“We’re making the switch because the analogue network that most home phones work on today is no longer fit for purpose and can’t keep up with the demands of modern life. That outdated network will be switched off for all phone providers by 2025. This is a once in a generation upgrade to ensure that everyone stays connected now and into the future. It offers lots of benefits and improved features over the existing system, like advanced spam call blocking.”

Our dedicated team of indy activists were speaking to people in Dumfries town centre on 26 August about how they felt about climate change.  They were asking folk to put a dot on the board to indicate whether they thought our climate is safer in the hands of the Westminster government or whether it would be safer in an indy Scotland.  As you can see the answer was overwhelmingly against Westminster.

It's time Scotland!

Come to our next meeting and help to plan future indy events round Dumfries.  Meetings in other places are also possible if there is enough interest.  But the next one we're holding will be on 21 September 2023 from 2.00 pm to 4.00 pm in the Aberdour Hotel, 16-20 Newall Terrace, Dumfries DG1 1LW.  All are very welcome.  Refreshments will be available.

Independence in the modern world. Wealthier, happier, fairer: why not Scotland? This paper sets out a detailed analysis of the UK’s performance across a range of economic and social indicators relative to that of ten European countries. It is the first in the 'Building a new Scotland' series, focusing on independence. A download link to the "supporting documents" is provided in the article in the top right corner.  Links to the further papers will be added as they are published. Here is the article:
