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.

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 isnโt just unfair. Itโs exploitation. And itโs 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.

Congratulations #Scotland, see you at the World Cup.
With Scotland achieving a place in the world cup with that amazing performance last night against Denmark. Resulting in the nation and its people feeling that bit better about themselves and their country.
Our thoughts are with all those in the Scottish Unionist party's at this difficult time
Billie Eilish asked an important question: "If youโre 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.

Starmerโs anti-asylum policies show how utterly clueless he is about the right-wing mediaโs role in politics.
Heโs trying to fix a โproblemโ contrived by Farage, GB News and The Telegraph. Heโll never win, because ultimately heโs fighting a ghost โ heโs fighting something that doesnโt really exist
"Our journalists are not corrupt"
Aye, right!
In Scotland you serve up relentless and shameless propaganda every day.
At some point Nick Robinson et al might realise that their fawning over Boris Johnson for years wasnโt a good plan.

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".
