Unionists will tell you “we’re one people now” and call it normal. But it isn’t normal - it’s marketing. Westminster has spent centuries running what I like to call “The Great British Marketing Scheme”, designed to make you forget Scotland ever stood on its own two feet. Here’s how they do it: 1. Great British Food Our salmon and whisky are world famous. But under Westminster campaigns, they’re sold abroad as “Great British Salmon” and “Great British Whisky”. The Union Jack gets stamped over Scottish lochs and distilleries so the world thinks it’s England’s brand. 2. The “GREAT” Britain Campaign Launched in 2011, it’s the biggest UK marketing push ever. Edinburgh castles, Highland games, whisky, golf, bagpipes - all packaged as “Britain”. Scotland isn’t shown as a country, just a colourful region of Brand UK. 3. Team GB In football and rugby, Scotland fields its own teams. But in the Olympics? We’re forced into Team GB. The Saltire vanishes while Union flags fill the cameras. Generations are trained to think “British” first, Scottish second. 4. British History Schoolbooks talk about the “British Enlightenment” and the “shared island story”. Our thinkers, our battles, our literature, even our independence struggles rewritten as a subchapter of British history. 5. Flags on Your Shopping Post-Brexit, Union Jacks appeared on everything from strawberries to sausages. Even Scottish-grown food gets a London label. That’s not patriotism, it’s propaganda you eat for breakfast. 💡 The point? This isn’t about pride or unity. It’s about erasure. A slow Gleichschaltung - making Scottish identity feel small, and “British” feel natural. Independence isn’t just about money or politics. It’s about breaking the marketing circuit that’s told us for 300 years we’re only a region, never a nation.

Scotland has (at least) 25% of Europe’s wind power potential yet pays the highest bills in the UK Independence = keep the energy here What are your thoughts on how we produce our energy, and what we should do with it? Let us know in the comments
