The great Scottish Marxist John Maclean died of pneumonia on 30/11/1923 after giving a street lecture on Marxist economics:
"... my contention has always been that capitalism is rotten to its foundations, and must give place to a new society."

When you sing "and be a nation again!". Mean it! Don't be a fkn hypocrite. For us to truly cherish Saint Andrewβs compassion and courage, Scotland needs the powers that come with being a nation once more. Only then can we encourage and protect the values his values represent
#HappyStAndrewsDay
The saltire isnβt just a flag, itβs a reminder that we are an inclusive nation. Scotland may be small, but like Saint Andrew, it stands tall in compassion, toughness, and the will to help others. Thatβs why heβs the ideal patron saint.
#HappyStAndrewsDay
Scotland has always been a nation that helps others, whether through hospitality, solidarity in hard times, or standing up for justice. Saint Andrew, who gave his life for his beliefs, is the perfect symbol of that courage.
#HappyStAndrewsDay
Why Andrew? Because Scotland saw in him a mirror: a man who lived simply, cared deeply, and stood firm in faith. He embodied the compassion and toughness that define Scottish spirit.
#HappyStAndrewsDay
Legend says relics of Saint Andrew were brought to Fife in the year 732. The town of St Andrews became a spiritual heart of Scotland, and his cross, the saltire - still flies proudly on our flag.
#HappyStAndrewsDay
Enter Saint Andrew. A fisherman from Galilee, known for humility and kindness. He wasnβt a king or warrior, he was a helper, a teacher, someone who lifted others up. Thatβs why Scotland chose him.
#HappyStAndrewsDay
Scotlandβs history is one of resilience. From ancient clans to modern communities, this small nation has always punched above its weight. Our people are tough, compassionate, and fiercely protective of one another.
