The end of nationalism in Scotland

Dishonest John Swinney now says he and his party are for new oil and gas fields. He also criticises Labour on their policy to ban North Sea drilling. 🙄 This after spending years criticising the UK government and having a policy of moving away from oil and gas and demanding no more new drilling. Whatever the UK government do he will say the opposite he’s got no credibility whatsoever. He and his party are just a protest party against WM Scotland deserves better than that. Showing yet again Devolution has failed the Scottish people. Just for clarity I also criticise Labour on their new policy. But the difference is I’ve always said we should drill more oil and gas for energy security.

1. Scotland didn't want independence when oil was discovered, or in 2014 or now so 'it's oooor oil' is a fake grievance. 2. You can't both spend money and save it simultaneously. 3. Scotland gets more spending than it earns in tax EVERY year. This includes oil revenues. ...

Sturgeon is a piece of shit. We all know it. Why is her rehabilitation being facilitated by the media? She has nothing to offer. And how can she recall all these details yet knew nothing about her “husband”? Get tae fuck.

Lies. Tax raised in Scotland £98b. Spending in and for Scotland £123b. The extra money comes from ... the UK Gov't. The extra money stops if ... Scexit.

John Swinney refuses to listen to a Holyrood committee. John Swinney refuses to listen to his own SNP members. John Swinney has never listened to the majority of Scotland. John Swinney only listens to John Swinney-and Nicola Sturgeon #SNPout #ResignSwinney dailyrecord.co.uk/news/polit…

“PAY UP”? The absolute brass neck of The National splashing a demand for UK reparations across its front page while conveniently forgetting that Scotland was a massive, enthusiastic architect of the British Empire. Have the editors completely scrubbed Glasgow’s merchant city from their collective memory? A massive chunk of Scottish wealth was built directly on the back of Caribbean plantations. If the UK starts handing over “trillions or billions of pounds”, an independent Scotland is going to be handed a colossal, per-capita share of that reparations bill. It is utterly hilarious to watch a Scottish nationalist paper proudly champion financial reparations while pretending their own nation was just an innocent bystander to the Empire😂
Tomorrow's front page 📰 Activists demand UK pay reparations for its role in the slave trade

This selfish man does not care about ScotLand or the people he only cares for his own agenda no matter what it does to us.
John Swinney backs rules allowing foreign nationals with temporary stay the right to stand in elections. His position on the rules, which have been in the spotlight after the election of Green MSP Q Manivannan, puts him at odds with Holyrood's standards committee.

Your periodic reminder that when the wind doesn't blow Scotland, the Saudi Arabia of wind, is dependent on electricity transfers from England to keep the heating on. Currently 912MW being transferred. Without Torness nuclear it would 2,100MW (most of Scotland's demand).

I wonder if BELLA CALEDONIA realises that attacking the Daily Mail does absolutely nothing to disprove the fact that an SNP MP and Green MSP were blocked from entering the West Bank for plotting an “intentional provocation for social media clout”.

Absolutely nothing is due by way of reparations. And Blair already made an apology. Those former colonies would be economic backwaters has it not been for our investment and infrastructure etc. They should be paying us

Would slashing disability benefits be unfair? The government is under pressure to cut the ballooning welfare bill, and Chancellor John Healey says he'll do it in a 'Labour way'. Do you trust him to do it humanely? Would you rather see a wealth tax or cuts elsewhere?

That's the way it should be . Dundonians and Weegies are Snps biggest supporters , so its only fair they take all the asylum seekers.
