And you think this will change anything? You guys are rank amateurs and will achieve nothing. Here in Europe we’re laughing at what you’re doing. Unless circa 12 million of you are willing to cause disruption and havoc continuously over a sustained 6 to 12 months you will be ignored by your Gov.

Irregular protests change nothing. We know that in Europe. Civil unrest or long general strikes is what gets change. Circa 12 million American causing havoc continuously for months would be needed to get any impact. Americans protesting in Europe are told to fk off by locals and moved on by police.

The power of 3.5% doesn’t work like that. It has never worked where antiregime campaigns have attempted to change through irregular protest. You’d need around 12 million people in the USA doing something like mass noncooperation in a sustained way continuously for 18 months to make any difference.

... cost per unit would likely offset any financial argument that Westminster might make.

Scotland is a green energy powerhouse, and the use of green energy increases year on year.

It is Westminster keeping a measure of control of Scots.

I still say F*ck Westminster

We need independence now

This reeks of opportunism. Know the Tories are toast so are like rats jumping ship. Are there enough bigots and racists in the Shire who’ll vote for these grifters?

Yup. My just turned two year old grandson has his own mini library and every day we sit with him teaching him words and numbers from his books. He then sits himself reading aloud as best as he is able.

Janey was ahead of her time. I wish she was still alive to take advantage of this clown show in the USA. She’d have endless material

He’s single handedly trying to up the population in England

Great men don’t enable genocide, they simply don’t. But I hope treatment controls the disease as it’s nasty.

Prostrate cancer metastasised to the bone is not the same as bone cancer and is treated differently

Was your friend very elderly? Age does limit treatment

All cancers cause extreme fatigue which in turn does impact a person’s cognitive ability. That’s not to say it diminished his thought process or decision making, but it does account for reports of him being very tired and needing naps.
I hope treatment controls and quality of life is maintained.

Once it has spread, like his has, it is a different matter and different prognosis. The goal at this stage is to control the cancer and maintain quality of life. Hopefully his body responds favourably to treatment and he lives for many years to come

Ratcliffe lives in tax free Monaco. His stake in Man U is not in his name but owned by Ineos, whose debts are between five to six times larger than the company's annual earnings

America and Americans are weird. Worship celebrities, has-been and wannabe celebrities and ignore those who can actually make a difference.

There’s nothing sadder than seeing a 75 years old man on stage thinking he’s still got it (he hasn’t)

That prevents nothing. Mandatory voting only means turning out. It doesn’t mean valid ballot papers. Around 10% of the electorate refuse to vote and of the circa 90% that do it is estimated 20% spoil their ballot paper making it invalid.

It is no different to the USA of the 1800s when Andrew Jackson had a reputation as a demagogue who ignored the law when it suited him. And from the Jim Crow laws that were enforced from the 1880s to the 1960s. Nazism was developed in the early 1920s from Jim Crow laws.

The meaning of “scientist” is someone who systematically gathers and uses research and evidence, to make hypotheses and test them, to gain and share understanding and knowledge. Political scientists are very much scientists. It is an observational, not an experimental science. 🙄

He’ll be gone this time next year after Labour are destroyed in the 2026 English local elections and Welsh and Scottish parliament elections.

Labour in Scotland came 3rd in last Thursday’s bi-election in Clydebank Waterfront. The shock on their faces was something to see. How did Sarwar respond? By Friday he was promoting don’t vote Reform as SNP will win - nothing about what Labour will do for us. He’s howling at the moon.

Have I misjudged Morgan McSweeney? Is he, in fact, a double agent for Scottish Independence? Keep up the good work Morgan.

Water is privately owned only in England. Scotland, Wales and NI were not daft enough

My constituency got a new Lab MP last July. He’s yet to hold a consituency surgery because, wait for it……., he’s too busy doing his other job. I kid you not.

Keir Starmer is my MP. This is the letter I wrote to him today.

Subject: Island of Strangers?

Mr Starmer,

Let me tell you about this ‘stranger’.

Starmer is non too keen on Scots, Welsh or NIrish either. He’s a bigot who thinks he is superior to others

Same.

Not really. Americans, in general, are considered blowhards.

The Scottish Parliament had a grown up debate earlier this week and voted for the first stage.

People need to stop pointing at Farage when Labour’s woes are their own making.
