Gotta love those Brexit benefits

I think we all know the answer to that one.

Would the Labour, Tory, LibDems and Reform parties - all registered in England - even exist in Scotland if it wasn't for funding from their head offices in England? #CuckooParties

Did you know that despite the impacts of covid and Westminster’s austerity, NHS Scotland still outperforms NHS England and NHS Wales on A&E waiting times, cancer mortality, number of GPs per person, and overall patient satisfaction?

True story, Word of Honor: Joseph Heller, an important and funny writer now dead, and | were at a party given by a billionaire on Shelter Island. | said, “Joe, how does it make you feel to know that our host only yesterday may have made more money than your novel ‘Catch-22" has earned in its entire history?” And Joe said, “I've got something he can never have." And | said, “What on earth could that be, Joe?" And Joe said, “The knowledge that I've got enough.” Not bad! Rest in peace!

BBC Scotland seem to have accidentally forgotten to report this good news from NHS Scotland. Funny that.

How the BBC works hard to keep the public misinformed about what the Scottish Government is doing. Bias by omission.

Those Brexit benefits just keep on coming. Border delays & price rises are looming.
Maybe we’ll reach those sunlit uplands one day. Or probably not.

Feel the respect. According to LNER, Edinburgh is really just North London. Yes, folks, that’s really how they think of us.
The colonial mindset is alive & well.

What we can expect once Farage is PM. This is the economic model he wants to adopt, & here’s the evidence that it doesn’t work.

Most people in Scotland want independence. Yet no England-based parties who field candidates for our elections (Reform Ltd, Labour, Conservatives, Lib Dems), and who control the British government, will even discuss it.

Do you see the democratic problem?

“If Keir Starmer actually had any respect for Scotland, our saltire and our democracy, he would stop denying our people the right to choose a future beyond the doom loop of broken, brexit britain."

Today, energy bills increase again across the UK.

Labour said they’d fix this - but on their watch, our energy bills are going up.

With independence, we can use our energy wealth to benefit people and bring bills down. That’s the fresh start Scotland needs. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country?

Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide.

It undermines police and the law.

I still think it’s backwards that every mass shooter owning an AR-15 is considered a right while their victims’ healthcare is considered a privilege.

Stop blaming migrants and tackle UK’s real problems, 100 charities tell home secretary A letter warns Shabana Mahmood that ‘targeting refugees will do nothing to tackle’ problems with housing and the NHS

Stop blaming migrants and tackle real problems, 100 charities tell UK Govt.

Govt follows Reform agenda, failed to develop effective counter narrative.

Migrants are vital part of economy, public services. Economic problems caused by inequality, austerity, privatisation, political corruption.

Anas Sarwar changes his opinions as often as Starmer does. It is impossible to take him as being sincere after lies about saving Grangemouth and supporting the WASPI women (amongst others).
I suspect that this is another example of exigency. Does he mean it? Yes, from the heart of his bottom.

Keir Starmer is asked how digitial IDs will cut down on people working illegally.

He can't say.

'We would welcome Scotland back into the EU with or without UK' Brexit is 'leaving behind an entire generation' of young people, according to a senior German politician who said Scotland would be welcomed back…

Follow the money.

Pointing out the truth is deemed malicious, especially if it’s the truth about someone who bangs on about free speech.

They cry “free speech” when it’s hate, violence, and lies. But the second we tell the truth or call them out, suddenly we’ve gone too far. That, my friends, is what you call selective outrage.

Arrested for telling the truth.

Facial recognition has been used at Scottish Indy marches, Notting Hill Carnival, Pro Palestine protests but was deemed unnecessary at London's Far Right march.....
What does this suggest to us?

Yet more confirmation that the BBC is deliberately biased in favour of Israel when it comes to reporting on events in Gaza. This time from someone who worked for the UK’s state propaganda outlet.

“If you can’t honor a man by quoting him directly because his own words seem disparaging to his legacy, then perhaps you shouldn’t try to honor him at all.” Watch my latest here: www.youtube.com/live/2Mv50KZ...

So the news in the UK seems to be:

Flags, flags and more flags.

CS Venkatakrishnan is Barclay’s CEO.

His pay has doubled to £10,500,000 a year, but he thinks your wages need to be frozen.

Look at him laughing at you.

Reform wants to scrap neutral civil service and hire anti-ECHR staff Richard Tice, the party’s deputy leader, also floats the idea of US-style political appointments for judges

Algebra of dictatorship.

Reform UK want a new dept for immigration staffed solely by people who agree with the party’s policies to leave the ECHR and implement mass deportations

How long before similar edicts apply to police, judges, academics?

Would the next road to Auschwitz go through Clacton?
