Almost unreported by BiBiC this morning that Shabana Mahmood Home Secretary has banned student visas from Afghanistan, Myanmar, Sudan & Cameroon. These are war-torn countries where talented & ambitious young people are keen to escape from to build a new life. Desperate young folk blocked by Labour.

There’s some comfort to be had that uber yoon Kaye Adam’s is no longer spouting her biased propaganda from Pacific Quay. Glenn Campbell and Martin Gissler are among the worst that’s left.

US-Israeli strikes on Iran put China’s energy security at risk. Beijing has strongly condemned the joint US-Israeli attacks targeting Iran’s leadership and its infrastructure. As the main buyer of Iranian oil & a key strategic partner, China must now secure its own energy supply.

Hearing all over BiBiC radio about how ‘Iran wants to destroy Israel’. Yet Israel enjoys the protection of the USA like no other state. What is clear is that Israel certainly has wiped Gaza off the face of the Earth & is currently demolishing Tehran.

Not sure Trump’s USA would be there for the UK if we were attacked. From my point of view I don’t feel safer or more secure with Trump in The White House.
And I would like to see an economist quantify the cost to Scotland & the UK economy of the Trump administration so far. How about it @Strath_FAI?

Legal semantic gymnastics by Starmer to back-track from his initial decision. Now called out by Trump.
A ‘defensive’ missile destroying lives & limbs & minds is just as nasty an ‘offensive’ missile destroying lives, limbs & minds. Macron & Sanchez have both called out this war as *illegal*.

Starmer’s distinction between ‘defensive’ & ‘offensive’ is rather obvious sophistry & semantics.
A dishonest lawyer’s con on the public to disguise the fact that UKG now doing what Trump wants as an Israeli/US proxy.
Trump is talking about a ‘big-strike’ on Iran coming: that’ll be ‘defensive’ then?

So as the oil price soars, Russian oil is now much more valuable. India & China are switching to Russian Oil supplies as Middle East supplies dry up, & this will mean a massive boost to the Russian economy to fund their war against Ukraine. Genius.

I managed a whole 1 minute of BBC Radio Scotland today before switching elsewhere.
Unserious, tabloid, trivia, amateur.
Certainly if your brain is switched off & you’re content to be powerless, buffeted in ignorance, then this is the station for you.
In Scottish terms, this is a national disgrace.

Why do English views matter more than Scottish ones? As we saw in Brexit, driven thru with English votes, & Starmer’s block on our Right to Decide our Future - Scots’ views are second class & don’t count.
Some democracy eh?

Anas Sarwar is a liar who will tell Scots any untruth to get power. He’s a charlatan who cannot be trusted. Fundmentally he lacks moral decency & has a tenuous relationship with truth. Sarwar is yet another shyster politician who doesn’t have our interests as his primary aim.

Unionist parties & media courtesans constantly repeat lies about Scotland: ‘too wee, too poor & too stupid’. They control the media for their message.
Their oft-repeated lies aim to erode our self-confidence & create a fake-reality, designed to stop people in Scotland choosing independence.
