The reason everything is so bad is because the richest people own the politicians, they own the essential services and while they are in control of them they will get richer and everyone else will get poorer

It's a difficult problem but it's not complicated

They must be removed

I will just point out the Doctors have asked for a maximum of £800m, that's for 71,000 doctors who run all the hospitals.

That's 'too expensive'.

But when the Water Companies asked for £5bn, they were given it.

Broken Britain, money for thieves, no money for you.

Teenagers need somewhere to gather. As well as a youth club our town built a "youth shelter" in one of our town parks. And graffiti is encouraged! What a great idea.

Let me just say something.

The idea that in 2025 you should have to volunteer and work for free to provide basic services that should already be provided, in the richest countries in the world, while billionaires become trillionaires.

Is poison.

The David Cameron *comment* only!! Described 2014 Scottish independence referendum as a "once in a generation" But has NEVER!! Been written into the Edinburgh agreement, It's Just something the unionist camp like to hold on to, The sovereign people of Scotland need no permission.
There is nowhere in the Edinburgh agreement that uses that phrase or anything about the timing of another referendum at all.

Labour is turning Britain into an authoritarian state.

That’s bad enough now.

But imagine what a Nigel Farage government will build on all these authoritarian foundations.

Labour's last PFI schemes under Blair and Brown were a disaster we're still paying for. Now Starmer and Sarwar seriously suggest we'd be better off if they got their hands on Scotland's NHS?

Thankfully 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗡𝗣 has stopped them... so far.
Just a tiny snapshot of the countless articles exposing how disastrous PFI was…It was universally recognised as a failure. 🚫💸

So why — WHY — is a similar scheme being opened up again just 7 years later?!

We want answers from our politicians. Now.

Did you know, the total value of whisky aging in Scotland is greater than the UK's entire gold reserves!
310 tonnes of gold,£22–£25 billion.
Whisky in Bond,
22 million casks valued between £30 billion to £100 billion+!
No wonder England won't let us escape with 75% of that going to HMRC London!
We're not truthfully told how much Scotch Whisky there is in Scotland.

The UK Duty regime is absolutely ludicrous, 75%!

Could you imagine, launching a Product and being told, three-quarters of it will be Tax? Bonkers!

It's hampering growth, only a fool now doesn't want Scottish Independence.

Having Energy sold at cost would save the UK £1,000 per household and be a massive boon to the economy.

Instead you pay £30bn extra which goes almost entirely to people who don't live, pay tax or spend money in the UK.

Quite right.
