Disclosure - Are Refugees Welcome Here? As tensions over immigration rise, reporter Mark Daly meets people on both sides of an increasing divide.

Scottish Independence would solve ALL of this.

We'd be in control of Immigration, Taxes, The Welfare State, Tourism.
People would flood to Cheap Energy Scotland for the RIGHT reasons. We NEED people!

It's incredible that people driven to blind racism can't see the answer.

Scottish Independence.

If I've learned one thing with my new HP Z2 it's to get the cooling right. I don't do a lot of gaming but Sea Power NCMA can get the cpu to 100C despite the best heatsink I can fit in the case. Had to use Intel tuning utility to throttle it. RTX card is fine and runs much cooler than the old Quadro.

Never liked the E60's Dame Edna headlights :-)

E34s were just so far ahead of the competition at the time. Lovely cars. Best mate had a rare four wheel drive 525iX touring. Loads of guys at work had BMWs I found for them. Used to service them at lunchtime!

Had an E34 B10 3.5 for a while (B10 RED). There was a gorgeous red E92 B3S BiTurbo on my street a few weeks ago. Had a good blether with the owner and showed him my E30.

Mate bought one last month. In red. Yes I'm jealous. Never got round to watching series four, suppose I have to now!

Man contemplating standing on rake, with the words "vote Reform.."

It’s not where we come from that counts, it’s about where we’re going.

Great to meet Afghan Scots children at Maryhill Burgh Halls and hear a lovely rendition of Robert Burns.

The Act of Union is an act of gaslighting.

Guy turns up in the office with the DAT tape containing all the data from the vessel's latest job. DAT tape snaps in drive. Hey the tape broke, pass me the second copy you're supposed to make. Taxi for Aberdeen airport please......

Where are the optimistic Labour voters who had this fantasy vision that labour would pivot back to the left post election and they were just saying toryesque things to get elected.

I have a bridge and a heard of unicorns for sale.

Scotland supplies 50% of all the UK renewable energy and 33% of all UK Food and Drink Exports.

It's 2025.

Scotland, very unquestionably, isn't #bettertogether.

There's no rational argument, against Scottish Independence.

Scotland is BOOMING.

Whisky from newly reopened Scottish distillery crowned 'best in the world' It was described as "the pinnacle of quality".

We're not truthfully told how much Scotch Whisky there is in Scotland.

The UK Duty regime is absolutely ludicrous, 75%!

Could you imagine, launching a Product and being told, three-quarters of it will be Tax? Bonkers!

It's hampering growth, only a fool now doesn't want Scottish Independence.

John Major on Brexit.

Over 60cm of snow forecast on Cairngorm, fingers crossed!

Amazing how few folk know that Able Archer was a closer call than the Cuban Missile crisis. But at the time hardly anyone knew.

Muscatelli report: What will it take to grow Scotland's economy? Prof Anton Muscatelli's report calls for a range of reforms to planning, business rates and skills in Scotland.

The HUGE Elephant in the Room is, Scottish Independence.

Anton and Anas are DEFINITELY not looking at THE incredibly obvious way to grow the Scottish Economy!

VAT and Spirit Duty goes to England. Scotland is HALF UK renewable energy, and a THIRD of Food and Drink Exports!

Grow the economy?

Eh?

Drax still burning 250-year-old trees sourced from forests in Canada, experts say Exclusive: report by Stand.earth says subsidiary of power plant received truckloads of whole logs at biomass pellet sites

One thing to say: #AxeDrax

No. Cutting down trees, grinding them up, shipping them across the Atlantic and then burning them is NOT "green".

Centuries of overgrazing & muirburn for grouse moors mean Highland Scotland looks treeless & desolate. But it doesn't have to be this way. New film Scotland's Missing Forests went online y'day. Chuffed to see almost 10k views. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuTV... @chrisgpackham.bsky.social

A color photograph of the Lafayette-class, nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine USS James Madison underway at sea on the surface. The hull number 627 is painted in white on the starboard side of its sail.

A copy of a formerly Secret/Eyes Only cable dated November 3, 1974, from Deputy National Security Adviser Brent Scowcroft to National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger: “Have just received word from the Pentagon that one of our Poseidon submarines has just collided with a Soviet submarine. The SSBN James Madison was departing Holy Loch to take up station when it collided with a Soviet submarine waiting outside the port to take up trail. Both submarines surfaced and the Soviet boat subsequently submerged again. There is no report yet of the extent of damage. Will keep you posted. Warm Regards.”

Today in 1974, the missile submarine USS James Madison (SSBN-627) collided with a Soviet attack submarine in shallow waters as it departed the sub base at Holy Loch, Scotland, leaving a 9-foot scratch on the Madison’s hull. The United States did not report the accident to avoid embarrassing the UK.

That is an amazing road for a drive with a decent cafe at the far end. But not one for novice drivers or very low cars.

King Charles strips Andrew of prince title and ejects him from mansion Royal subject to ‘censures deemed necessary’ in sharp change of tone by Buckingham Palace

This is the Royal equivalent of the amputation of a gangrenous limb to stop the rest of The Firm getting infected.

An act of self-preservation.

If it was integrity, then they'd have booted Andrew out years ago.

They didn't.

Recorded crime in Scotland is at one of the lowest levels since 1974.

Police numbers are higher than when the SNP came into office.

And all that Anas Sarwar offers is empty rhetoric, hypocrisy and no solutions.

I present to you the Scottish Cops and how they treat certain Football fans ,I say certain as some Football Fans get treated better than others it depends what Team you support and Your Colour of top !!!! 1312 🤬

Dounreay waste particle 'most radioactive' find for three years The fragment has been categorised as "significant" and was found during monitoring work around the nuclear power plant, near Thurso.

If you're a bit silly, you probably don't realise, the UK Government uses Scotland, to dump and hide dodgy stuff.

Decrepit old Nuclear Power Stations and Weapons, Old and Rotting Nuclear Subs, from the 1970s.

Scotland has NO SAY, over ANYTHING.

Only a fool doesn't want Independent Scotland.
