More than 300 years of London’s economic management of Scotland yet still the most impoverished and most ‘milked’ part of the UK

Scotland, above, the most impoverished part of the UK, and yet:

News you won’t hear – Scotland hits highest renewable electricity generation figure EVER after 19 years of giving nearly a quarter of a million GWh, worth £60 billion, to England
Scotland produces 5-6 times more gas than it consumes annually, making it a net exporter.
8% of UKthe population but 16% of the meat exports – 8% of the UK population but 31% of total UK food and drink exports

    You know I have lived in Scotland a long time longer than I lived in NE England where I grew up, and we spent day trips in Scotland when my poor parents could afford it. Loved it.
    My view is that the Scottish people are warm, kind and generous. However, get on the wrong side of them, say a wrong word and, ooft! That’s the end of that, grudges galore, no offense, and maybe I am just an argumentative take no prisoners type as well. :-/
    So is that due to being undermined, belittled and admonished, I don’t know, but we need unity among independence activists, bloggers, friends, when not in a huff, and countrypeople! 🙂

    I feel so attached to Scotland and yet so sorry for Scotland, it’s a beautiful country, that has been so stamped on and stolen from hugely, by the English colonists.

    Let’s hope there’s no chance of any chink in the armour for any division among those who just want their country back…an independent civic, internationalist Scottish country.
    Saor Alba.
