So just like the English Prince of Wales is a symbol of English domination of the Welsh, the Stone of Destiny being placed beneath the throne of the English king is a symbol of the English domination of the Scots, symbolism is a powerful tool, time this came to an end.
#NotMyKing
🧵NEW: The Stone of Destiny will be moved to London for King Charles's coronation. No date has been set yet, but it is expected to take place next year.
It was the subject of one of Scotland's most infamous heists on Christmas Day 1950...
Saw a homeless guy outside Asda Hamilton front doors today, a staff member was asking him to move away from the store so I gave him a tenner and told him to go get himself something to eat and asked the staff member why he was moving the guy when he wasn't bothering anybody/
He basically said it was store policy. I fucking hate how they try to make these people invisible and treat them like they're less than human, how about showing some compassion and bring the guy out a sandwich instead of moving him on.😠

41 years ago today at 2pm I married the love of my life Jim in a wee registry office in Port Glasgow, people said we were too young at 18 and 21 and we barely knew each other as we'd only been going out for 10 months but we knew. I love him even more today, he is my soulmate.♥️
Hubby's op was at 7am this morning and that's him just out and in the recovery room, everything went well and his tumour is gone and bowel stitched back together so I don't think he's got a Stoma bag. It took longer than expected but it's done at last. I'm so relieved, going up/
Funny how a wee word like "pished" gets their knickers in a twist but listening to Tories lie and mislead the house, break rules and scam billions from the public purse and silence is golden from them. WM is a cesspit of corruption and not fit for purpose. Time Scotland left.

Hit the nail on the head, me recycling and trying to be as eco friendly as I can pales in comparison to big corporations and billionaires and their planet polluting companies.
Today was me and Jim's 43rd wedding anniversary, honestly it's gone by so fast it's hard to believe it could have been that long ago. We're a couple of auld codgers now but still very much in love.

I have to laugh at all these yoon accounts who seem to think that because NS is resigning and there's a bit of upheaval going on inside SNP at the moment that independence is dead, bit of news for them, the independence movement is bigger than the SNP or any other party and/
Any Scots sitting there this morning saying well the SNHS is devolved at least so the Tory NHS privatisation couldn't happen here need to remember the IMB which gives WM the power to overrule our parliament even on devolved matters like our SNHS. Be afraid, be very afraid, they

Alex Cole-Hamilton was born in England, as a Scot I would never call for England to cease to exist: I am seriously scunnered by people from outside Scotland interfering in Scottish democracy.
They'd be rid of the subsidy junkie Jocks and wouldn't have to pay for all our free shit not give us money to run our too wee, too poor, too stupid country.
Oh dear, a guy who'd rather have a foreign country running his own country than put on his big boy pants and do what every other country in the world does and run it's own affairs. Sad and pathetic that Scotland is riddled with these scaredy cat Scots too feart of responsibility
So Nicola was able to retrieve deleted WhatsApp messages and turn them over to the inquiry eh yet Boris et al all said theirs were irretrievably lost🤔

Anyone with an ounce of sense knows that Labour are deader than the dodo in Scotland, we remember them standing shoulder to shoulder with Tories in 2014 and now doing the same in Scottish councils, never trust a red Tory.
On TV last night and his comments confirmed that his Unionist Labour Party only wanted Scottish Vote to help them win in England!
Unionist Labour want Scottish votes to get them into power
and use our green energy and fresh water resources to bribe Voters in England!

#AbolishTheMonarchy
Great day at the Believe in Scotland rally, a good turnout, George Square was full, brilliant speakers and the sun was shining and I think my neck got sunburned.
I'm feeling there are some very dark forces at work in Scottish politics, we've been infiltrated and manipulated by WM forces at work inside our govt, we must be so close to regaining our freedom.
#ScottishIndependence
I'm still voting for an independence party at both the GE and the next HR elections regardless of arrests and charges, independence first and foremost.

