UK diluting international law
I do not believe #Scotland’s future lies within a Union which risks taking us into an #illegal #war
It’s a #Union pandering to #bullies, which fails to condemn #WarCrimes, which actively supports and funds a #genocide, which sells our defence contracts to dangerous companies who co-ordinate #atrocity #crimes and which feels more comfortable in isolation from the world than it does in working with our allies.

US & Israel’s attacks on Iran breached international law – so both nations’ militaries would be banned outright from an independent #Scotland, John Swinney has said
We have always been an outward-looking country, it’s part of who we are. That is what #Westminster parties misunderstand when they say Scotland has no right to speak out on international events
That defending #HumanRights & #InternationalLaw is, somehow, not Scotland's business

#Labour's Rachel #Reeves refuses to speak to Scottish #newspapers during visit to Scotland
Chancellor’s sleekit visit to #whisky #distillery in East #Lothian lasted long enough to take a lengthy tour but simply not long enough for her to spare even a moment for #Scotland’s print #press.
An invite had been sent around to an extremely select few newspapers late on Tuesday night, but it was swiftly rescinded on Wednesday morning.

McCrone report saw Gavin McCrone reveal 51 years ago how North Sea #oil and #gas could have made #Scotland rich, but it wasn’t revealed by Westminster until 2005.

David Cameron vetoes #Rockall fishing agreement between Scotland & Ireland
Despite #Irish & Scottish governments spending 2 years agreeing to the deal – #fisheries are a devolved power – it has been shut down by the Foreign Office
Sources said the reason was entirely political - UK Govt didn't want to be seen agreeing a deal with an #EU nation
The veto is latest example of #Westminster overruling devolved #Scottish government decisions
