Increasingly combustible Scottish former youngster, Linlithgow to Dunfermline, desperate to find evidence the world doesn’t become more FU with age. Escape from Westminster insanity would be a good start.

So either Labour need to ask candidates to step aside for the Greens to take on Reform....
Or actually bring in a fair democratic process where everyone's votes count equally.
It's time for Proportional Representation.

Why the banking industry is not a paragon of free markets, efficiency, or honesty
Despite making record profits and paying record returns to shareholders it resents paying taxes.

I love Scotland; its beauty, and because it's the land of my ancestors. And I used to sincerely believe that 'we' were better off together, in a United Kingdom.
Not any more! England has turned sour, and Westminster is now remote and incompetent.

So, Enlighten, the Jack McConnell thinks tank aka Reform Scotland gets it completely wrong again.
How surprising.
Jack was also famous for a £1.5billion underspend in the Scottish budget which was sent back to Westminster. All whilst championing PFI initiatives.
A rogue amongst a parcel of them.
