@a @BelieveinScotland according to Google, the fastest you can get from the Mull of Galloway (the most southerly point in Scotland, to Unst, our most northerly island, is 19 hours and fifty minutes. To Hermaness on Unst, more than twenty hours. I'd be surprised if you could do it that quickly.
The geographic mid-point of the United Kingdom is near Peebles, in the Scottish Borders.
We may be too stupid, but we're neither too wee nor too poor for #ScottishIndependence .

writes:“Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s refusal to accept Scotland's demands for a second referendum isn't just a betrayal of his own claimed key principle; it is as much a denial of reality as it is of democracy.
Just like all his recent failed predecessors as PM, he doesn't give a damn about Scotland, its people, and their needs.
Treating Scotland as a region of England rather than a sovereign nation and proving that there is no voluntary element to the Union is not going to make the issue of Scotland's independence go away.
We are not asking for a referendum; we are demanding one. We are demanding the right of Scotland's people to choose Scotland's future. The "Celtic Exit" is underway; all three of the UK's Celtic nations are led by Governments that wish to end the UK. More and more of the people of those nations are now refusing to accept that they can be continually outvoted, ignored, and economically harmed by an overwhelmingly anglocentric Westminster Government.
His own team encourages the media to call him the King of the North, which is about as egotistical as politics gets. What they haven’t considered is that it can take more than 3 hours to drive from South Scotland to Manchester and the real North of Scotland is 4 hours in the other direction.
There were people in Scotland who thought Corbyn was the answer - he wasn’t. Then they thought getting rid of the Tories was the answer - it wasn’t. To be brutally honest, Burnham just isn't the answer; he's just the new face of the ongoing problem that no UK PM of any party gives a damn about Scotland.
Scotland’s wellbeing will only be realised when all of Scotland’s problems and opportunities are fully in Scotland’s hands. Only independence offers the solutions Scotland needs.”

Time to go. ✊️🏴🏴🇮🇪
John Swinney has told the new Prime Minister that with a pro-independence majority in Holyrood, the future of Scotland must be "decided by the people of Scotland".
"He is right that Westminster has failed Scotland. I will work with him to improve the lives of people in Scotland, and to deliver the choice over our future that they have voted for."
John Swinney discusses independence in first call with new PM

Scotland doesn't need Burnham's scraps. We need to be independent and in full control of any energy generated in our country. No more National Grid. No more incredibly long cables to englandshire. If they want it they can pay for it. Scotland has had enough of being Westminster’s cash cow and resources pot.

@Wen I did have. I had projecthope.scot for years from 2015, but I've let it lapse as it's obvious no one is still serious about #ScottishIndependence

Independence is our right. Not a cap in hand request for a favour.
ONE day the independence movement needs to face an uncomfortable question – did we really believe the politicians when they told us that they had “a brilliant secret plan but we can’t tell you about it”, three times in a row – or are we simply believing what we want to be true even when we know it isn’t?
The time for fairytales in Scottish independence movement is over

Andy Burnham says he wants to give back hope to the country...and is going to announce plans to extract more oil and gas from the north sea. That certainly doesn't fill me with hope
Political power is too centralised, he says, and needs to be devolved away from Westminster (No, not you, Scotland).
So, more of the same, then
Scotland really needs to get out of this mess

Scotland has returned a record pro-independence Holyrood majority, Wales has elected a pro-independence First Minister, and Northern Ireland’s First Minister is calling for reunification. Three-quarters of the UK’s nations are now on a path towards leaving it and that changes everything.
Independence needs a strategy for victory, not a shortcut to defeat

The Guardian got this right
"In recent weeks, Sir Keir has repeatedly cited the alleviation of child poverty as one of his government’s proudest achievements. But he could only do so because mutinous Labour MPs forced his administration to think again and finally lift a child benefit cap."
The Guardian 16/7/26Let's hope Andy Burnham is much better even though early signs are not encouraging.

Viva Argentina! The best team won. End of story. It looks like the English were premature with their " it's coming home ' claims yet again.

Here in Scotland we saw criminal investigations for fraud for missing funds at SNP with former CEO imprisoned. Rightly so, but here we are talking about £10 billion given to Tory cronies with only a wrist slapping. No criminal charges and no one sent to prison. One rule for the rich !
