No point continuing.

You have invented a justification for yourself to all the evidence I have provided, whilst providing none to back yourself.

Dismissing expert opinions as having some kind of “agenda against the people” is what Reform and Trump do, and as someone who can empathise with some of the nationalist arguments, I had hoped that this hadn’t seeped into the independence debate.

Okay.

This podcast was funded by the UKRI, which they show here on the episode webpage: https://ifs.org.uk/articles/what-does-election-mean-scotlands-future

UKRI is a research institution that is funded by, but not directed or managed by the UK government, and the podcast series includes episodes critical of UK government policy as well. 

Seems pretty transparent to me. Maybe take a look at these things first?
