At first I laughed then remembered that any loss this mob have will go straight to Reform.
We cannot let Reform get a foothold in the Scottish Parliament!

Is complacency set in now that we know our nearest rivals can't buy a win?
It's so frustrating to watch a team who were on fire against Bayern play so lacklustre.
This is why we need a strong tribute act to keep us fresh.

Here's an idea. For assets over £10m, straight 2% tax.
That's £200,000. It's nothing off a 10m fortune, it'll be made back up in no time by interest accrued on savings.
Here's the kicker. An exit tax. If they want to disappear to another Country, tax them 10% straight off.
Let's see who runs then.

So as I see it, ordinary people are going to suffer because a few egos are having a willie waving contest?
We've never learned from past mistakes and are destined to keep making the same mistakes.
No wonder the political world is a horrible place just now.

The UK Union is a Westminster protection racket which steals 45% of Scottish asset wealth and demands payment of another 45% in cash every year whilst Scots must do as they are told or be punished. Westminster is quite simply a criminal enterprise that can only function on theft.

For years, Unionists warned that independence would bring economic collapse, isolation, and political instability.
They painted a grim picture of Scotland struggling to survive.
Yet ironically, their lies have come true - not because of independence, but because Scotland remains in the UK.
