I tried & managed at least a few minutes, however Ms Badenoch is an absolutely terrible communicator. My ears are still dirlling! Switched off from her black shirts speech.

So as a counterpoint.

It's simple, if you throw paint on a plane then you get proscribed and any 80 year olds defending you get arrested.

If you ask people to burn down hotels, and they try, you get an interview in the Telegraph and positive coverage in the BBC.

That's sensible, proportionate policing.

English courts, prisons, water, hospitals & some councils close to collapse due to austerity yet Sarwar, Baillie, Finlay & Cole Hamilton tell us Scotland already collapsed

"The number of private schools [in the UK] has actually increased from 2,421 to 2,456" since VAT was put on their fees.

No calamitous shift of pupils from private schools to state schools, either. In other words, the scare mongering from vested interests was wrong

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.

The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.

Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

So, who wants to lose Scotlands benefits? Will we be happier integrated into England, paying less tax but paying more for services we get for free due to SNP choices?

Are we experiencing “collective outrage”?

Not the sort that’s farmed by media barons and algo-savvy modern day shock jocks

The kind that feels like system failure. The moral compass spinning.

With more race riots looming
& extreme weather, slop summer cooking our brains…

A few thoughts.

If John Swinney or anyone in the SNP had written a letter threatening the funding of renewables or an entire developing industry, the noise would be so loud that it would split Mars into two. The media mothership would be landing on Holyrood, police vans
a gathering & the biggest blue tent ever 🤦🏻‍♀️
Good morning, but l really think Reform threatening to destroy the Renewable Energy industry isn't getting the attention it deserves🤷‍♀️

Guessing the BBC & Right Wing arse wipes disguised as Newspapers have jumped into bed with Reform because the sound of uproar is noticeable by its absence 🙄

Tories just voted AGAINST measures to crack down on:

- Knife crime

Absolutely shameful!
