'The Government made the citizens so stupid they couldn't read, they couldn't write, they could barely talk. All they could do was believe the propaganda.' - George Orwell 1984

No even Orwell never imagined something as dystopian as 2026 USA.

Hey guess what.

True story.

The U.S. and Britain already overthrew the Iran government in 1953.

We placed a dictator in charge.

Who then terrorised the Iranian people for a quarter of a century.

The U.S. and Britain got 40% of their oil fields.

'Iranian' drone found in Cyprus wasn't from Iran.

Spain is leading the way declaring.

NO to violations of international law.
NO to the illusion that we can solve the world’s problems with bombs.
NO to repeating the mistakes of the past.
NO TO WAR.

Be more Spanish.

This, and many other great policies, need plastered over billboards across the country. Normal folk would applaud this if they knew and turn more ppl to SNP , and ultimately Independence.
Farage & Starmer have vile policies but get huge airplay & exposure. Let's show UK how it's done 👏

We are rolling out the £2 bus fare cap across the Highlands and Islands, delivering real savings. Just two examples:

📍 Wick-Inverness, £31 down to £2.
📍 Elgin-Inverness, £15.60 ➡️ £2.

And we are protecting free bus travel for under-22s, over-60s and disabled people.

Imagine if, instead of letting cheap renewables drive down prices, you decided to protect fossil fuel companies by pegging the cost of electricity to the most expensive (fossil fuel) source!

How corrupt would a government need to be to do that? Oh!

If Westerners Could Wrap Their Minds Around What War Really Is Reading by Tim Foley:

If Westerners Could Wrap Their Minds Around What War Really Is

We’ve never had the experience of seeing our child’s shredded body after a blast and thinking about how we’d carefully helped them dress that precious body for school just hours before.

"Unquestionably blindly following the Americans is, in my view, the wrong thing to do.. I'd pass legislation that said military action could be taken if.. the lawful case for it was made.. there was a viable objective &.. you got consent of the commons"

When's the vote, Keir?

UK will allow US to use bases to strike Iranian missile sites, says Starmer The prime minister says it remains the case that the UK will

UK allows US to use bases to strike Iranian missile sites.

UK getting sucked into illegal US war.

No UN mandate for regime change. The powerful running amok.

What if Russia copies the US and murders Ukrainian president?

There will be turmoil for generations. And Trump wants Nobel Peace Prize.

Private equity makes risky $1.1bn bet on hospice care Kinderhook’s acquisition of Enhabit comes with thin margins, heavy debt and increasing scrutiny

Private equity is buying hospices. What happens in the US will arrive here.

Palliative care and impending death is seen as a profit opportunity.

PE destroyed care homes and vets. Patient deaths have risen in PE owned hospitals and nursing homes.

UK handing more of the NHS to PE.

Scotland pays £14,000,000,000 in VAT, every year, to Westminster. We already have a Tourism Tax. Up a third, in just 5 years.

Scotland alone produces a third of all UK Food and Drink Exports and half of all renewable energy.

For any sensible Scot, there's not even an argument any more.

Why are these insects in the media so insistent on calling her an "imprisoned British socialite"?
See also "disgraced financier" for Epstein.
