Meanwhile in Brexit Britain. We regret to announce that your train is cancelled, cos leaves on the line … too hot … too cold … too windy …
Meanwhile Brexit Britain is left in the slow lane ☹️
We’re launching a bold plan to make high-speed rail the fastest, more sustainable way to travel across Europe by 2040.
It’s a concrete timeline to remove bottlenecks, unlock investment, and harmonise rail systems ⬇️

Someone made a big mistake with that hash up of Trump. Nothing like as much a hash up as Trump does himself of course.
From north of the Border, it’s amusing to read the commentariat worrying about alleged BBC bias. They haven’t ever worried about the much more extensive bias re Scotland.

BBC Scotland needs to be devolved to Scotland
End political appointments to the BBC.
Now.
We badly need a properly functioning BBC.
It is essential for our democracy.

The UK is a busted flush.
Decades of chaos, corruption and decline have proved it beyond doubt.
It’s time to abolish Westminster and end the Union.
All nations, including the reunification of the Island of Ireland, deserve the chance to choose their own future.

Those companies pay billions to their shareholders
And then lay off their workers
