ignoring the assault on a young peaceful protestor and then arresting him is now being shared all over the world. Their behaviour has brought shame to Scotland.
Unionists deserting Scotland in droves to save a bit of income tax will reduce property prices in Scotland. Lower mortgages and increased quality of life for those that remain. Win/win! ๐
Remember when FM Sturgeon endured months of relentless pressure from unionist politicians and media for *allegedly* breaching the ministerial code.
Well Braverman admitted to breaching it last week and this week she's back in the same job. And barely a whimper from the UK media.
Now the Scottish Government has done something I don't like, I no longer support Scotland's right to self-determination, said no genuine independence supporter ever.
Reports are coming in that Police Scotland are currently seeing a spike in activity from agitators desperate to kickstart far-right riots in Scotland.
Most activity seems to be centred on the building below.

The police raid on the home of unelected Scottish Conservative and Unionist politician, Michelle Mone, is arguably one of the biggest Scottish political stories of the year.
Glenn Campbell should be all over this like a rash, instead, he's posted missing!

Tories leaving Scotland to save a few quid on income tax will further shift the balance in favour of independence. Bye-bye greedy Tories. Bye-bye UK. ๐๐
Simply put, a political party that Scotland never votes for has just over-ruled the government that we elected.
Whatever you think of the issue, that's just colonial style democracy.
Clarkson's vile outburst in which he makes a point of mentioning his hatred of Nicola Sturgeon is a stark reminder that the UK unionist cause has a massive problem with hatred. It's very worrying.
Right, she's buried. Is now the right time to protest about how she used taxpayers money to allow her son to avoid trial for sexual assault on a victim of sex trafficking?
Right now the world is seeing pictures of rubbish piling up on the streets of Edinburgh. For the benefit of the UK media, this is the person who is responsible. Cammy Day - Leader of Edinburgh Council and Labour Group Leader

This is genuinely troubling.
Since his first thought at 8:32am this morning, Conservative MSP Stephen Kerr has so far sent 11 tweets naming Nicola Sturgeon. Is he recklessly stoking hatred or just a creepy obsessive?

Unionists leaving Scotland to save a bit on income tax should free up some great jobs for those of us with a social conscience who remain. Another win. ๐

In Scotland, health expert Prof Sridhar reveals she's received death threats and racist and misogynist abuse during Covid.
This should be headline news but unionist media and politicians barely acknowledge it because they know they created the culture that led to the threats.
I see some English people saying they won't visit Scotland because of something our government has done.
I'm often appalled at things their government does and I might think, should I stop holidaying in England. Then I remember I'm not a bigoted arsehole and so still go.

The controversial UK state news agency in Scotland has served up saturation coverage of an ยฃ11k roaming charge for the last 2 weeks.
Did anyone see them even once mention this story of aggressive tax avoidance involving one of their own? ๐ค
Talk of police under-resourcing in Scotland is clearly nonsense.
Why, only a few months ago we watched them commit "more than 20 officers" to the search of a 3-bedroom house.
That's clearly not an organisation that's short-staffed.

SNP minister accidentally occurs ยฃ11k iPad bill - 17 days of saturation coverage and platforming opposition politicians
UK Govt minister makes false claims. Damages and costs are paid using taxpayers cash - quick tweet, move along, nothing to see.
It's safe to assume that many of those who donated to the Conservative party didn't agree to their donations being used in this way.
Does anyone have coverage of the police tents and Johnson's garden getting dug up? ๐ค

Earlier this week I bought some delicious beers (from a wide choice) in a local shop here in Krakow.
Part of the price was a 1 zloty deposit for each bottle.
Today, I'll return the empties, get my deposit back and buy more beers.
There's no chaos.
Civilisation will not collapse.
I urge you to spread the word. The Conservative UK Govt has been caught red-handed focusing on thwarting Scottish independence instead of tackling the COVID pandemic.
It's an utter bombshell - and shameful.
I guess COVID didn't sell the union well enough for the Tories. ๐ค

NEW: Rishi Sunak has claimed the SNP want to set โScots against the English" during a brief speech at the Scottish Tory conference.
It comes after the sparsely attended event was compared to the disastrous Willy Wonka experience in Glasgow.

I really hope this is just gaslighting, because it's terrifying to think that a unionist MSP would be so ill-informed about the workings of the union they so slavishly defend.

Will the inquiry uncover why employees of the UK state broadcaster were publicly undermining Scottish Govt restrictions during the pandemic?
The Scottish Govt provided over 14,000 Whatsapp messages to the UK Covid Inquiry.
If we're to believe media reports, all that was learned from these is that Nicola Sturgeon called Johnson a "fucking clown".
Once again, the media has utterly failed the people of Scotland.
