Scotland and it's history. Independence is normal. Brexit is an ongoing disaster. Borderer. Celtic. Doing my bit for wildlife. (Profile pic; WW1 Scottish/French Auld Alliance remembrance)

I would have thought that of all places the RBL had a need for promoting diversity and inclusion for it's clients.

No free bus passes for under 22s, says goverment The Commons Transport Committee recommended scrapping bus fares for young people in August.

Second class England

No free bus passes for under 22s in England

Under 21s don't get full minimum wage; pay rent, food, groceries, transport, tax, NIC at full rate.

Scotland: 5- 22yr olds and over 60 get free bus travel, England at 66 rising to 67.

No uni fees, prescription charges in Scotland.

What life will be like for Andrew as a commoner Former Duke of York will only have his dogs, household staff and the whistling of the wind to keep him company

The Andrew, formerly known as Prince, will only have his dogs, horses, domestic staff, the local gulf club, and the vast Sandringham estate to keep him company.

Pray for him.

The fall of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is no fall at all.

It comes ELEVEN years too late and has only happened as a damage limitation exercise.

We need to start having a grown up conversation about monarchy... and I'm starting it here.

Wall Street Journal headline and subhead from 30 October 2025:

Hezbollah Is Rearming, Putting Cease-Fire at Risk
Israel is losing patience as the Lebanese militant group restocks rockets, antitank missiles and artillery

Wall Street Journal headline and subhead from 30 October 2025: Hezbollah Is Rearming, Putting Cease-Fire at Risk Israel is losing patience as the Lebanese militant group restocks rockets, antitank missiles and artillery

Israel has bombed Lebanon nearly every day, often multiple times a day, since the ceasefire *they agreed to* in Nov '24. Beirut has not retaliated. Hezbollah maybe retaliated one time. Now the WSJ runs this bullshit as the IDF is ramping up its new invasion plan. Textbook manufacturing consent.

Dear Blueskyer's, am I wasting my time informing you of seismic changes to the entire critical infrastructure of the UK post-Brexit? Changes wrought by the Tories, by Labour, and with Reform UK's full backing.

Similar set up here. And yet we're facing the prospect of new super pylons running through the rural Borders landscape to ship our green energy South.

X is a cesspit led by an unhinged billionaire who is desperately trying to stir up civil war in Britain.

Nobody with any sense or decency should be there.

No organisations, government departments, or politicians should be there.

Everyone who is, is enabling this monster.

Why the banking industry is not a paragon of free markets, efficiency, or honesty Despite making record profits and paying record returns to shareholders it resents paying taxes.

Contrary to the PR hype the UK banking industry is not a paragon of free markets, efficiency, or honesty.

It is scandal-ridden. Can you name a pristine bank?

Govts shower subsidies and favours upon the industry in the hope that it will deliver economic renaissance. It never has.

This story is a giant fabrication. The travel and subsistence cost was ยฃ23000. The salary costs were on top of that, payable whether the employees were in Scotland or Turkey.

The Scottish Government should direct this all to Westminster.

The Deposit Return Scheme has been a massive success in Ireland. Scotland was 100% correct, again.

We badly need Scottish Independence.
