This struck me at the time, @JimSpenceDundee, but it stayed with me too, enough to come back to it this morning. Silent coup isn’t a rhetorical flourish. It’s the only honest way to describe what you see when you look at Scotland without blinking. And nothing exposed it more

Interesting effect tonight. Responses to some old posts popping up. Some flag run it's course perhaps?

The smell, sound and smoke of burnt gunpowder hanging over Easterhouse and the East End this night. Where the bureaucratic fun police still fear to tread....thank goodness.

@UK_Lad1275 @Veeeeeeegann @GaelicRoadSign Clue: less than 42%

@UK_Lad1275 @scotfax Not sure if the 'Silver Arsehole' was ever an actual currency...🤣

@UK_Lad1275 @scotfax Yet another childish and in this case historically illiterate insult then run away... Somewhat pathetic.

@UK_Lad1275 @yoonification21 @scotfax The status quo has served us very well over three centuries. There is no economic argument to change that currently. But if you have evidence otherwise, please dry your tears for terrorists you unaccountably empathise with and present said evidence...

Time for King Charles to visit Canada, where he is head of state and has every right to go whenever he wants. I have no doubt the welcome would be ecstatic. And very symbolic. Retweet if you agree.

https://t.co/VgalRAt0DD - As a lot of people are aware I suffered an ischemic stroke the other year and I have been trying to raise awareness to people. If you can, can you please spare 3 mins to fill out the attached form to help myself & @befast_stroke out? Thank you. 💜💜💜

@UK_Lad1275 Tumbleweed.....

@_thisisscotland Read the polls, check the by elections. It's over. Québec, Bavaria, Catalonia, Scotland. Get a job. Stop whining.

Blocking responses says it all.

Nae Fiyurwurks! What a miserable, joyless, grey place this yellow-green mush of a politically neo-puritan, sanctimonious, box ticking administration has turned my city into. For shame.

@johnwhi20764601 Tumbleweed....🤪🙄

@nats_tired @theSNP @JohnSwinney @ShonaRobison @JimFairlieLogie @_KateForbes All reputable analysis shows a devaluation on creation for a Scottish currency as the relative economic options are accounted for. This happened to Eire too when they floated. This alone will cause huge capital flight as people keep their savings and private assets in Sterling.

@nats_tired @theSNP @JohnSwinney @ShonaRobison @JimFairlieLogie @_KateForbes Its cost of living is higher and it suffered a civil war. After a century of 'independence' it still relies on us for defence and exports its brightest and best here. It has been bailed out twice economically in the past century. Why do you wish to make us like them?
