But it wasn’t frivolous at all, Cait thought. To her, it was earth-shaking, and history-making, yet as fragile as a folktale.

Overthrow the UK

*puts phone on hold* look I'm on call with the trans agenda right now and they say they're working as fast as they can

So fucking tired of being told trans rights need to be put on hold so whatever project establishment “lefties” are working on at the moment isn’t inconvenienced.

section 35 will be remembered with section 28 by generations of lgbtq+ people to come

We will get through this together, we will beat this with support for each other, and we will burry the tories in the dustbin of history where they belong

“The Scottish parliament does not have the power to legislate for a referendum on Scottish independence” rules the UK Supreme Court today.

Scotland, 2014

The positive energy and sheer hope I felt as a 17 year old in September 2014 is something that I'll remember for the rest of my life. That brief moment in time where the world was for the taking and the things I wanted for my country lay just on the other side of a ballot shaped my politics forever. 18th September 2014 was truly the day I became insufferable about Scotland and her potential, and 10 years later I'm still, happily, insufferable.

(PS if you're into fantasy, I wrote a novel to capture the hope and frustration that comes with being a pesky separatist)

No TORY SHITESACKS (at) any time

Edinburgh, January 2024.

Hey my friend! So sorry for your Brexit woes. In the States we have some wingnuts pushing for Texas to leave the US. (!) It’s like some sort of contagion. Ugh. 😑 Good to know you’re back home and safe.

Good to hear from you! In truth, whilst brexit was the biggest act of self harm in history, it almost certainly boosted the independence argument in Scotland. Many Scots voted to remain in the UK in the 2014 referendum because they fell for the tory lie that it was the best way of ensuring we stayed in the EU. Fast forward to 2016 and suddenly brexit was a reality, despite 62% of Scots voting to remain in the EU.

Worse was to come under Boris Johnson. He did what his far right puppeteers wanted and executed the hardest of hard brexits. In doing so, he threw Scottish exporters under the bus and effectively destroyed our fishing industry. We're not alone; the Northern Ireland protocol that has been so important in keeping the peace there was also tossed onto his bonfire of vanities. Wales is slightly different for lots of reasons, but nonetheless the nationalist spirit is rising there too...

Britain is no longer the UK. It's an international laughing stock and more of a disunited kingdom than I can recall at any time in my life. Many Scots (and I hesitate to say a majority because that would need a referendum) want out from under Westminster rule. If nothing else, the Supreme Court's decision makes it clear that the so-called voluntary union is anything but. Thus Scotland, and indeed each of the devolved territories, are effectively colonies.

Westminster knows it cannot survive without Scotland's enormous fiscal contribution. We generate enough energy - from renewable sources - to power our nation and still have enough to export. The North Sea oil fields in Scottish waters, which the tories asserted in 2014 were exhausted, now miraculously have many more years life in them (handy that, when you're trying to fill the £multi-billion black hole that your last leader created in the space of just a few weeks).

Scotland has hydro power, wind power, timber and water. The latter will become the new oil in the near future. We have tourism and world-renowned whisky. We can revitalise our fishing and seafood industries if we have unfettered access to the European Market.

We're big enough and strong enough. It's time. My personal view is that Scottish Independence has built into an unstoppable movement. Now it's a matter of when and how, not if.

I visited Texas & Louisiana a few years back. Texas in particular was very different to my other experiences in other parts of America. Yes it's a big state and yes it has oil, but secession? In truth I'm not qualified to judge.

And yes, we're back home in the place that I love. It was good to see our daughter and meet our future extended family. It was a genuine pleasure to feel that warmth that I've felt so many times from folks in countries throughout Europe. But there's nothing quite like the Highlands & there really is no place like home.

England isn't going to stop sinking, and the chain around our ankle just got a little tighter.