#EndLondonRule
Douglas Ross minds me of the wee nyaffs I used to see on the street corners yrs ago, loud, ignorant and full of self importance but no substance.
#WeeDaftyRoss
I don't know that there's a single British politician that annoys me quite as much as Douglas Ross. The mix of smarm, vexatiousness, mendacity and entitlement results in an almost overwhelming punchability ratio. Yet, whelm such feelings we must, for we are civilised. Still. UGH.
So David Cameron has threatened to withdraw co-operation with Scottish ministers, when did they ever co-operate anyway other than to tell us we're not allowed to do something, are we fecking weans who can't make decisions for ourselves😠
Time Scotland left this unequal union.
This is the reason both the Tories & Labour will not "allow" the people of Scotland to vote on their own future: they keep Scotland a political prisoner because they know England would be bankrupt without Scottish resources.
It's our 40th wedding anniversary today, 40 yrs and it seems like the blink of an eye. Obviously we can't celebrate the way we would like but in today's world we're just happy to still be alive and together.

Happy World Whisky Day! 🥃🏴 🌎
53 bottles exported every second to 180 markets across the world worth £6.2 billion
A massive Scottish success story.
As MSP for Speyside and lots of wonderful distilleries, I say Slainte!
They're coming after Holyrood...... They want it shut down. They want any independence dreams squashed .... We the people of Scotland say NO to london rule. ✊️🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
Both WM Tories and now the Red Tories view Scotland as a possession,Scotland belongs to the Scots who live there and so does our vast natural resources which are the very reason neither will let us go willingly
We will free our country from this toxic union
#ScottishIndependence
NEW: THE BBC has been accused of trying to 'skew' the independence debate after publishing an article platforming young people’s views – without disclosing the political careers of the interviewees
Gordon Brown, "We are in a make or break decade for our economy"
"Our growth levels are half of what they were in the last two or three decades" (when we were in the EU)
"Our productivity levels are now lower than it was than at any time since the industrial revolution"

Scotland's independence is not reserved to WM, a section 30 might be but Scotland's freedom isn't, that rests in the hands of the sovereign Scottish people, Vichy viceroy "union" Jack and WM Tories don't own Scotland and never will.

Scottish Secretary Alister Jack highlighted a tweet from "person of interest" Nicola Sturgeon while giving examples of where the Scottish Government discussed reserved matters with foreign governments
NEW: Rishi Sunak has claimed the SNP want to set “Scots against the English" during a brief speech at the Scottish Tory conference.
It comes after the sparsely attended event was compared to the disastrous Willy Wonka experience in Glasgow.
Just had Scottish Labour at ma door, hubby answered it and told them we vote SNP, he closed the door and I came out to see who it was and he was trying to stop me opening the door but I got it open and told them to fuck off cos they were red Tory khunts and couldn't be trusted.
This👇👏👏👏
Never trust a red Tory, just the same as blue Tories, only want Scotland for her resources and they don't share fairly just look at what Scotland's had from over 50yrs of massive oil and gas under WM rule....feck all that's what
#ScottishIndependenceASAP
#redtories
OK now SNP is not invested in Scotland, according to Starmer, only Liebour is as he then talks about stealing all.our new energy. Do ppl actually back more theft from WM, as we pay the highest energy bill in Scotland in the whole of the EU.

Feeling lied to yet? Feeling ripped off yet? Feeling like things need to change then this time vote YES and make the changes happen.
#ScottishIndependence
In 2014 Scotland's oil and gas revenues were apparently on the verge of disappearing according to Better Together. In 2023 the production company profits are so vast the Tories have applied a Windfall Tax to them.
#YouYesYet

Never forget, this is what they would drag us back to given half a chance, don't give them that chance, never forgive, never forget there is no "Scottish Labour" only a branch office of UK Labour working to keep us on our knees and subservient to WM.

@ScottishLabour
The only growth industries in Scotland under UK Labour were Poverty ,despair & some of the worst health issues anywhere. Glasgow was only surpassed by Naples in the most deprived & poverty levels in the whole of Western Europe. Glasgow 1970s 👇 under Morally Bankrupt Labour.
Obscene profits and all while people all over the UK sat through the winter scared to put their heating on and with wage stagnation and inflation even those in work struggle,
wake up ffs, we're being deliberately kept poor, hungry and cold to keep these bastards rich.
#EatTheRich
National Grid profit jumps to £4.6bn. Last yr CEO of this monopoly got paypacket of £6.5m.
£4,6bn profit adds to business costs, inflation, cost-of-living crisis.
Need public ownership of energy to end profiteering, accelerate use of renewable energy.
Know how certain services and benefits are better in Scotland and that achieved with only 32% of taxes raised here kept here, just imagine how much better things could be with all of it staying in Scotland. Not too wee or too poor.

