This is the Moygashel 12th July bonfire. Many bonfires receive huge funding and backing from loyalist paramilitary groups. The PSNI facilitate this and councils clean up after them.
This paramilitary backed hate is being justified live on BBC Radio Ulster. The state is rotten to the core.

And yet...NO PROSECUTIONS of them. Fujitsu not being sued by UK GOV for the money. Taxpayers/government money being used to compensate (badly) the victims of this SCAM (not scandal, but, SCAM).
The Post Office scandal is one of the worst miscarriages of justice in my adult life.
We now know, without a doubt, that staff at both the Post Office & Fujitsu knew that the IT system was flawed, yet they continued to pursue the wholly unjust prosecution of innocent postmasters

I think when a Prime Minister, or other Ministers say they are acting in the best interests of the country, they should be obliged to offer a short explanation of what they believe is good for the country, and how their actions help achieve it.
Our politicians claim this, but never explain.

Mary Barbour at 10 Hutton Dr in 1915 during the Glasgow rent strikes. The strikes, led by Mary, were a protest at rent hikes by greedy landlords keen to exploit overcrowding. They were successful and in Nov 1915 legislation limited rents to pre-war levels

It's genuinely not as important as the situation in Ukraine, but if Starmer continues his appeasement policy the need for Scottish independence has never been more critical. At the moment, Westminster is stopping any chance of us being part of a European alignment.

If you're a small business importing food products from the EU, you're truly stuffed. Meanwhile Reeves claims this is a good thing and Starmer dismisses joining the CU.
