SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”

For decades, the “Guga hunt”, on Sula Sgeir has been defended as sustainable, harmless, and woven into cultural heritage. But the science emerging today tells a very different story.

Scotland isn't told the ACTUAL amount of 'Old and Rare' Scotch Whisky we have in Scotland.

As you can see, from this £5,500, Rosebank example, it's incredibly valuable.

There are at least 50,000,000 Casks of Scotch Whisky, in total, from over 150 Distilleries. Probably more.

Casks, not bottles.

Warren: "With Jeffrey Epstein, I really mean follow the money. Here's the deal - JPMorgan Chase - yes, Jamie Dimon, I'm looking at you -- is Epstein's bank, a close personal relationship that spans years. Shouldn't this be in the JPMorgan's ads?...I'd like to have Dimon come in & under oath testify"

Christmas gift giving is a zero sum game. Too much tit-for-tat ends up in tat, that wastes money and fills landfills.

The Epstein stuff was on the radio and I was wondering how many other super rich people there were holding law breaking/people abusing parties there were and for some reason that off the record party Boris Johnson went to in Italy without his security detail came to mind.

Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract.

Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.

Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community.

Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.

“The chancellor now knows that raising income tax is the only way she can balance her Budget.”

Not true. Taxing wealth, ending banks’ tax breaks & reducing interest on the QE the BoE created would raise ~£50bn+
