This is the last chance.

Anyone that follows my blogs or listens to my podcasts knows that I do not view an independence referendum as our best option for regaining our independence. However, as of today it appears to be the only option available to us. Much as many of us do not like it, the SNP is totally in Read more about This is the last chance.[…]

Begin The Campaign Now

There will be a UK General Election in 2024. Some people have managed to convince themselves it might happen in 2023.I have never bought into that as it just does not make political sense. The Tories have an 80 seat majority they have no need to renew their mandate before 2024. Those that believe after Read more about Begin The Campaign Now[…]

The Bargaining Chip. A Guest Post from Julie McAnulty

The Bargaining Chip – The Greens, the Budget and a Plebiscite –  Yesterday the SNP rejected the idea of a plebiscite at their National Assembly. This was disappointing, but not surprising to us at ISP. We still haven’t heard a good argument against the proposal; as we have been at pains to explain, it is a legitimate, democratic, internationally recognised means of expressing the will of the Scottish people. It offers a way out of the corner that we have boxed ourselves into with Section 30. And it would also take the tide of opinion at the flood, while there Read more about The Bargaining Chip.

The Pro Indy Media

Last night the magnificent Phantom Power had advanced screenings of his latest documentary Beyond Brexit. The quality and amount of content he has produced in favour of Scottish Independence is quite breathtaking. There can be no praise high enough for his contribution to the independence cause. I would also commend the ISP for their recent Read more about The Pro Indy Media[…]

The Narcissistic Neighbour

Everything about British Unionism is a lie. The entire concept was born in deceit and has continued on in the same manner. When the adherents to UK talk of the ‘Precious Union’ it is a lie. It should truthfully be referred to as the Precious English Empire. No matter how they try to dress it Read more about The Narcissistic Neighbour[…]
