Raise your hands if you belong to the Apathy Party, [as Allan Petrie from I4I calls it.]

Looking at present-day voting habits, I guess quite a few have done so!

I don’t think I am quite off the mark when I say that low voting numbers suit the goverment quite well, given the barriers they have put in place.

We know that in a GE it doesn’t matter how we vote in Scotland, the results are determined by the English vote. But it says something about our kind of Democracy when even they can’t be bothered to vote.

What is the price of Apathy and how does that cost trickle down to our pockets?

Profits to the rich equate to pennies for us.

Apathy suggests indifference, and indifference opens the door to corruption.

And what better way to open the doors to corruption than by introducing unregulated Freeports?

……. MOUs just don’t cut it!

Every one of these is going to hit you in your pocket as Local Authorities struggle to meet local demands. Council Tax rises way above inflation… You are being gubbed!

Follow the money at all levels and then understand how important your vote is.

The words often spoken are, ‘but what can I do about it’?

This shows one thing, people do not believe their voice is heard let alone taken notice of. To change that perception we have to change the system. Unfortunately that means you have to vote! ….. but vote for the right change and the people willing to make that change.

LS is deeply focused on change, that is their sole purpose for existing.

But one thing they won’t do is jump on bandwagons and we have seen a few lately. They don’t re-act, they respond where and when necessary.

We have seen lately what happens when politicians are bumped into reacting…No10 being the prime example.

What doesn’t help however here in Scotland, or anywhere for that matter, is when a group you would expect support from tries to put a spoke in your wheels. How one responds to that shows effective leadership.

Liberate Scotland does all three.

In times of turbulence we need a calm hand on the wheel.

Have we got it?

If not, only your Vote can change that.

These days, when something goes wrong, leaders, be they political or otherwise have a habit of running off into the hills.

Someone else is always to blame. The ‘buck’ rarely stops at the top!

Leadership is about taking responsibility; that does not necessarily mean stepping down. We are all human and we all make mistakes. A true leader is someone who can own up to a mistake and fix it.

When it comes to Scotland, the task of fixing past errors is huge and I don’t just mean the ones in the 1700s! I mean the repeated ones made by the Scottish Government in not acting on the mandate given by us the People.

Independence is the hope that lies within the Holy Grail. The Holy Grail itself is the cup, but it is who is now carrying that cup that is important.

Whoever it is, the one thing they cannot do is think of themselves as being above reproach. Be it a political party or otherwise.

It is the duty of all who seek Independence to seek clarity when questions arise. We cannot have people afraid to ask questions.

Our FM went to his conference, more or less asking for a blank cheque, and he got it! A few hints regarding his plans have since emerged…..like a row of carrots. Why wait until 2029 when they could act now? I guess the original plans must be lying on a shelf somewhere, covered in dust! The SNP have lost so much credibility it must be asked….is it too late for them?

What we need now is a Political party [group] to stand in the breach. People who will take responsibility for their actions.

The blueprint for Independence is out there, and Liberate Scotland is prepared to run with it. It is not a sprint it is a marathon…..are you a marathon runner?

If we invest our time now wisely, we will reap the rewards.

This particular Holy Grail must be carried by all.

If there is one thing people hate, it is being ignored. Egos need an audience.

People with big egos usually have a lot to say, they like the sound of their own voice.

…..but their words usually lack substance.

If you have ever sat on a committee you will know what I mean. So beware of committees full of egos, they will bore you to death😂

…….and I may add, have the ability to knock the train off its tracks. In the Commons it’s called filibustering!

For Scotland to come together we need groups and committees to come together to be determined to act, not just talk.

It is a fact that if the SNP were serious about Independence they could act tomorrow! They have the power to dissolve Parliament and call an Election at any time….even a plebiscite one, so why wait until 2029? Westminster would probably not recognise it, but it would be noted elsewhere…….but it won’t happen because they are not serious about Independence. Devolution is the name of their game!

Devolution allows the SNP to make noises, empty threats, but that’s all.

Liberate Scotland is onto a good thing and the people are catching on….when the old stops working, it’s time to try something new.

When things go wrong politicians blame others, we need people in power, who when things go wrong will :

Re-set

Re-adjust

Re-start and Re-focus.

A new kind of politician

I guess what this veteran is saying is, ‘everything we fought for has gone’, and he is right.

The country I have grown up in, is no more. Every country evolves but most into something new and vibrant….not ours. We are teetering on the edge of anarchy with a government too scared to take action.

Devolution is the chain around our necks that binds us to a government south of the border that rules by force and is at war with itself.

Good governance ‘acts’ they do not ‘react’. When you ‘react’ you are not in control…..you allow the situation to control you! In other words.…..you panic and make bad decisions.

Scotland could do so much better…..if only!

If only we had the self belief.

If only we had the courage.

If only we would work together.

Liberate Scotland has all three and much more!

Nothing focuses your mind more than being angry, and they are angry!!

Angry because we have been lied to for hundreds of years.

Angry because our wealth is being stolen from us.

Angry because we have so much poverty in a country of plenty.

Angry because we have been made complicit in genocide.

