Economic Freedom: The Engine Behind Scotland's Thriving Tech Sector
The Value of Economic Freedom in Scotland's Flourishing Tech Sector Hello, dear readers! Today, let’s delve into how economic freedom is catalyzing the rapid growth of Scotland’s tech sector, spotlighting the intertwined relationship between free-market policies and technological advancement. Scotland is increasingly becoming a beacon for tech innovation, thanks in large part to a business environment that champions deregulation, ease of doing business, and entrepreneurial spirit. Such policies have not only attracted investments from major global companies but have also provided fertile ground for home-grown start-ups to flourish. Key to this growth is the Scottish Government's commitment to creating a supportive ecosystem for tech enterprises. Initiatives that minimise red tape and provide financial incentives have been vital. For example, tax reliefs and grants for research and development have enabled small firms to innovate without the burden of hefty upfront costs. However, the journey isn’t without challenges. As the sector expands, there is a growing need for skilled talent. Scotland must address this by enhancing its educational frameworks to meet the evolving demands of the tech industry. Additionally, continuous investment in digital infrastructure is crucial to accommodate the growing tech enterprises and to maintain Scotland's competitive edge on the global stage. Moreover, fostering a culture that encourages risk-taking and innovation is essential. By advocating for policies that protect intellectual property, provide clear regulatory guidelines, and support competitive practices, Scotland can sustain its momentum and continue to attract top talent and investment. Looking ahead, the role of economic freedom in shaping the future of Scotland’s tech sector cannot be overstated. As we champion these free-market principles, we not only advance technological innovation but also ensure that it leads to broader economic benefits, enhancing prosperity across Scotland. How can Scotland further leverage economic freedom to boost its tech sector? What additional measures should be considered to maintain this growth trajectory? Thank you for joining today’s discussion on the critical role of economic freedom in Scotland’s tech evolution. Warm regards, Alastair Majury *Perspectives Unbound* --- *Stay tuned to Perspectives Unbound for more insights into how free-market principles are empowering industries and communities across Scotland.*

Harry had watched the map with Poppy’s antidote drones activate and spread the much needed cure to the ‘dancing disease’ to all of those in need of it.
  It was a bittersweet moment.
They had fulfilled their duty. As Kingsmen, as men of honour, and for their fallen comrades.
  For Merlin.
Harry swallowed painfully as Eggsy beamed at his side and looked back towards the Cambodian forest, knowing that the body of his best friend, his lover in the forest. Strewn in pieces...
  Harry was struggling to keep it all in.
His right eye creased imperceptibly, the skin folding.
Back up had arrived by the time they had secured the area, been sure that Poppy hadn’t left any fail safes, any traps, any unpleasant surprises in the event of her death and a Cowboy, they took to be Statesmen, though absent his hat arrived with a gun, he jerked his head.
“Come on, we need to get y’all back. Your Strat. Exec is in a bad way.”
  Harry’s forehead furrowed, puckered slightly.
“...Strat-Exec?”
“The bald Wizard.”
“...He’s alive?”
“Just about, Come on!”
  Harry ran as fast as his legs would carry him, looking behind at Eggsy who was carrying the red case and following.
  As Harry made it to the jungle, he stepped with hesitation, looking to the trampled vegetation where they had stepped and now other agents were carefully scanning to determine where they could step and saw two medical personnel carrying a stretcher towards the aircraft.
“Merlin!!” Harry yelled, unable to retain his calm any longer and sped towards them.

"Yes, of course.", the smile only seemed to affect one side of his mouth and only that. His eyes stayed stony. "Whatever else would I be referring to?"

The irony of the situation was not lost on Harry as he sat by Merlin’s bed and wondered. “It’s quite silly to feel guilty, isn’t it, old friend?”, he said into the quiet of the hospital room. The EEG machine to his left described even, symetrical curves. Unending and unchanging, physical proof that Merlin was still lost to this world.
After months.
He had never asked Ginger Ale how long he had been out, after the church incident. Maybe he should? But what if she told him he had woken up right away? He’d just worry more about Merlin than he already did.
“I know we did the right thing. Poppy needed to be stopped. We saved the world, once again.”, he glanced at Merlin, caught sight of where the covers flattened out far too soon, then away, at the lean white walls of the room. “How am I supposed to do this without you, old friend?”

“Merlin, you called for me?” Today was supposed to be her day off after getting back from a mission really late the night before. She hoped it wasn’t a mission and was perhaps a presentation of new tech or just a debrief. Despite wearing her Kingsman suit and her glasses, her hair was all over the place and she looked like she hadn’t really slept.

