If you opposed the proposed awful asylum and immigration changes put forward by the Tories, but voted Labour and you’re now remaining silent? Shame on you!
Labour pandering to the far right is a dangerous path, which Shabana seems only too happy to skip on down!

Scotland never voted for the Brexit stupidity which was voted into legal effect by Labour & Tories in a parliamnet dominated by English MPs. Scotland’s people were ignored & never consulted.

Climate breakdown is driven by a storm of lies. This lying is systemic, funded and coordinated, and operates across almost all media, old and new.

The BBC in Scotland has suppressed support for independence, which is supported by over 50% of Scots. The achievements of the Scottish government are omitted, ignored or talked down by unionist opposition parties. Many simply switch off because their news and current affairs are so dire!
