Windsor lot have powerfully demonstrated a peasant can become queen overnight.
They've now followed up by demonstrating how a prince can be a peasant overnight.
So the "inner circle" leaks both directions, suggesting it's possible any of them could be out any day now. The magic is gone. Screwed

I studied economics for a while
I don't understand how Trump believes countries have paid USA billions of dollars in tariffs: if USA imposes tariffs on (eg) Scottish gin, it's the buyers in the USA who pay the tarrifs, not Scotland.
Surely.

Dear Mr Swinney, could you arrange for English Independence to be a leading factor in all future SNP policies and promotions?

Telegraph article about Angela Rayner: what utter poisonous pish. We should be able to expect better from a broadsheet.

Small boats: stop them by providing big boats. 1 boat a day goes to France, picks up X number of asylum seekers & takes them to England (not necessarily Dover). Assess on arrival, keep those who pass, take others back on next voyage.
60+% pass on appeal: assess properly so right 1st time.

'Scotland’s integration of asylum seekers and refugees is held up internationally as perhaps the best in the world. Once again, the public knows very little about that fact.'

What's going on? I could be arrested for suggesting I might have sympathy with Palestine Action, but Farage can propose, in writing, multiple copies, trading with, paying the Taliban and he's free to stalk the streets.
Something's no right about this.

GHIk replaced EHIK.
If GHIK gets you medical attention in Europe why do travel insurance companies want to know about your medical history?
Is travel insurance (health wise) just a scam?

No sign of a red carpet!
If Trump's doing this to get Peace Prize, he needs to give Zelenskyy something acceptable to Ukraine - and to the Nobel committee.
Otherwise, it's bye bye Peace Prize and "aw Vlad, they're being horrid to me"

Grand to hear Zelenskyy will have 7 big players riding shotgun when he heads to see Trump.
I'm guessing / hoping that when Trump lays a chronic,war stopping deal on the table Zelenskyy won't have to reject it, one all all 7 will tell him where to shove it.

I heard a bit of Trump's press conference today but I had to switch it off.
Insanity on the airwaves.
What's the thinking behind his idea that Zelenskyy started the war?

Seems many English folk have a cute fix for illegal immigrants - ship them all to uninhabited islands of Scotland's west coast.
A key SNP belief is that,if you live here, you're Scottish. Now if all these new immigrants (living here so Scots) decide Scotland's cool & vote for independence.........

If nothing changes in Palestine between now & September, Starmer will recognise Palestine.
So, if he can recognise it in September when conditions are as today, why not recognise today?

If I had a company that polluted a local stream, I'd be fined, at least.
If it kept on polluting on a daily basis, I'd be committing a serious crime and I could expect to be arrested.
So why are police not arresting the directors & CEOs of our water companies?
Too much to ask?

Great stushie on TV today about how BBC was right out of order to commission a documentary spoken by a Palestine wean.
More of a stushie about the wean's faither than about the murder of weans & Palestinians in general.
Utterly monstrous.

Terrorists tend not to go on marches, carry placards and use spray paint to promote their cause.
20 years after the London bombings, it feels way beyond inappropriate to proscribe Palestine Action, it seems like an insult to those who died, those who suffered and suffer still.

Outcome: no charges against Nicola Sturgeon - you noticed that in the news?

I'm awaiting the huge report that the legal system has offered profuse apologies to Sturgeon, the SNP, & people of Scotland
