Job, guest slot, job at BBC Scotland awaits. 'Call Jackie' anybody? Imagine that mad harpie wardering about Colonial Quay with a phone on a stick summoning the Unionist MJoon Howlers to phone in.

The worlds in outrage at Iran closing the Hormuz Strait to traffic. But not one word from them regarding Israel closing the border crossings to Gaza

Will Trump take any notice to the Gulf States concerns? Nope!
Russia empowered and wins in Ukraine.
Israel's empowerment fulfils the Zionist project of a Greater Israel due to the Gulf State economies break down together with their society.

BeSo even if America and it all too willing UK do break the Gulf of Hurmuz blockade. The Gulf States will not be producing anything to load on the tankers, as Iran does to them what the USA did to them.
be in no doubt the Gulf State leaders have had that fact bluntly put to them by Iran.

Donald Trump has threatened to destroy it if the Gulf of Hurmuz in not opened up to traffic and Irans drops it's blockade.
So what would Iran do? destroy the Gulf States oil production and storage facilities just as the Americans did to theirs.

Would not be so sure! whether thats Air, Land or Sea. It's 'For king and country' whatever the rank. Exemplified by all 3 services antics at Ibrox and the associated Union Jackery.
From personal interaction they are right behind Israel and not shy about letting folk know where they stand.

On the contrary, the UK military are chomping at the bit to support the UK closest strategic allies in their endeavours to acheive a greater Israel. To do that they need UK military casualties to justify ging in with Israel and the USA which they have wanted to do from the start.
Not in my name!

So there are discussions taking place to form a coalition of naval ships to escort tankers through the Gulf of Hurmuz blockaded due to the Israel/USA attack on Iran supported logistically by the UK.
Israel / USA require mission creep from other countries and this is it in action.

These healthcare providers private and corporate shareholders are also donors to the Labour Party and Conservative Party to cover their bases.
So it's a case of them giving these party's a kickback on the increased dividends from more involvement and money extraction from the NHS

It is derived from a TACK training module on presentation of information in a structured way in the 1970's. It got taken up as a standard by HR departments and cascaded into society from there.

That is why he said it so the election campaign starts with a SNPBAD - oh very bad as bad as bad as bad can be, oh so bad, you would not believe how bad the SNP are, bad bad bad bad bad and on and on.

Sadly there are plenty of Labour Party members that are in your union backstabbing, betraying their way up the party structure using your Union as a stepping stone and platform to do it.
Seen by the public as no more than a gesture, it has to be no half measures to be credible.
Cut all funding.

The collapse of Scottish food exports is no accident.
By decimating the market not only does it remove 'Scottish' as a quality brand name and therefore a product premium.
It makes these businesses unviable and therefore open to buyout at market crash prices.

My gosh. The Israeli Defense Minister also openly says here that the role of the Israeli military's legal system is "to protect and safeguard" soldiers — not to hold them accountable, for instance, when they rape someone on camera:

For goodness' sake, Farrukh give yourself a shake.
Scottish Water is not privatised, it is a pubic utility an asset of the Scottish people with no shareholders or dividends.
You have 'English Exceptionalism' namely equating England=GB=UK means one of the same thing.
Your making an arse of yourself

If Stephen Flynn does become leader in the future suspect it wil herald in a new generation and a fresh aspect on the way ahead. His deputy will be a critical choice to be a foil to his style.

Erin Banco on X: "SCOOP: U.S. intelligence indicates that Iran's leadership is still largely intact and is not at risk of imminent collapse after nearly two weeks of relentless U.S. and Israeli bombardment, per sources briefed. w/@JonathanLanday https://t.co/02kwMBgUKG" / X SCOOP: U.S. intelligence indicates that Iran's leadership is still largely intact and is not at risk of imminent collapse after nearly two weeks of relentless U.S. and Israeli bombardment, per sources briefed. w/@JonathanLanday https://t.co/02kwMBgUKG

1/ News that the Iranian regime is proving more resilient than expected highlights its unusual governing structure as a 'polydictatorship'. In many ways, it was designed from the ground up to resist regime change. ⬇️

It has to be a reckoning by the SNP regarding the Union
What has been commented is exactly the UK Unionist Establishments game plan. Be obstreperous, contemptible, condescending, arrogant in saying No to Scottish democracy. Sit back and wait for infighting or giving up

Care to set out your reasoning that made you come to that conclusion? Hopefully there can be a meaningful and respectful exchange of views and counterpoints in both directions.

That is why it will most likely to be incorporated into a unified Health Service UK wide so it is a more marketable product to be put out to tender. With the bonus of the uppity jocks' outrage getting short, abusive no! suck it up. Knowing it will go down well with the English voter.

What the UK Government will do if it is judged it will go down well with the English electorate (the voter segment that wins general elections)
1. Bring Scottish NHS into one UK wide, one size fits all post NHS health service.
2. Privatize Scottish Water the last big public utility treasury casher.

Picture shows augmented image of Keir Starmer holding a folder which reads: TOP SECRET. Labour’s plan to undermine the Scottish Parliament. “Even when devolved governments may oppose this.”

So much for Labour’s promises to respect the Scottish Parliament.

Only the SNP will always stand up for Scotland and protect our Parliament.
