So her abuse caused her death! The abusers should be charged with at least manslaughter shouldn't they.

Wake up UK, to creeping privatisation. This is what private health care will do to your lovely NHS. They will suck it dry.

My favourite refereeing call was awarding itoge a turn over for jumping over the top of a ruck literately only supporting his weight with a handstand to then get the ball. Baffling

Go and fight for Ukraine. It's easy sitting back and saying the killing should continue. Don't you think?

I'm fed up with the EU, uncontrollable immigration and woke nonsense. It's time for change. Bring it all on!

There's more to rugby than scrums? We keep getting bullied up front. If we can't get big enough players then we need to play differently.

Russia was provoked into invading Ukraine. There's been no word on a peace deal yet. People who want fighting to continue should be happy to either go themselves to fight or send family members. You happy for that to happen or it's okay because it's Russian and Ukrainian people being killed?

Scotland were worse than awful. Outplayed everywhere and out muscled once again. They didn't even put up a good fight. There can be no excuse for getting stuck in and being super aggressive. Is there?
They need to go super fast. Back 5 should be super mobile. Play high tempo aggressive game. No?

How do you feel about them wanting peace in Ukraine? You against that?
Men in women's sports?

The real "benefit" cheats are the wealthy. They employ ยฃ1k per hour accountants to use shell companies and offshore accounts so they can avoid paying their fair share of tax. No wonder there's nothing left and nothing works anymore. The rich don't care they can afford to live extravagantly.

This is one for @thesnp.bsky.social members.
We need to be at branch meetings shouting about #ScottishIndependence and how vital it is.
We also need to loudly urge all SNP politicians and councillors to join BlueSky and to stop enabling Space Karen's HellXcape.

Pay of Barclays CEO more than doubles to ยฃ10.5m as profits soar Other top performers at group share ยฃ1.9bn bonus pool while 90,000 employees awarded ยฃ500 each in shares

Barclays CEO pay up from ยฃ4.3m to ยฃ10.5m.

Real average pay of UK workers unchanged since 2008.

Govts tell workers pay rises are inflationary, but that doesn't apply to exec pay, dividends, exec pay, share buybacks.

Their profiteering is our inflation and poverty.

It is class war.

It's not no change. It's worse than no change. Winter fuel payment for example.

Ineos - a private company:

Owns MU. Labour builds them a stadium.โœ…
Setting up a Belgium plant. Labour helping them do it.โœ…
Closing oil producing Scotlandโ€™s only refinery. Labour says can do nothing. Because itโ€™s private company.

See how it works now?

You have to ask why unionists are happy to take all that the Scottish government gives, basically for granted, Yet moan their fucking arses off at the mere suggestion that Scotland could be a free & Independent country with the powers to do much more & go even further to building a fairer society.
