Five years ago next week I took up hillwalking when going through a period of severe depression. Since then I’ve averaged a Munro (a Scottish mountain over 3,000 ft) a week and today summited my 282nd and final Munro, Mòruisg. Dark clouds always pass and life can get better. ☀️

Saying the SNP didn’t accept the result of the 2014 vote is a complete reframing of what actually happened. The result was entirely respected, but Scotland was then taken out of EU against our social/economic interests. That’s when #IndyRef2 was called for

The SNP and Scottish Greens were democratically elected by the public with explicit manifesto commitments to hold an independence referendum in this parliamentary term. It can't be a huge shock that money has been allocated in the Scottish Budget to facilitate such a referendum.

The question is not just, “should Scotland be an independent country?”, it’s also whether we live in a democracy. In 2021, Scotland elected a pro-independence majority government on a clear mandate for an independence referendum. If live in a democracy, that should take place.