Angry because we are denied a say in our own future.

But Liberate Scotland uses this anger wisely……it is what makes them stand up and say NO MORE!

It focuses them on the task ahead.

And that task is to make sure that the right people are seated in Holyrood ready to further the purposes of Salvo/Liberation, which leads to Independence.

It also focuses them on the truth, it comes to something when AI can tell the truth where our present politicians can’t!!

I think AI will become the new enemy of politicians.😂😂

It is time to step up, it is time to remember that Independence will never be given, therefore it must be taken!

It is a fact, that the Truth often takes us out of our comfort zones.

It is also a fact that Liberate Scotland will never shirk from telling it.

Truth tells us what the problem is and we can fix that. Lies on the other hand can never be fixed and the problems just grow.

The broad church of people within Liberate Scotland offers a new kind of politics built on Unity and truth.

We now see, almost on a daily basis how low Labour MPs are prepared to go. At least Reform are honest about how low they are going to take us! Lower Pensions, lower benefits, lower minimum wage and NO NHS! …… think on that for a while.

I’ve said this before and I will repeat it, the problem is not that there isn’t enough money, the problem is where it is spent. Westminster priorites are not the People…..we come at the bottom of the pile.

It is no different in Scotland.

When you know your MSPs belong to BAP, you know we have a problem. I am always suspicious of ‘special relationships’….. especially this one.

Freeports are anything but Free! One of the biggest costs is that of not being able to rejoin the EU even if we wanted to…..but do we? Many argue for EFTA.

As I scroll through SM these days, the thing that strikes me is the amount of infighting within parties.

This is not a good look to those who already see ‘politics’ as a joke. Perhaps part of the problem is that there is a blurring of lines between ‘partnerships’ [people working together] and friendships. They are two entirely different ships! But by blurring the lines, people feel hurt when disagreements arise, and being human, they seek revenge! The problem is they do it for all to see!!

Perhaps that is why people are being drawn to Liberate Scotland, the place where relationships are kept on a professional footing. They know Unity can only work like this.

Friday night was Halloween, the night people dress up pretending to be someone else.

It’s amazing how many do this all the time….without the dressing up bit!

…..and it is on the political stage where all things are played out. They learn their lines quickly…..or is it lies? The first lesson being, how to handle the media and questions….in particular, how not to answer them!

But the one thing they forget is, the media never forgets. Anything, and I mean anything said, including promises is recorded forever.

The candidates that will stand for the ISP will not come armed with tricks, they will come as themselves and they will make waves!

And that is the greatest gift [treat] any person can give to another…..to be themselves!

They say that when you stand at the bottom of the ladder, the only way us up.

The same applies to smaller political parties, they can only grow as others may fall. Many Independence activists are seeking a new home; the ISP are but one, one that believes in unity, and they have strived endlessly to make that happen.

Unionists hate the idea of Unity, their mantra is ‘divide and conquer’. Wełl, no thank you, not any more, we know who our friends are and we will work with them.

This is the winning hand, and we will play it…

Here in Glasgow we keep hearing the words, ‘Let Glasgow flourish’ well I say ‘Let Scotland flourish’, let us together bring Scotland to its full potential. Then and only then will the People flourish.

We don’t need a Bill to help us die, we need policies to help us live, and to live with dignity. We need a Scotland working for Scotland, not foreign conglomerates.

Next May let’s put our money on Scotland, not Westminster.

Taking a wee break now…..see you soon!

Realism is in the eyes of the beholder. We each have different realities depending on what we see and experience.

But what is Scotlands reality?

We are discovering that it is not what has been written in the history books. A light has been shed on our true history…..but does that change anything in the psyche of the ordinary Scot?

I don’t know about you, but I get furious knowing that I have been lied to my entire life. Even my education was a lie.

There is no doubt that through the work of Salvo, a fire has been ignited in the hearts and minds of the Yes movement. It is now time to fan those flames.

The idea behind Liberate Scotland is to do just that.

LS is made up of people who will not give in when the going gets tough. They will fight tooth and nail for what is right for Scotland.

Their reality and focus are razor sharp….Independence first and last.

When people unite, governments start to fear and out pops the ‘dirty tricks box’. But fear produces panic and panic produces mistakes.

Our job now is to watch out for those mistakes and challenge them. Has Kate Forbes just made one in asking the members not to discuss currency? When you start telling people what they can and cannot talk about, people start asking a bigger question.

Campaigns should have the word ‘flexibility’ written into them.

…… because in politics, not everything goes to plan.

We in Scotland must be flexible not only to worldwide changes but also to domestic ones.

So, ‘Stay Cool’ who knows where this journey is going to take us.

Life for many appears pretty chaotic just now. From chaos on the streets to financial chaos, as the Chancellor seeks to see how much more she can squeeze out of us, to fill her black hole.

Nothing feels normal anymore, but all this didn’t just happen by accident. Chaos happens when people change their behaviour and politicians renege on their promises. Chaos is a choice.

But chaos offers up many possibilities, not just negative ones.

We in Scotland have a great opportunity to change things for the good of all. If we get the basics right the rest will follow.

