Why do the media - especially @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social et al not broadcast this man’s work, for some intelligent truth? I wonder?
My latest blog piece, the real crisis of our age is one the media won't talk about. There is no migrant crisis, there's a greed of the super rich crisis.

Not a day goes by without the BBC, Sky News or ITV News covering a story about what they insist on calling the “migrant crisis”. In this they are following the agenda of the right wing …

The day after former Scottish Labour minister Frank McAveety was arrested and charged with fraud BBC Scotland reported that Scottish Labour had been approached for comment. Over two weeks later and we're still waiting to hear what the party said. Why has this story been killed?

Starmer's St George's day video repeatedly conflates England with Britain. Something Westminster politicans love to do. For them, Scotland doesn't exist except when we have something they want - like renewable energy. Or somewhere to store nuclear weapons.

Labour are planning to nationalise British Steel - to save the Scunthorpe plant from closing down.
Why didn't Labour do the same when Scotland's last oil refinery announced it was closing down?
Scottish jobs are an afterthought for Labour.

In Greenland all healthcare is free, mothers are entitled to 14 weeks of maternity leave, fathers to 3 weeks paternity leave, workers to 5 weeks paid holiday leave annually. Minimum wage is $18.50 per hr. There are no tuition fees for students. No wonder they don't want to be part of Trump's empire.

Sarwar backs Starmer’s welfare cuts. Here’s what it means for you:
🔴 Thousands could lose vital support.
🔴 More people forced into poverty.
🔴 Holyrood will be left to pick up the pieces with less funding.

I did not have high expectations of Keir Starmer, he was always obviously Blair 2.0, but I did think that as a disabled person at the very least I would no longer live in terror of disability benefit cuts as I did under the Tories. How wrong was that fond hope.

Remember when the BBC strongly supported the anti-Scottish Gov mob in killing off Scotland's plans for Highly Protected Marine Areas? Turns out those Unionists were the problem all along when it came to environmental protection...
🔴 NEW: Giant supertrawlers routinely fish in Scotland’s marine protected areas, damaging precious marine life and fish populations, despite the UK Government having had the powers to stop them since Brexit.

This means young people can travel to their place of work, learning or to hang out with family and friends while saving them and their family significant amounts of money.

After months of collective punishment and the death of over 40,000 in Gaza, any suggestion Palestinians should be removed from their home is unacceptable and dangerous.
There must be no ethnic cleansing.
