This must be repeated - 520 jobs are tied to nukes at Faslane () Whereas, 420,348 jobs lost, as per the "Brexit Job Loss Index" () 29,836 in Scotland...
Sturgeonโs โhard bargainโ with Corbyn would mean indyref2 and the loss of thousands of jobs at Faslane.
A Marxist-Nationalist alliance puts at risk Scotland and the UKโs security in a changing and dangerous world.
I got the job! It's been a wee bit of a wait, along with many, many, checks, but I'm so happy to have it confirmed โบ๏ธ Just been given my start date in December & looking forward to getting out from where I've been stuck for the last 18yrs+ ๐ Can't wait to get stuck in ๐
Mind Thatcher said it herself, "If [the Tory Party] sometimes seems English to some Scots that is because the Union is inevitably dominated by England by reason of its greater population. The Scots, being an historic nation with a proud past, will inevitably resent some... 1/3
"Scotland retained her legal system, education system and state religion, proof positive Scotland was intended to be a partner in the Union, not a colony or a satellite, certainly never North England."

We've to play it out as she says in order for everyone to see our hands are above the table, regardless of likely reporting to the contrary from the establishment media. Remember the world's watching. We always knew it would take a minute to untangle the strangling union threads.
First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, sets out the path to independence. She still wants to have it this year but does not rule out legal action to achieve that or delays to a referendum to ensure the vote is legitimate and internationally-recognised
OK... So I've done a reading of the Treaty of Union Articles, the articles themselves to start, which I'll upload to YouTube. I'm not a video editor and no sure what I'm doing but it seems fine. Ye can tell me what ye think. I figure folk'll use it tae pass out tae ๐

Folk may remember my desire to track down a book by my favourite writer to the Edinburgh papers at the end of the 19thC, Charles Waddie, AKA Thistledown. Well, I have exciting news. There's a copy of his 'How Scotland Lost Her Parliament and What Came of It' (1891) en route! ๐ฆ๐
If anyone has knowledge of the existence of the book, reviewed here, 'The Treaty of Union between England and Scotland' by Charles Waddie (Thistledown) - let me know about as there would appear to be zero copies anywhere. I not just talking about for sale either. Seems strange...

Uni is what led to me collecting books, mostly with regards Scottish history, and reading more, thereby leading me to realise the dubiousness of your statements & historical beliefs.
