Scotland depended a lot on EU money when Thatcher destroyed our industry- destroyed hope for many.
"Reform and the Conservatives, the engineers of Brexit, and the champions of the scorched earth policy that saw the UK quit all areas of EU cooperation, voted against the Bill. We don’t hear from either Tories or Reform that Brexit costs every British citizen over £1,300 a year, every year."

Why was it anti-American to wear mask in pandemic-subversive, treacherous- but not now?
In the budget discussions, Dems should refuse to fund ICE unless agents can’t wear masks, they must identify themselves and must read people their Miranda rights. Even with these conditions, ICE funding should be limited to border operations.
Stop further shootings.

This is the Portland Police Chief and he breaks down during a Press Conference regarding the shooting of two people yesterday in Portland by Federal Agents. If you’ve forgotten what it was like to have a member of law enforcement with integrity and compassion — let this man be a reminder.

Wise paediatricians don’t wear dry-clean only, have long-painted nails, very short skirts, tights which ladder; you’ll need to get down on your knees, avoid wees examining babies. blood destroying your shoes. Now everyone wears scrubs so much more sensible. Trousers more practical. Good USA import.

I’m not sure he likes white people much. It’s just harder to get support by bad-mouthing them all.
The White House Strategy document talks about civilisational erasure in Europe. Has anyone seen any signs of civilisation on the far-right? Has Trump displayed any signs of being civilised?
Of course what is really being referred to is a paranoid racist fear of the white race being exterminated.

I see Rowling as an enemy of all women.
What Elon Musk is doing to women protesting his humiliation of them = what TERFs do to trans people protesting their humiliation of them = what the pro-Genocide media does to those protesting against Israel's actions in Gaza.
'You Hate Free Speech' is the go-to Far Right smear every time a targeted group pushes back.
Would be great if headlines like this helped people understand that ugly tactic.

WM doesn’t think Scottish government should be informed about security. Foreign powers can post armed services in our country without our knowledge.
And this is why I don't trust the Greens, she knows defence is only reserved to WM, she should also know that Swinney has publicly stated, he at no time was informed of what was going on by WM.

How far Americans have fallen that an ally, one of the countries that has done NOTHING but support the US from WWII through 9/11, has an MP say "we will go to war to defend our citizens even though we know the Americans can come in & kill us all & take our country, but we hope they won't"

If someone uses "free speech" as a defence of non-consensual pornography, including child pornography, they are arguing in bad faith in favour of sex crimes, and should be described as such.
