Scottish European. Pro Scottish independence. Probably woke. Hates people who use 'woke' as a pejorative. Loves people who can crowbar words like 'pejorative' into their social media profiles.

Luckily, in Scotland, we're part of the United Kingdom, so we can put our faith in people a lot cleverer than us.

No matter who's in charge, you don't have to worry.

Away in a tower
His bare feet all red
Little lord John McLane
Leaves terrorists 4 dead.

Breaks necks ina staircase
Ties a hose round his waist
Jumps out ofthe building
& crawl through the vents

He'll take their machine gun
Make the bad guys all pay
Drop Hans frm the top floor
& shout Yippee Kay-ay

London: 7ยฐC - Pitlochry: -2ยฐC
Yet the person freezing in Pitlochry pays more for electricity โ€” electricity generated in their own town.
Meanwhile, London, which produces almost none, pays less.
This isnโ€™t just unfair. Itโ€™s exploitation. And itโ€™s happening in Scotland every single day.

Listening to this budget all I can hear is Reeves doing what every other English MP does and that is to throw sarcasm and hatred towards the our Scottish Gov. She states she will give Scotland money! Bloody cheek we give them money and get a pittance back. No other country is given this attitude.

Worse than that they're refusing to even consider rejoining the EU, have abandoned promises to renationalise the utilities and are treating the financial sector as if it's the only industry that matters. They're basically Thatcherites.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.

They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.

Don't fall for it.

Billie Eilish asked an important question: "If youโ€™re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire?"

There are FIVE ways to accumulate a billion dollars:

1) Profiting from a monopoly
2) Insider-trading
3) Political payoffs
4) Fraud
5) Inheritance

Billionaires are the result of a failed system.

Starmerโ€™s anti-asylum policies show how utterly clueless he is about the right-wing mediaโ€™s role in politics.

Heโ€™s trying to fix a โ€œproblemโ€ contrived by Farage, GB News and The Telegraph. Heโ€™ll never win, because ultimately heโ€™s fighting a ghost โ€“ heโ€™s fighting something that doesnโ€™t really exist

Tesla shareholders approve $1 trillion pay package for Musk | CNN Business Tesla shareholders approved a pay package on Thursday that could make CEO Elon Musk, already the worldโ€™s richest person, the worldโ€™s first trillionaire.

Proof that no matter how obscenely wealthy they are, the greed of the super-rich can never be satiated. No one 'earns' a billion never mind a trillion.

Absolutely insane.

Labour would have purged and smeared someone like Zohran Mamdani.

Wes Streeting's politics align far more closely with Andrew Cuomo.

The lessons from Mamdani are about how to defeat both the right - and the bankrupt "centre".
