'Real Independence Supporters' say Happy Christmas & Hogmanay from London

Ahead of the last Scottish election, as a show of solidarity, I made a donation to all Yes parties. As a result, I get emails from these from time to time, including from Alba. Over Christmas and Hogmanay, two popped into my inbox within a few days of each other; first a Christmas message from Alba's Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh, followed by a Hogmanay message from party leader Alex Salmond. I clicked for a wee look on the first one when it arrived, and it caught my interest because I recognised the dress Tasmina was wearing as the one she’d had on in a shoe shop in London’s Mayfair just days before .

This can be seen clearly in the data (3). While the pandemic has masked what has been happening GDP-wise, the trend will be as indicated in (2); the decline in this closely correlating with the depopulation trend (3). Never in the history of human civilisation has an economy grown in the face of mass depopulation, particularly of young, skilled workers. The UK is now entering a long term economic decline that could only be arrested if depopulation is stopped, and by popular free will / free movement. The UK government may soon act to prevent people leaving, e.g. by re...
