel idea would it not, especially if that part covered the Cromarty Firth!!

Some may call it ingenuity, I call it covering your ass and your assets!

But hey, it’s all just Politics and it’s up to us all to try and wade through the mud and find some clarity.

Thank God for Salvo and Liberation, clear vision and clear plans for moving forward.

At my age I really do need life to be more simple😂

Who else gets confused…….?

What was that?….

I know that confusion becomes part of life as one gets older and I know there are exercises you can do to help.

So here’s a new one….dont listen to Politicians of any colour, be it Red, Red-tory or Blue and definitely none in Scotland.

Not only will they test your patience, but they will also test your sanity!!

Today’s promises are tomorrow’s broken ones!

The mantra in Scotland used to be, ‘we will seek a S30’….now it’s ‘if there’s a majority vote for Independence we will start negotiations’!

I presume that means, negotiations to ask for an S30 as that seems to be the only bullet in their arsenal. But even by some leap of the imagination they actually meant talks leading to Independence….they forget one thing…..it takes at least two to tango!

I think they will end up talking to themselves…nothing new there then😂

Then there are those who are masters at Double Speak! Weasel words, deliberately designed to confuse us.

Freeports is a perfect example.

There hasn’t been one Freeport yet that has delivered on promises. Most jobs will be temporary because of the nature of the free tenure of the land. [No jobs for life!!]….also low paid…so don’t expect pay rises either, not even up to Scottish Living Wage.

The Scottish Government are only now learning what it’s like trying to negotiate conditions with these big companies….and it’s not going well.

Councils are also waiting for answers from Holyrood, that’s not going well either!

So, don’t worry if you feel, confused…..we all do!

The only organizations who speak with clarity and truth are…

https://salvo.scot/

https://liberation.scot/

No ‘forked tongues’ there! Just good old honest facts.

Be part of the truth, be part of a future Scotland.

Going nowhere….

No engine…..no go!!

Every person and every country needs an engine to keep it running.

My engine is my heart, and that heart beats for Scotland, I’m sure yours does too.

The heartbeat of every country is its people, its industries and it’s assets….how unfortunate for Westminster that nearly all of its assets are in Scotland and it’s industries are in decline!

Scotland is the heartbeat of this so-called UK. Without us, the engine stops!

And it’s time we recognised that fact.

When they quote GERS figures they are using the wrong calculator….. it’s flawed and it’s flawed on purpose, to show we are too small, too poor, then they add on the stupid part for good measure.

Well, the only way to prove them wrong on all fronts is to stop this sham once and for all.

After another insult from Sunak our MPS should be walking out of Parliament and staying out.

The new game in town should be ABSTENTION!

Sunak says we are ‘extremists’ so let’s be extreme!

Let’s see how far Westminster gets with no engine! With no engine he won’t need the engine oil😂…..or water!

It really is time to believe in ourselves and the Power we have in our hands.

Sunak has gone on the attack because he knows the truth and fears the results.

Remind our MPs and MSPs who gave them their jobs and who can remove them.

When they knock on your door asking for your vote, don’t wait to hear their promises, make your demands first! Believe me, they fear you more than you fear them!

#Salvo.Scot

We’re on the list….

We’ve made it folks, were on the list of undesirables!!

So before he tries to silence us for good, let’s look at the word ‘extreme’ to see if we really fit the profile…..or his profile!

The word ‘extremism’ is usually used when talking about an ideology!

Somehow I don’t think Sovereignty is an ideology!!! …although maybe the English version is when it comes to Scotland…more like a fairy tale!

Independence is normal it is not extreme!

Also if you read up about extremism you will see it means people who don’t believe in Democracy!!!

….. he must be referring to Tory democracy!

Because Scotland is waking up to the idea of Direct Democracy…..maybe that’s what mortifies him. So to silence us he puts us on a list, the same list by the way that terrorists are on….and it won’t take him long to make that leap!

Now is the time to be joining Liberation .Scot because very soon the AUOB marches will be deemed illegal and our voice silenced for good.

Step by step we are losing our land, our resources, our democracy and now our voices.

We are becoming illegal in our own land.

Wake up and find your voices!

Join this peaceful army like thousands of others are doing and restore Scotland’s Constitution.

No talent…no problem….

Well it’s certainly time for the Scottish branch of Labour to pack up and go back to England.

When they have to parachute a Candidate in from Lewisham to stand in Caithness and Sutherland, they are in trouble!!

Now this has been done before in 2014 by the Tories in the Ochills…and they won..let that be a lesson to all who laugh.

But it does show one thing, Labour couldn’t find anyone in Scotland with talent…wow!

That should not surprise us, we only have to think back a few years to remember what Labour really thought about the Scottish people….

According to this, we are not just too wee, too poor but also too stupid! …..yes, this really is what Scottish Unionists think of their own people! Such has been the brainwashing.

And the brainwashing continues because Starmer has Sawar on a lead [ I was tempted to use more figurative language!!] and Starmer is a Freeports man!

If Scots go down the Labour road it will be a double whammy!

So-called Levelling up with Freeports etc and levelling down by removing the things we get that England doesn’t. { Free tuition, free prescriptions, free care, no bedroom tax, under 21 bus pass etc}

For Scotland to continue with its progressive policies, new Parties will have to enter Holyrood and the kind of governance we have now to change.

Politicians will have to realise they serve the people and must be answerable to the people.

People before Parliamentarians!

It’s called Direct Democracy, without this…. nothing changes!

But I end with good news, through Salvo and Liberation things are moving forward. Ordinary people taking Scotland forward….join them.

The people in these organizations believe in Scotland and all who live in it.