Kate Forbes is telling SNP members not to discuss currency policy….why?

I suspect they haven’t got one yet!

Just as well this group are on the ball then..

https://scg.scot/?fbclid=IwdGRjcANm701leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHvKMoaINyLq937yJ-sHtUVxgYm33v1NnMpFq9WkTsdjHjiD8enU0etRsdcyr_aem_IQA2desjgEcYjc3NChQmEw

And the SSRG!

All these people are working behind the scenes building the foundations. And there will come a day soon when everything comes together ready for the politicians to take action.

Yes, we need politicians, but we need ones who support all the groups, and Liberate Scotland does just that.

With LS candidates, there will be no, ‘no-go’ areas!

In a country whose system is Direct Democracy, you could take part in making those policies.

We do not have to live in chaos. There is a Latin phrase that goes like this….

“Ordo ab Chao’ it means ‘Out of Chaos, Order’…..by mastering the chaos we can bring order.

Westminster chaos, is our opportunity to show what we can do. All we have to do is have a mind change. Let’s remember just how big Scotland is…..

Remember what they said about Malta…

They repeat this mantra every time a country wants to break free and every time it’s been a lie.

We are not too small, or too poor, but we will be ‘stupid’ if we don’t grab the thistle this time.

Privatisation is not creeping over Scotland it is barrelling in at breakneck speed. Time is not on our side, that is why 2026 is so pivotal to Scotland.

But here is an interesting bit of news about next years election…..

https://x.com/conor_matchett/status/1983479052498563085?s=61

After the interference in the Referendum we need to be asking who and why this decision was made. Why the sudden change in protocol?

Something is not right about this. Has the pendulum swung from Reform to Independence and panic has once again set in?

Matchett says it will make no difference to the outcome…..do you want to bet on that?

Time to demand answers.

We must change Scotlands story now!

Our decisions are our own, but I bet this one set a few nerves on edge on Monday night. Now Craig is a very intelligent man and his commitment to Liberation is exemplary. So we can only assume he has a plan! My concern is not about his decision but rather the message it may send out, that it is okay to join a Unionist Party…….there are a lot of sheep in Scotland!!

Like many, I admire Jeremy Corbyn and his left wing politics, I am a lefty myself!

Yes, he has spoken positively about Scotland’s future, but so far they have just been ‘smoke signals’, I haven’t seen the fire yet!!! We have been here before, it is one thing to say something when seeking power but quite another thing to deliver.

All will come out in the wash, as they say!!…..but it’s risky.

In the meantime, this is what LS will be doing.

Investing all of their time working for the people of Scotland.

For them, the fight is in Scotland, other things are but a distraction. They fight for Unity amongst the Yes movement, because without it we fail…..it is that simple.

We must not let the media set the agenda, it’s time to think for ourselves. Over the next few months political parties will woo voters with their promises for a better future. Well, my question is…..why wait? Improve things now and I might believe you!

Let’s go with proven records not woolly promises.

Life is about life experiences and if your life experience doesn’t relate to what was promised, then you have the right to know why.

If you can’t get a hospital or dental appointment…..you need to ask why.

If you can’t afford to put your heating on, in an energy-rich country…..you need to ask why.

If you are seeing your local services diminish, whilst your Council Tax rises…..you need to ask why.

Someone has the answers to these questions, and if our present MSPs won’t answer, the prospective Liberate Scotland candidates will!

It’s time to hear the truth.

Every decision a government makes is a choice and the first thing you have to learn is, when they say there is no money…….it is a lie!

There is plenty of money, it’s the choices they make when spending it that rob Peter to pay Paul.

When priorities favour foreign war, foreign countries and foreign investment before our own people you know we have a problem……and we know who will pay for it.

Apparently, we can no longer afford the ‘Triple lock’ but we can afford to send millions to Pakistan for ‘condoms’! That may be a simple example but it amplifies the problem.

Also-Just remember – Keir Starmer gave away the Chagos Islands for free – and then agreed to pay £34 billion to lease them back.

These are all choices….

And the Scottish government is no better. Nearly £1/2B has been given out between H&I Enterprise and Scottish Enterprise for what? Well, not for local enterprise but to entice foreign companies to invest…..more unregulated SEZs…..more profits flowing out of the country.

They can’t even pay their legal bills but can splash the cash with LGBT+.

We are constantly bombarded with what appears to be positive headlines, but look behind the headline and you see a different picture.

Most of the time we only see what we want to see, or what we are told to see and the illusion works well. Because the governments bank on us not bothering to investigate.

The media bombardment is relentless, like a kind of brainwashing.

The people in Liberate Scotland dare to look behind the headlines and dare to speak up.

To speak up and challenge the lies.

To speak up and challenge the policies that are destroying the fabric of Scotland.

To speak up for the thousands of lost voices in Scotland.

They promise to be your voice!

This promise has already been kept…..

We are living in an era where trust in Politicians has evaporated, we must reverse that trend, otherwise, no government can function properly.

Next May, you will be given a genuine choice, a choice for real change, a choice for the genuine!

Change in your hands!
