Sunak - “Our energy strategy shows that oil and gas are vital to Scotland and with the new licences will provide hundreds of jobs for the people who live here. Oh by the way my family have just signed a billion dollar deal with BP which is just a coincidence.”
FFS! How come there are still people in Scotland voting for this vile corrupt Tory government! #independence Are you yes yet?
The @BBC are an absolute disgrace as a news organisation these days. The UK government announce 100 new oil and gas licenses and this is the bollocks the BBC lead the article with
#POLL: Digital giants Google and Meta — Facebook and Instagram’s parent company — have long been threatening to block news to users in Canada in response to Bill C-18, the Online News Act.
I get that 'vote SNP - it's less bad than the alternative' is a difficult sell sometimes, but #SNP/ #Green is the best route to #Scottish#Independence, SNP fragments to it's constituent parts and we all get to vote for whom we want.... And be part of a proper grown up, democratic, left leaning, Nordic, European country. #KeepTheFaith#ScottishIndependence#ToriesOut#RedToriesOut
On this day in 1973, the Bahamas gained their independence from the U.K. The colonizer Christopher Columbus landed on their shores nearly 500 years prior (in 1492), renamed the islands, and introduced a population of enslaved Africans. Their descendants now constitute 85% of the population.
The Bahamas officially marked the 50th anniversary of Independence in front of a huge crowd at Clifford Park on Sunday night into Monday morning – culminating in a spectacular fireworks display.

The #US Was Founded on Stolen #Indigenous Land—This #July4, Let’s Commit to Returning It
Ah, the Fourth of July. Who doesn't love a good parade, some tasty barbecue, and a stirring fireworks display? The only problem with all that, though, is that it can distract from an essential truth about this nation’s birth: The US was founded on stolen Indigenous land.
But what is the meaning of #IndependenceDay for those whose land this country stole, those who were murdered and forced with brutal violence onto #reservations, those who were pushed from their holy places and denied their #freedom?
The Orcadian posted 3 days ago about #Orkney Council’s Leader seeking “alternative models of governance”. On Radio, James Stockan cited being let down by #Westminster & #Holyrood.
The alternative models cited were of crown dependency such as Isle of Man, Jersey, Guernsey or of the Faroe Islands within Denmark & also talked of exploring their nordic connection.
Today multiple papers have printed rubbish like this, it’s dismissive n attempts to humiliate those trying to fix our broken politics.
I long for #independence but you’d think for a nation that feels neglected by its central govt would do better in preventing the same apathy but a govt in #Holyrood feels just as far away & out of touch as #westminster.
The challenges & responsibilities of the islands’ councils heavily outweigh those of their mainland counterparts. Things like devolving a tourist tax to councils are minuscule in what is needed to equip those Govts in delivering for & retaining their residents. #politics
Marvel at how something as uncontroversial as a Scottish recycling scheme could become a constitutional bin fire🔥
Is Scotland's #DepositReturnScheme all washed up? Whatever, Westminster trying to derail a policy all 5 Holyrood Parties agreed on just makes it all the more imperative #Scotland🏴 regains it’s #independence
In the #Philippines, June is the #Independence month of the nation from the conqueror #Spain (Spaniards). The Philippines then was only the regions of Luzon and Visayas, and were under the control of Spain for 300 years.
There was also an anti-Spanish revolutionary secret society founded on January of 1982 called the «KKK».
What is the «KKK»?
The «KKK» (Baybayin-Tagalog: ᜃᜃᜃ), or «Katipunan» (Baybayin-Tagalog: ᜃᜆᜒᜉᜓᜈᜈ᜕), stands for «Kataástaasan Kagalang-galang na Katipunan ng̃ mg̃á Anak ng Bayan» or «Kataástaasang, Kagalanggalangang Katipunan ng̃ mg̃á Anak ng Bayan». It translates into English as the «Supreme and Honourable Association of the Children of the Nation».
(In Baybayin-Tagalog, it is written as: «ᜃᜆᜀᜐ᜔ᜆᜀᜐᜈ᜔ ᜃᜄᜎᜅ᜔ᜄᜎᜅ᜔ ᜈ ᜃᜆᜒᜉᜓᜈᜈ᜔ ᜈᜅ᜔ ᜋᜅ ᜀᜈᜃ᜔ ᜈᜅ᜔ ᜊᜌᜈ᜕» or «ᜃᜆᜀᜐ᜔ᜆᜀᜐᜅ᜔ ᜃᜄᜎᜅ᜔ᜄᜎᜅᜅ᜔ ᜃᜆᜒᜉᜓᜈᜈ᜔ ᜈᜅ᜔ ᜋᜅ ᜀᜈᜃ᜔ ᜈᜅ᜔ ᜊᜌᜈ᜕» respectively.)
Attached is the first flag of the «KKK» / «Katipunan».
Prof Richard Murphy absolutely hitting the nail on the head with chilling accuracy.
'I echo the words of Billy Connolly when saying so. He once said that he knew a great many words, but sometimes only “fucked” would do. I think that true on this occasion.'
