Routes to Independence with Graeme McCormick LLB
We all know we want independence - but how do we get there? What are the options?
In this episode, our guest Graeme McCormick shares a legal perspective on the various routes which could be on the table, including UDI, Section 30 orders, Dissolving the Union, plebiscite elections and more.
He also has some inspirational ideas for actions the Scottish government could take with its limited devolved powers that would be game changing for all Scottish citizens right now, as well as providing more than enough funding for the transition to an independent state.
Music: Inspired by Kevin MacLeod

how easily do Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries catch fire? 2. charge state
DANGER - DO NOT TRY AT HOME - SAFETY FIRST
A safety video showing just how easily these common Lithium Polymer batteries catch fire and explode. I do this so you don't have to.
These batteries are in phones, drones, cameras, laptops etc etc they are the standard small grey packs - it becomes quickly obvious why airlines and postoffices don't like them (the fire can burn through aluminium tubes)....these had puffed so although showing 4.2V carried little actual current but as can be seen it's more than enough to set fire to anything in your house after burning you and filling your lungs with toxic smoke.
As can be seen the critical aspect to LiPo safety with regards to physical damage is the charge state, charged batteries explode, discharged ones don't (the charged one could still boil water 5 mins afterwards).
When handling, storing or scrapping LiPo batteries ALWAYS discharge them first.
As we move into the Electron Age be very careful, 1 electron does little on its own but when you move loads of them they can deliver huge amounts of power.
and yes i mistakenly stored fully charged LiPo batteries for my drone when i moved house and it killed all 3 battery packs....over £120 made useless by laziness....discharge before storing or they puff and there's no way to vent afetr this, they are (were) knackered.

the Queen of England's Platinum Jubilee - alternate version
Nothing against her personally, I'm sure she is a great mother and granny to her offspring, she's certainly given them wealthy gifts.... as for her children I'd rather just not mention them eg PaedoPrince.
Prince Philip 1980: "when I die i'd like to come back as a deadly virus that could go some way to reduce the population of the planet" - slightly paraphrased but that's what he said, he died at the start of COVID19.
His friend Stanley, father of Boris "the cunting liar" Johnson has published books on population reduction in the 90s.... lovely people.
... yes we would be more than happy to seed a little sovereignty to the EU to ensure productive and prosperous trade rather than rule from Westminster.
Like any country can legally do, we'll use the English Pound (which we own 8.4% of) for the interim period whilst creating our own Central Bank.
(we can defer any Euro indefinitely)
If it prevents England invading us (we also own 8.4% of the army) we will join OTAN. This also allows us to move Trident to a more suitable location away from major population centers.
Our economy is in the region of £250billion per year, more than enough to support 6million people and eradicate poverty and homelessness.
Nicola Sturgeon is merely the person we've currently selected to organise the referendum. the SNP will not continue post-Indy as we will have a proper Parliament with proper politicians that actually represent us.
There's a good chance we'll vote to become a Republic but that's entirely up to Liz and Charlie - if they act properly then maybe, if they continue with the Tory bs then cheerio.
As current British citizens we own 8.4% of the entire British Empire/Commonwealth.
If English politicians want us to continue to supply them energy they will need to buck up their attitudes.
Happy Jubilee to the brain dead southern drones - there's a reason the yoons shout "no surrender", they can only surrender once and they've completely surrendered to Westminster corruption. If they don't like it they can move home to a country they feel more at home in (and live to see just exactly what the English actually think of them when they get bored trying to pretend)

Scottish National Anthem - Flower Of Scotland - 2022 updated version
I don't pretend to be the best singer but I think you'll get the point.
Oh flower o' Scotland when will we see yer like again
That fought and died for yer wee bit hill and glen
And stand against him proud Charlie`s army
And send him homeward tae think again
The hills are bare now and autumn leaves lie thick and still
O'er land that is lost now which those so dearly held
And stand against him proud Charlie`s army
And send him homeward tae think again
Those days are past now and in the past they must remain
But we can still rise now and be the nation again
That stand against him proud Charlie`s army
And send him homeward tae think again

how easily do Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries catch fire? 4. heat
A safety video showing just how easily these common Lithium Polymer batteries catch fire and explode. I do this so you don't have to.
These batteries are in phones, drones, cameras, laptops etc etc they are the standard small grey packs ...these had puffed (due to incorrect storage) so although showing 4.2V carried far less actual current. (and due to puffing gaps between plates unable to deliver a high "C").
(this is 1 cell from a 3S 2000mAh drone battery pack)
As can be seen it doesn't take long for even a low charge puffed LiPo to catch and sustain fire when exposed to heat. This was a cheap, poor quality, low heat basic plumbers blow torch. The burnt plates were still hot enough to scorch my welding gloves even after 5 minues - this is also why fire departments don't like them much, they stay hot enough to re-ignite or cause serious skin burns for many minutes after the flames are controlled. (i'm not trying it, well maybe if i find a dead animal, on skin but i suspect it may be hot enough to reach bone, certainly muscle...you'd feel that!)
The magic rule with LiPo: low charge = lower risk.
Additional - keep them away from heat regardless.
Other observations - they really stink when burning/burnt and the smell lingers on everything it comes in contact with. The cold vented gasses smell slightly sweet.

how easily do Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries catch fire? 1. physical damage

This was a small 3S 2000mAh drone battery pack - the first i destroyed as a test, the 2nd just took a couple of dull blows with the hammer and the 3rd was due to the intense heat from the 2nd (they could still boil water 3 mins afterwards).

how easily do Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries catch fire? 3. shorted
A safety video showing just how easily these common Lithium Polymer batteries catch fire and explode. I do this so you don't have to.
These batteries are in phones, drones, cameras, laptops etc etc they are the standard small grey packs ...these had puffed so although showing 4.2V carried far less actual current. (and due to puffing gaps between plates unable to deliver a high "C"). I used the small vice to bridge the contacts and hold the cell in place.
(these are 1 cell from a 3S 2000mAh drone battery pack)
All that any I tried did was to get a bit puffier and a little warmer - i expect a fully charged healthy cell would puff and burst into flames if the short was sustained long enough. I gave up on these after 15minutes as they weren't even hot to the touch.
The magic rule with LiPo: low charge = low risk.
