Visit Scotland has masses of stats about the huge growth of Tourism in Scotland. It'll be ANOTHER record year.
Visitors spend a lot, including 20% VAT, on just about everything they buy!
This is currently, all going to Westminster.
No wonder they don't want Scotland to be Independent!

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

Imagine you were the richest man in the world. You could have anything you wanted, go anywhere you wished, do whatever took you fancy. How would you spend your weekend? Depriving the poorest people in the world of food and healthcare and boasting about it?

SNP win in Bannockburn.
BUT Farage’s Reform UK, 'NF-lite' almost pipped Labour for Second!
Nigel Farage HATES Scotland!
Unenlightened racists are out there, in Stirlingshire!
Voters really ARE this stupid! Their Manifesto is the same as The National Front!
Scotland badly needs Independence!

Scottish Opposition Parties are asking that in Holyrood too ably backed by the BBC and STV. They don't like anything good coming from Scotland.
CalMac are running at 98% and why The SNP still don't have a Rebuttal Unit (as promised) is beyond me.

Hospitals in the North West of England are warning of huge demand.
NHS England has already had several critical incidents [two alone yesterday] and one red alert. Yet there's still none of the hysteria from the BBC we saw when NHS Grampian issued a critical incident last month.👇🏻
