The sinister side to the BBC that Scotland can instantly recognise
No amount of news that creates doubt & failure of the idea that Britain will be allowed to undermine its greatness. That's why undermining Scotland & Wales & rubbishing those countries is very important to make England look good.

#Scotland First Minister John Swinney absolutely rules out changing SNP’s no #nuclear stance: ‘there is no way on this planet that I am going to change that policy’.
New nuclear “economic and environmental folly” that would lead to more expensive bills.

Scotland a country! Recognised across the world as such, in a variety of international competitions.

Dounreay nuclear power station last produced electricity 30+ years ago, yet decontamination is expected to last until the 2070s and cost £8Bn, with full decontamination of the site estimated to take more than 300 years. Now Westminster wants to build *more* nuclear power stations in Scotland.

To suggest that having lived a life so grim that even an English tribunal will grant you asylum, and to have somehow managed to get here at great risk to life, is a "golden ticket" is absolutely fucking contemptible. Shame on this so-called Labour Party.
