Leah the BIGGEST problem we have is the MEDIA, if Scotland had an honest media we would have been independent in 2014, or even before that if we had politicians who genuinely believed in Scots SOVEREIGNTY, unfortunately we have neither , we have politicians who have never challenged the media for their lies and misinformation , even when they are engaged in live interviews they allow the interviewer to spout BLATANT lies and misinformation without the merest hint of challenge, those same politicians have been very intermittently talking about Scots SOVEREIGNTY but that is all that they do (TALK!!!) and even when they do raise the issue it is not about OUR Sovereignty it is about their Sovereignty, as was highlighted and exemplified by Sara's talk at the first ALBA conference , the membership were ecstatic and excited by her announcements but Alex Salmond obviously felt threatened by her honesty and determination that the Scots PEOPLE are SOVEREIGN so consequently Sara ,SALVO.SSRG,Liberation.Scot , must be sidelined and ignored
Even National Public Radio (NPR) and PBS (Public Broadcasting System) in the US have been taken over by corporate donors like Google, the Gates Foundation, Pfizer, weapons mfr Lockheed Martin, etc., who dictate the news and its spin. It's fascism as far as I understand the term - a melding of corporate and government power.
You're right, which is why the media wasn't devolved to Scotland and we're stuck with the BBC and unionist tripe. Blair knew the power of an independent media, which doesn't exist anywhere in the UK as far as I know. The US lamestream media has also lost its independence and is controlled by corporate interests who are entwined with the US government and security state.
If we were organised there would an immediate response, to this extremist nonsense.
Such as, "Rishi Sunak brands BNP and England First as extremist." (The break up of the UK is under threat from both)
He/they would have to deal with a subject that they would prefer to leave in the shadows, or ignore it and risk loosing votes from that right wing faction.
Yes. The Scottish administration under the SNP should have had a full-time rebuttal service to rebut the constant lies we're fed by the You Kay media. They should also have ditched GERS and so many other things but are, sadly, a colonial administration, a creature ultimately of Westminster, so have done none of these things to educate Scots about the reality of their situation.

Colonial cultural assimilation explains a lot, and not just for pro-Union Scots.