Tonight Reporting Scotland led its news with an attack on Nicola Sturgeon's term in office, claiming she had failed on child poverty. The former FM was attacked by Labour and the Tories.
Scotland has the *lowest* rate of child poverty in the UK.

Thanks again for all the positive thoughts, hubby's cancer is thankfully confined to the one part of the bowel so he's in for an operation on 30th April, a week in hospital then 6-8wks recovery. Amazed by how fast this is happening, diagnosis about 3wks ago and operation within /
It's ma birthday today, 62yrs old, how the feck did that happen.😱
Got lovely gifts from ma girls and hubby including a big bouquet of flowers, books, cd, blu rays, garden ornaments and earrings. Going out for dinner tonight as well so I don't even have to cook

Outcome for him and me and our girls. Biopsy results in 7 days and scan approx the same time, our SNHS is full of wonderful caring staff who explained everything to us yesterday and even gave us a liaison nurse we can call with questions and for advice.
#FuckCancer
It is Scotland's oil and it's Scotland's clean energy, they've stolen trillions from our oil for half a century while Scotland got 8%,are we really going to let them steal our green energy for the next half century when with independence we can reap the rewards for our own people
Under Labour, Aberdeen will power Britain's clean energy future.
It was a pleasure to meet with Aberdeen's energy industry with

We discussed how a Labour government will invest in the clean energy that will cut bills and make us energy secure.

There can be no herd immunity with a coronavirus as they constantly mutate otherwise we'd all be immune to the common cold by now. Johnson has put the economy and the well being of capitalist enterprise ahead of people's lives. Taking away all restrictions is akin to manslaughter
Up to Hairmyers in the next 10 mins with hubby for results of his CT Scan and to discuss a treatment plan, have to admit I'm a bit scared and nervous but still hoping for the very best outcome ie that it's only in the bowel and nowhere else.

Hope so, poor guy, I always try to help if I can, it's just human decency, even just talk to them if you've no money or food to give. I gave a homeless guy in Glasgow £20 yrs ago at Xmas and had a convo with him he was crying and I wasn't far off it.

How can you trust a man who couldn't bring himself to vote for his own party yet he's standing on doorsteps in my constituency asking people to support him despite his leader Starmer backing the things he says he couldn't accept enough to give his own vote to

Extraordinary car-crash interview with Labours Rutherglen candidate:
❌Didn’t vote Labour at previous election
❌Accepts Brexit
❌Accepts two child cap
❌Accepts bedroom tax
❌Accepts migrant barges
❌Supports UK Labour policy on nuclear weapon renewal…
Of course he'll put Scotland at the heart of Britain, Scotland has all the oil, gas electricity and water he could ever need and all free for the taking. Wake TF up Scotland and let's use these resources to make our own people's lives easier instead of having them stolen.
Look at these guys at Edinburgh today. This is the way it should be Rangers and Celtic fans marching together. Football bigotry has no place in a progressive Scotland. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Sad to hear of the death of Winnie Ewing, a woman that I can recall from back when I was a young girl speaking of Scotland being free from WM rule, she inspired generations of young Scots to consider the idea of a normal independent Scotland, a true legend of the indy movement
Since it was discovered off Scotland’s shores, oil has helped to build cities and the economy.
But a climate emergency has been declared with a target to cut emissions as much as possible by 2045.
Lammy is not your friend no matter what rubbish he spouts , dont trust this bloke. He is unionist through and through.
Labour MP rules out indyref2, says Labour is categorically a Unionist party
BBC QuestionTime.. Jackie Baillie stated voters in "her area" don't support independence. In 2014 West Dunbartonshire voted 54%-46% for YES to independence. The following year, (2015) an 18,000 Labour held Westminster seat went to SNP by a 14,000 majority. In Jackie's "area ". 🙄
Just want to say to all the yoon trolls who are creaming their pants at Alex Salmond's predicament that the Indy movement is bigger than any political party or any individual. It is a movement of millions of Scots and we will not be deterred. We want independence and it's coming.
Jug lugs and his strumpet getting crowned (again) the day in Edinburgh so we Scots remember our place which is under his WM govts jackboot. Hope the good people of Edinburgh let him know exactly how we feel about the scrounging parasites.
