Here is what the 3 principal streets of Glasgow city centre: Argyle St, Sauchiehall St, Buchanan St have looked like for years.
The woman who was having a go at Stephen Flynn on STV news blaming him for her shop being destroyed by Storm Boelo and not acting quickly enough, well lo and behold she is a Tory candidate and activist, the stv news journalist must have known this but failed to mention it, 👇
Scrap VAT on fuel, get the energy price rises capped & scrap standing charges & unlink electricity from gas. Fucking do something to actually help people, oh and while you're at it TAX THE FUCKING RICH & THE BIG CORPS.
The UK Government must scrap VAT on petrol and diesel sales, the SNP have said, as new polling found voters want to see action on energy prices as the top priority from the upcoming Budget 👇
Scotch Whisky has been heavily-Taxed, for two centuries. There's not an exact, cumulative figure (of course there's not!) but its been a major UK cashcow, since 1823.
Scotch is 25% of ALL UK Food and Drink Exports.
Scotch is exploited.
Should the Highland town of Fort William be renamed (possibly Inverlochy) ?
As recently as 1874 the town was renamed Fort William, in honour of the sectarian british King William III, the man who sanctioned the Glencoe Massacre ?

Why do shareholders get the rewards when workers create the wealth a company generates? Is it time to rethink just what companies are for and to require that the rewards be shared more fairly? youtu.be/15r28WaimP8?...
Scotch Whisky is a 200 year-old, Westminster cashcow, that would only be improved by an entirely different Tax landscape. It's been exploited for Centuries.
Even a twit realises, we need Scottish Independence.
So the most suitable refinery is in the Netherlands 😵💫😵💫 if we only had one closer to home. You know the one that Labour sacrificed. So much wrong with this country 😡😡😡
My latest blog piece, the £1 trillion cost of the Union to Scotland is revealed as Westminster embarks on a second theft of Scotland's natural wealth. Only independence can ensure Scotland’s vast energy wealth is used to benefit the people of Scotland.

My deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of the two people who have tragically lost their lives as a result of Storm Boelo.
My thoughts are with all those affected by the damage, and I thank the emergency services working through the night to keep people safe.

🇬🇧 🏴 So it turns out that Andy Burnham is just another uber-unionist fundamentalist PM, who believes that it is for him to determine Scotland’s constitutional future, and NOT the people of Scotland 🏴 🇪🇺
🇬🇧 🏴 Burnham also states that the (English) “PUBLIC ARE THE BOSSES” to decide on rejoining the EU
“THE PUBLIC ARE THE BOSSES” according to Burnham….unless it’s the Scottish public
🇬🇧 🏴 Uber-unionist Andy Burnham is all for the public deciding on whether or not the uk rejoins the EU, yet Scottish independence is “OFF LIMITS”, no matter that a majority in Scotland support independence
🏴🇪🇺😎
🇬🇧 In 1974 the uk Gov MCRONE REPORT concluded that the benefit of North Sea oil to the economy of an independent Scotland would result in a:
“chronic surplus to a quite embarrassing degree, and its currency would become the hardest in Europe"
🇬🇧 The uk Gov immediately classified the Report as SECRET
Independent Scotland will be one of the Richest Countries in Europe.
#bettertogether citizens, it's time to admit, we've passed the tipping point. A lot has changed, since 2014.

Surely not. I live in Scotland, which has an abundance of renewable energy? Ah, but we remain imprisoned in that 'precious' Union.
Some of Europe’s highest energy costs expected in Britain this winter www.theguardian.com/business/202...
PPE Medpro, the company owned by Baroness Michelle Mone and Doug Barrowman, owes HMRC £39 million in unpaid tax.
This debt is owed directly by the now-liquidated company. It sits on top of a DIFFERENT £148 million (including interest) that the firm was ordered to repay.
What's happening?
UK to experience highest energy cost in Europe this winter 🤔
Scotland to experience highest energy costs in UK this winter 🤔🤬😡

The UK is only in debt because it Privatised everything.
If Margaret Thatcher had never existed and we never privatised Oil, Gas, Electricity, Airports, Water, Mail, Rail, Rolls Royce, British Airways...
We would have Trillions of Pounds and own everything, just like Norway.
