Absolutely Leah. I am disgusted that Robertson was fraternizing with that Israeli deputy ambassador in ENGGBUK, especially when it was the SNP who called for a ceasefire vote at Westminster!

How disgraceful that he meet with this genocide enabler and, discuss Scotland's 'energy, tech and culture'. Culture? What on earth does that mean in relation to Israel, which should and must be kept at the end of a very very long pole. As an SNP member I don't care what excuse he uses this is not something that the population of Scotland wants to see, nor is it a good look for Scotland.

Scotland's energy is already taken by England, but just as I have been thinking lately, guess who else will be after Scotland's vast resources. Not a good look for the SNP, they will lose a lot of support for this. What will Robertson's campaign material will be in 2026 then...

Yes SNP need to concentrate on independence, securing sovereignty, and leaving no page unturned as to how to get that done. Get independence done Mr Swinney!

The SNP elite were brought under the wing of the colonial power long ago, and especially Swinney, Sturgeon and Robertson. Their purpose is to block independence, not to deliver it. This may not be so obvious to the less attentive, however postcolonial theory tells us this is precisely what happens to a dominant national party during the decolonization process:

Absolutely correct, Alf. I just hope that the next stage in the process is the collapse of the party that promises Independence but works against it. Sooner that happens the better!
