Why Is the UK Media Attacking Scotland More Than Usual?

The attacks feel more relentless, more coordinated, and frankly, more desperate.  


It’s no surprise that the UK media often criticises Scotland and its government, but lately, the negativity has gone into overdrive.

The attacks feel more relentless, more coordinated, and frankly, more desperate.  

So, why now?  

🔵 Could it be that the 2026 Holyrood election is on the horizon, and they fear another pro-independence majority?  

🔵 Could it be that the UK government - new or not - is already failing, just like the last one?
After years of UK economic decline, mismanagement, and reckless policies, the cracks are too big to hide.  

🔵 Could it be that Brexit, long sold as a success, is now undeniably harming the UK economy?  

🔵 Could it be that the promises made in 2014 to keep Scotland in the Union - better jobs, more powers, greater influence - never materialised?  
🔵 Could it be that UK leaders, instead of standing up for the people, are bowing to outside interests, failing to protect industries, services, and livelihoods?  

🔵 Could it be that Labour, despite their campaign promises, have abandoned the people already? Refusing to restore winter fuel payments, failing to cut energy bills, and now proposing cuts to disability benefits. 

Maybe the real reason for this sudden surge in anti-Scottish rhetoric is that the UK is failing at every level.

Support for independence is rising, not because of some grand conspiracy, but because Scotland is looking for a way out of a broken system.

Instead of asking why Scots are turning away from Westminster, the media and unionist politicians attack Scotland for outperforming the rest of the UK in key areas.  

This isn’t just bitter - it’s counterproductive. If they truly wanted Scotland to stay, they would focus on fixing the UK, not trying to drag Scotland down.

A fairer, more prosperous UK would give Scotland a real choice. Instead, their strategy is to undermine Scotland’s progress, proving once again why independence is the only real solution.

Cancel Trump's State Visit To Scotland

Beyond the Union: Scotland’s Future "From Devolution to Independence—What Comes Next?" Scotland Should Have the Right to Host State Visits The recent events at the White House, where the President of Ukraine was openly humiliated by the US President and his staff, have caused outrage across the world. Many global leaders and newspapers have condemned the way Ukraine’s leader was treated, with some even suggesting that the White House deliberately planned the spectacle to play out as it did. In response, the First Minister of Scotland described the incident as "a clear cause for deep concern, for shock, for anger." That’s a statement I fully agree with – this wasn’t just a diplomatic blunder, it was a public humiliation of a leader whose country is fighting for survival. Across the UK – and especially in Scotland – people are calling on the Prime Minister to cancel or at least postpone the planned UK state visit by the US President, Don...

Scotland Deserves a Say – We Can't Be Dragged Into Another War

The UK Must Let Scotland Decide  The war in Ukraine has gone on far too long. Both sides are suffering - people are dying, economies are struggling, and there’s no clear end in sight. At this point, it’s hard to see why a ceasefire and proper peace talks haven’t happened already. It’s in everyone’s best interests - Ukraine, Russia, and the rest of the world - to find a way out of this mess.   But here’s the problem : Russia won’t back down because doing so would be politically embarrassing for Putin. His entire image relies on strength and admitting failure isn’t an option. Ukraine, on the other hand, is stuck fighting for its survival. And instead of the world’s most powerful country pushing for peace, some are using the war as an opportunity to play games and boost their own egos - none more so than Donald Trump. Trump, Putin, and the Games They Play Let’s not kid ourselves - Trump’s interference in the Ukraine conflict isn’t about helping anyone...
