Anti-women, anti-SNP, anti-Scotland. Praise for Scottish Govt’s Environment Secretary Gillian Martin - ignored by the ‘boys private club’ who run media & politics in London. Of course.
Well done. Was this all over the news?, never saw it once.

I don’t think that just releasing the Epstein files is enough anymore. I reckon the death of Epstein in custody now needs reinvestigated. There’s rot here that goes way beyond what most of us imagine

Lots of evidence that BBC Scotland reporting of Nicola Sturgeon when First Minister, was not impartial. Not only was it anti-SNP Scottish Govt & anti-Scotland, it was also classist & misogynistic. A smart working class woman who ran evidence-based effective govt was attacked relentlessly by BBCScot.

Blair moved the maritime border without consultation in 1999.
Labour suppressed the McCrone report.
Now Labour wants to build untried untested nuclear power stations in Scotland to power cities in England.
The only thing in their way is the Scottish Government’s devolved planning powers.

7. You can see this pressure working simultaneously in the same government’s astonishingly draconian anti-protest laws: piling yet more measures on top of the extreme punitive regime introduced by the Tories. Want to free up some prison places? Then stop banging up peaceful protesters.

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed
