I love this quote. It highlights the absurdity at the heart of our society. Under capitalism, it's very normal to let children go hungry, let banks force people out of their homes, let sick people die for lack of access to healthcare. But the idea that billionaires could just be less rich, not poor, not struggling, just less rich, is considered insane. #Socialism#Capitalism#WealthInequality

Scotland's First Minister, John Swinney, says Scotland needs independence before Nigel Farage becomes Prime Minister.
Absolutely.

In Wes Streeting's resignation letter, he says, "For the first time in our country's history, nationalists are in power in every corner of the United Kingdom - including a dangerous English nationalism represented by Nigel Farage and Reform UK."
To equate Plaid Cymru, Sinn Féin, and the SNP with Reform shows how little the Labour Government understands the public mood.

The people of Scotland have elected a huge majority in favour of Scottish independence. There is a growing movement across these islands that what we have isn't good enough. In Wales, Plaid Cymru is the biggest party, and in Northern Ireland, Sinn Féin is the largest Irish nationalist party.
Change is coming to these islands, even if the richest and most powerful don't like it.

Now is the time to join us.

I post this so that people who don't live in Scotland see what are everyday things for us. Filth, Jocks, mocking our culture, an openly hostile BBC and press, London-led political parties who tell us the union is a partnership of equals and a voluntary one, but, at the same time, there is no exit door. This and more is what it means to live in Scotland under never ending London rule

@TCMuffin@toot.wales I used to travel to West Yorkshire on business. A place I always thought was like it was stuck in the 50s. One of guys there got all angry with me and ranted that he couldn't understand why we hated Thatcher. When I told him my parents strapped a speaker to roofrack and drove around neighbourhood playing Ding Dong the Witch is Dead when she passed, he flipped and ranted at me even more. Probably didn't help that I just laughed.

There are moves put forward in the UK to ban social media for the under-16s. This is to protect their mental health. Yet strangely, I see no similar proposals to ban far-right 'news' providers. Seems to me that such a ban would protect the mental health of a much wider demographic.

A post which perfectly sums up the absurdity surrounding the future of the union. Heads in the sand?

"Just listening to the BBC explaining that Scotland couldn't have
independence because Westminster wouldn't allow it - as if that was a
perfectly acceptable democratic system. They say it is a voluntary union
but the refusal to discuss the future of the UK seems remarkable."

Why do we allow bribes for politicians? Whether from foreign governments, big business, or oligarchs, they are all splashing the cash through direct donations, funding for trips and other perks and lucrative, non-parliamentary roles.
I just cannot see why this in any way benefits our democracy. Maybe I am naive.

@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca There are moves to take a legal stance and say that England is denying the people of Scotland democratic choice as if we are little more than a colony. I don't know what the future holds. I hoped to see Scottish independence in my lifetime. It seems fairly obvious that the status quo is failing us. 2/2

I think it is interesting that, ultimately, do the Israelis, by their words and actions, make a case against themselves? Here in Scotland now, how many will question social media posts attacking Scottish independence as those of Israeli bots? We have all seen the murder and mayhem the Israelis are causing. Who'd want to have the Israelis in their corner?

Yet another example of massive bias against Scotland and our governing party, this from the Murdoch-owned Times. An outrageous headline. Are hospitals in England called Labour or Tory hospitals? Sorry to harp on about this, and I suspect many who don't live in Scotland might have little interest, but I feel it is necessary to highlight the bias which often borders on hatred for everything that goes on in my country, and which we see each and every day. #pressbias#Scotland

@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca Hang on and I will consult my crystal ball...😀 The UK has been failing for many years. This was brought to a head by Brexit and turning our backs on the biggest markets of our neighbours. The hope was the US would save the UK. Trump has little interest in that. So with every election things keep getting worse. Reform is a huge worry with their xenophobia and blatant racism. With Labour and the Tories in decline, more people are questioning the future of the UK. 1/2

BBC Scotland doesn't hide its contempt for their charter, which defines the legal basis and guidelines under which the BBC should operate. They seem to find it very hard to hide their hatred for all of us who think London rule is not the be-all and end-all.

We must never kid ourselves that our desire to choose our own path in Scotland, one in which looking after those in society most in need of assistance features highly, and that is distinct from that set by powerful people in London, will ever get fair coverage in the billionaire-owned press. #Scotland#Socialism

I didn't watch the Argentina-England game. In fact, I forgot it was on. I was driving home from the wildfire in Glenmore. It was very pleasant to hear the result. Away from football, such a shame for all the wildlife destroyed in the fire. I was up a nearby hill and watched as the fire started and headed for home. Had to run past the fire where it was nearest the path. The heat was intense. Later, we were evacuated from the campsite. #wildfires#Scotland

@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca I believe we should become a Scottish Republic yes but many don't want to complicate the indepedence question by linking it with getting rid of the royals. For me it links in with land reform, and the people owning much of the land, palaces and castles currently owned by the nobility.

@leonteev@mastodon.scot I've always thought that the desire for self-determination is a million miles away from the Nazis marching into Poland. Yet many are happy to use a very narrow definition of Nationalism as a term of abuse, at the same time wrapping themselves in the Union Jack.

@davidf@mastodon.org.uk I don't consider myself British. I'm not sure if you're just trying to wind me up with a comment that you're part of my country. In fact, if anyone said that I was British, I would be insulted. I have voted before to give up my UK passport. The English should stand alone; I honestly believe it would do you good. Allow the people of the countries of Wales and Scotland to make their own choices, and the people of Ireland to reunify if that is their choice.

@xinit@mastodon.coffee I think that the idea that their definition of filth stands for something other than labelling people as filth lets these horrible folk off the hook. Imagine if this word was applied to the LGBTQIA+ community, to people of different races, people with different skin colours or who followed different religions. Then they tried to justify it by saying, actually, it stands for something. Imagine the outcry. But for some reason, Scottish people don't seem to matter.

@humanhorseshoes@mastodon.world That is very true and a bit sad. Even though I can point to some research from Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Essex Universities which, confirmed that a majority of Scots born in people voted for independence, while voters born elsewhere in the UK who voted in our referendum were key to the victory of the "No" side. This doesn't take away my sadness.

@junesim63@mstdn.social They are using the exact same playbook used against Jeremy Corbyn to attack Zack Polanski and the Greens. It is so obviously a nonsense argument being made. It is always made against left-leaning politicians and never people from the far right, such as Farage, who, at school, made hissing gas sounds and told people the Nazis were right. I wonder why the left is considered a greater threat than the right?

People imagine that the worst things will never happen to them. In this, I believe it is like childhood cancer. I have lots of difficulty getting people to show an interest for the simple reason that unless it happens, they don't want to think about it.
