In light of Labour's Ed Milliband stating he would invite nuke companies to Scotland if Labour win in GE2026, it's worth remembering that planning for nuclear dumping was one of the powers stripped from Scotland by Westminster's Powergrab. Where do *you* think they'll want to put it?

So when Farage rails against the latest migration figures, he's railing against a monster of his own making. The EU didn't impose uncontrolled immigration on us; it offered a framework that reflected geography, economics and reality”
ie - control.

People are just realising that we had a better grip on immigration within the EU
They gave us bar staff and builders - we gave them sunburnt pensioners and seaside property booms. It was win-win.

A striking monument on a Scottish island which remembers the Clearances has been handed one of the most prestigious arts awards in the UK.
The monument on the Isle of Lewis was erected to commemorate 100 years since the resettlement of Galson village after it was cleared in 1863.

There's a weird belief in this country that when the public vote in a referendum, that electorate becomes an eternal arbiter of that issue.
It's like the people who insist that the Scottish independence issue is settled because an electorate that no longer exists voted on it over a decade ago.

If you keep voting for politicians who want to cut public services and roll back human rights, eventually you end up desperate but powerless because if you so much as squeak in protest the government is free to do what it wants to you.
