The Anglo-state media are just beyond demented now. The question is, what are the parties for YES going to do about it? Continue the squabbling about who can identify as a man/woman? Throw some mud back and forth around our personal favourites in Alec, Humza, Nicola? We all have opinions. For example, Humza was not my choice for FM. Neither was the Alba lass. Not because of any dislike or other negative nonsense - I genuinely like the man - but simply because I felt we needed street fighters at this point in Scotland's journey, with an increasingly insane and rapacious Anglo-state. But he's now the FM, I'm not not going to support him. Indeed, I'll support him 100%. The point is, my opinion here doesn't matter. Winning our political freedom does. Do I think Alec Salmond was stitched up? Yes. Do I suspect he might feel let down by those he regarded as closest compadres? Yes. Do I think aspects of his personality probably enabled that? Probably. Do I care? No - not really - he was our best. And, in all honesty, my joint favourite Scots politician. With Nicola Sturgeon. Do I think Nicola Sturgeon has been stitched up? Yes. Do I suspect she might feel let down by people she once regarded as brothers/sisters in a single cause? Yes. Do I care? No - not really - she was, also, a superb FM. The barometer for both is easy - Westminster struggled with, and despised them both. That's what matters when you want to take the fight to an enemy like the media apparatus of the Anglo-state. From debate to interview to panel on enemy turf, when either walked away having easily dismissed Anglo-state hacks, that's what mattered to me. The movement wins. We all have differences. We've all got different opinions. And the YES movement has always has been a very broad church. We used to understand and accept that. The point is, politics and true democracy exist to enable those differences of opinion, no matter how passionate, to be laid out in front of the citizenry of our country... ...it's just that we don't actually have a free country to enjoy anything like democracy whilst this 'union' persists. The many arms of that Anglo-state actively interfere with our journey and, in the case of Scottish independence, wilfully manipulate our differences to attack the movement. Surely other people see this? Arguing in our own ranks about personalities or specific aspects of policy - right now - will only ever play into the hands of those very people who control mass communications and broadcasting. And that's not us. YESsers need to understand this. If the movement remains divided - a priority for the Anglo-state (I can assure you) then Scottish Independence is gone for decades, and potentially forever. If Labour get in, their #1 mission will be to defang the Scottish Parliament for Westminster, such that there's no real democratic mechanism to escape their clutches. But there is a way to slam-dunk the vile machinations of Westminster. It requires only this: - our leaders show some solidarity - they begin to work and act together - they do so with some aggression - they do so with a zero tolerance policy for this media landscape (refuse interviews, insist on parity in debates) Critically, the broader movement needs to challenge their media saturation with one voice. Harness the professional creatives and talent across the broader YES pool. Ideas and solutions. And never stop. Be relentless, as they are with us. Remember, they've got nothing but lies and fear. We've got truth. Namely the entirely normal wish for a democracy which reflects the wishes of our citizens - every time. Giving our people a voice on the small matters of...oh, I don't know: - the climate challenge - foreign relations - our economic prosperity - unwanted nukes on our soil - energy futures - genocide! - going to actual f*****g war! It took them 15-years to learn how to prise open and divide the YES movement. If we show solidarity, they will lose. They know this. That'd be a huge concern for them. In short, don't play ball - it's their game. What's the worst that can happen? They'll run a negative headline!?!🤣 If the Scottish Government presented a cure for cancer and a new technology that took us to Mars in a day, they'd run negative headlines anyway! There's literally nothing to lose here, their daily media vomit increasingly bears no resemblance to reality - just their own hateful space. And God knows, Anglo-state unionism truly draws some of the vilest, moronic characters into its ranks. Sectarian crazies. Orange order loons. Ex-BNP racist filth. They're all there. And, as we've just witnessed, their smear factory has grown legs - they'll happily collude to try and destroy YES politicians. We know this. They rifle through bins. They pitch tents. They doorstep our best. It's one rule for the vilest unionist politicians and establishment, and quite another for us. MI5 is a thing. British intelligence defending it's desired Anglo-state is a thing. So....decide. 1 - Fight each other and get nowhere. Or 2 - Drop the ego. Ditch the hubris. Let any anger you feel on whatever issue fall away. It's entirely meaningless without political independence. Prove me wrong!? There's plenty of time to fight it out in an independent Scotland, away from Westminster interference and their rancid media. Just think about that! Think about the nationwide parties as we wave ta-ta to nukes. Or when we give the staff of The 'Scottish' Daily Express a special heartfelt send-off. Or when we send the fracking magnates packing. Or when Scotland is heard on the genocide in Gaza and on so many other matters where we can do our bit to at least try and make the world a better place. That'd be...incredible. Wouldn't that all be worth it? I'm talking to you @TheSNPMedia @TheSNP @AlbaParty @ScottishGreens and would appeal to our entire movement. It might be a dream, but I'm not embarrassed to state it. Do our leaders have the focus, the imagination, to knock on the door of the other? What other way is there? Argue until Alba win an election...in 2040? 2045? Too late! Until the SNP magically attract every YES voter again...in 2040? Too late! We need independence within the next 5-years. Fight together, and let's get this over the f*****g line. #SNP #AlbaParty #Alba #ScottishGreens #ScottishIndependence2024 #TheUnionIsaLie #DissolveTheUnion
