I want Scotland to be a modern, independent democracy in the EU. proportional representation and a written constitution are essential

That question! 10,000 outstanding warrants he said. He didn't say how long it took for those numbers to accrue. Was it years? decades? all time? As ever big numbers, no context. Some will have absconded abroad, some might be dead, some will have changed identity.

How they warbled about Wilders' election and then shut up when he became part of a coalition but had no role whatsoever in government. Coalition collapsed, election held, right pushed back. PR is quickly self-correcting. I wish we had it here.

She's a young woman who has spent the last decade or so on her first choice of career and is now changing direction. Perhaps, by the end of her life, she will be better known as a performer. Who knows?

Bear in mind that The Times is a Murdoch owned newspaper.

Did you know that Warren Hastings, who was impeached in Parliament over the conduct of BEIC and his part in it, was a relative of Jane Austen on her mother's side. He was found not guilty after many years but he was financially ruined.

And he should note that there are many functions needed in governance now, that were not needed then. A much bigger population, too. Consistently, it is shown that public bodies spend less resources on admin when compared to private enterprises. Also, John Company was despised by many at the time.

It didn't produce electricity except for a very short time in the 1990s. It was an experimental fast reactor which did not produce the hoped-for results.

In case you missed it ...
These are the six tests Keir Starmer once said a Brexit deal must fulfil. He now supports a Brexit that fulfils none of them.

Scotland has the highest proportion of college students - 1.6m in England, 218k in Scotland, 127k in Wales, 37k in N.Ireland.

Completion rates for apprenticeships show: England 53%, Wales 66%, N.Ireland 48%, Scotland 70-80 % for much of the last decade.

And no tuition fees!

I hate to pull the immigrant card, but as an immigrant, it feels awful when elected MPs say I β€˜need to go home’ and propose stripping me and all other immigrants of all our legal rights to live here. No, anywhere immigrants move is their home. The UK is my home.

As always, in areas with the least experience of living in a diverse community, people have the most fearful attitudes. Ironically, they are also the areas that most need population growth and the skills migrants can bring.

British Police "We are going to ban Football Hooligans to protect the public."

Media "Noooo you can't ban them they are ISRAELI football hooligans."

If it was a Muslim Team, the 'Press' would be having a field day. You're not anti semitic, if you think the Tel Aviv fans should banned.

In the UK, we have a government who will complain about peaceful protests taking up valuable police resources while simultaneously complaining that the police shouldn't ban far right football hooligans with a history of violence and disruption from attending a match.

17.10.2025 14:41 β€” πŸ‘ 315    πŸ” 129    πŸ’¬ 4    πŸ“Œ 3

How has the government got itself into the position of standing up for Israeli football hooligans, while criminalising peaceful supporters of Palestine Action?

17.10.2025 14:38 β€” πŸ‘ 1019    πŸ” 364    πŸ’¬ 73    πŸ“Œ 54

Yeah, if Keir Starmer enables violence by hooligans, including attacks on local property or people, that'll do wonders for his popularity.

No 10 says talks happening β€˜at pace’ across government to lift ban on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans attending Aston Villa match – live Fans of Israeli football team Maccabi Tel Aviv banned from match at Aston Villa next month

BiBi has issued his orders to Starver......

Keir Starmer calls Aston Villa "antisemitic"!
YouTube video by Femi - F Politics! Keir Starmer calls Aston Villa "antisemitic"!

SERIOUSLY!?
Maccabi Tel Aviv fans were racially violent in Amsterdam last year!

They're not being banned from Aston Villa because they're Jewish.

They're being banned to avoid a race war on the streets of Birmingham!

Mixing the two IS ANTISEMITIC!

The fact Starmer has spoken up more for some foreign football hooligans than British citizens captured in international waters a few weeks ago speaks volumes

It's REALLY time for Scottish Independence.

The UK Establishment and Government is irredeemably fractured.

Labour, Reform UK, and Conservative are now all exactly the same.

Are there not large numbers of expensive houses in places like Belgravia and Knightsbridge that are not lived in, or rented but left empty and unmaintained because they are merely an item on a billionaire's property portfolio.

one of the things i hate about starmer is that he just doesn’t know when to shut the fuck up

the prime minister shouldn’t be commenting on this just like he shouldn’t be commenting on graham linehan. he’s forever giving his a right wing leg-humping opinion when he jus shouldn’t say anything at all
