Scottish independence supporter who wants a fair and kind society for my grandkids. We will never achieve this until we break the ties with Westminster. Rejoin EU. Golf, all animal welfare, and adoration of dogs.

Working at the moment on the 1930s, and wondering which of these three Kissinger might have been considered most to fit that category: FDR, Maynard Keynes or Hitler.
@jeremycliffe.bsky.social My money would be on Keynes - and so I think that Trump shouldn't be more than a catalyst for this change.

Kissinger called Trump "one of those figures in history who appears from time to time to mark the end of an era and to force it to give up its old pretences".
Perhaps Elon Musk is that figure for Europe in 2025: the continent's personified need to find a post-Atlanticist path.

Excellent article from Neil Wilson. What story is told, matters.
"By ensuring everyone who wants a job has one, we can stop funnelling unearned income to the wealthy and instead build a society where the labour market—not financial markets—stabilises the economy."

Would'nt it be great if we could devise a system where if you favoured staying the union over Independence, Then you would have TO PAY for all the things that Scotland delivers at no cost to it's citizens?

Yes, you read right. This is the Labour party's office leader in Scotland failing to support the Scottish Government because -get this- it isn't mitigating the impact of his own party's policy from Westminster "fast enough".