"Goodbye"
Send me “Goodbye” for the last voice message my muse leaves for yours before they die.
B O O M.
Jack heard the gunshot before he felt it. A sharp, burning pain that suddenly appeared between his ribs on the left side of his chest. The bullet had nicked his heart, but went through his lung. If there was one thing he regretted in the first few seconds of realization, it was the fact he had been cocky enough to think he wouldn’t need the ballistics undersuit. It was supposed to be a simple in and out recon mission after all. Why would he need it? 
His eyes were wide as he lifted one shaky hand to press against the already heavily bleeding wound. He aimed at the person that shot him, barely managing to raise his six-shooter to fire off a round, but he did, hitting the other. Stumbling back a bit, Jack found cover behind an overturned car, trying his best not to pass out. The adrenaline in his system was quickly leaving and Jack tried his best to breathe calmly while putting as much pressure as he could on the wound. He felt unable to catch his breath, and some part of Jack’s mind knew he wasn’t going to make it out alive. Not this time.
Hamish. 
The name shoots through his mind like a bullet, and with his free hand, he reaches up to tap the side of his glasses. He wanted - no - needed to say goodbye to the man he had fallen in love with. A soft, warm smile appeared on his face when he saw the picture he put as Hamish’s on his phone. It was of one of the rare times he had caught Hamish sleeping late in the morning, and Jack couldn’t help at the time but snap a photo. He looked so peaceful, and Jack’s heart melted every time he saw the image. Even now as he sat behind a car, dying, it caused his heart to melt.
Of course. Voicemail. Well, best make this call count.
“H-Hey, darlin’. I know I told you I’d be home tomorrow, but I uh, I don’t think I’m gonna be there on time. I know I ain’t been late before, but… but somethin’s come up. Listen, I love you, Hamish. Yer the damn light of my life, and I wish…” I wish I was coming home. “I wish I were home right now. Bet yer… yer doin’ somethin’ with that tech of yers. Tinkerin’ or somethin’. Sorry, got ramblin’. I’m real sorry for the call yer gonna get from Ginger. Just please know that I love you, Hamish.”
Breathing became increasingly hard throughout the call, and Jack could feel his mind struggling to form coherent sentences. He let out a few wet coughs, trying not to let out the loud groan of pain that was building from the coughing fit.
“S-Sorry about that. Choked a little on some water I got.” Jack wasn’t sure how much longer he would be able to hold on, his body growing cold and he could no longer feel the pain from the gunshot wound. He closed his eyes, hoping the recording wouldn’t stop yet.
“Country roads…~ Take me home…~ T-To the place, I belong~” Singing. The soft click of the recording shutting off didn’t stop Jack though. He’d be damned if he died in the middle of John Denver, yet death had other plans for the cowboy. Not soon after the voicemail stopped recording, Jack’s own heart stopped.

Eggsy was visibly trembling the moment he heard the click of the landmine. He clenched his jaw as he felt beyond sick to his stomach, eyes scanning from the device triggered beneath his foot to that of his mentor, then finally his boyfriend.
His heart broke the moment he met Merlin’s gaze. How could he have been so fucking careless? How did the scanner miss it? Taking a shaky breath, he gave a small grimace, clearly scared for his life and theirs. 
“Merlin.” He finally managed, voice shaking and tone laced with fear. “I-I fink I fucked up real bad, bruv.”

☰ - Fun random fact about the mun!
munday meme || status: open
This is more a fun fact about my family than about me, but my great-great aunt survived the Titanic! When I was a kid I was super interested in the Titanic, so I always thought it was really fascinating that someone in my family had firsthand experience with it.

@scottishtech hit the fuckin’  ❤

Somehow Eggsy wasn’t surprised to find that the man hadn’t been home yet, still sat in the same spot in front of large monitors. He looked exhausted, eyes slightly narrowed as he focused, the mug beside Merlin’s hand holding coffee that had long since gone cold. He wouldn’t pretend to know what was going on up on the screens or what Merlin was working so furiously on, but Eggsy knew the other needed a break. He took three quick strides over to him, a hand slowly moving to rest on the other’s shoulder. “Hey, mate. I’m thinkin’ you should probably give it a rest. Get some kip or sommit. Have you even eaten yet?” Eggsy’s questions to the scottsman were gentle, and soothing, or so he hoped. He was shit at taking care of himself, he wasn’t sure how much he could offer Merlin, really.

FOR EVERY PERSON THAT SENDS ME ✭ I WILL GIVE YOU A RANDOM HEADCANON ABOUT MY MUSE.
Jack knows French and English. Despite having lived in Texas a majority of his life, and now living in Kentucky, he does not know fluent Spanish.
Jack would lay down his life for any of the other Statesman, and now Kingsman, agents. They’re like family to him, and he’ll be damned if anyone hurts his family anymore.

@scottishtech gets a spooky starter 🎃
Eggsy grinned widely as he squeezed Hamish’s hand, enthusiastically pulling him along like a small child at Disneyworld. It was a striking juxtaposition, given that they were heading up the stairs toward a notoriously haunted mansion for an overnight ghost tour.
“Bruv, I am honestly like, shaking wif excitement right now. See?” He held his hand up to Hamish before opening the door for them, propping it open briefly for the older agent. He adjusted his backpack as he looked around enthusiastically. “Babe, I can’t believe you agreed to this. I am so ready.” He bounced excitedly on his heels as looked eagerly at his boyfriend. “How you feelin’?”
