Get signing people! We must put pressure on the BBC in Scotland to reflect the facts not their fiction!
A stark reminder that one of the biggest challenges facing Scottish Independence is the constant onslaught of Scotland Bad from the MSM particularly BBC Reporting Scotland. Please get very very angry and support my petition so it can be debated in the HoC.

Petition: Tv-licence holders to be able to demand refund
We call on legislation to be introduced to enable tv license payers to be able to demand a 50% refund if the BBC is found to have breached its Charter and not provided an on-air public apology.

The first questioner on #bbcqt asks about child poverty & the lifting of the two child benefit gap. She seems to be more upset that a parent may have "coloured nails" than having to bring their children up in poverty while working. What a nasty, ill-informed view of the world.

I'm really pleased that the accusations against Farage are quite rightly not going away. He appears very, very rattled and deservedly so.
This is very long overdue.

Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye! Calling all sensible people- would you trust Farage with your money? He’s lied before and will do so again. Vote SNP/Green for Holyrood 26. Keep English based parties out!

The contortions of defending Nigel Farage. Stephen Pollard in the Jewish Chronicle makes the judgement that Farage probably did say terrible things including "Hitler was right" & "Gas them." But his defence is that everyone was saying antisemitic things at private schools then.

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences.
It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

Too late. Marco Rubio already spilled the truth. The so called peace plan was Russia’s wish list, not something the US drafted. He’s trying to walk it back but the damage is done.

The UK is a strongly pro-choice country with 86% of Britons wanting abortion to be legal in all or most cases. But the US anti-choice movement has been investing heavily into campaigns in Britain, and Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party seems to be support the interference.
The worrying rise of US anti-abortion rhetoric is in full force - how deep is Reform UK's involvement?
Money is pouring into anti-abortion campaigns in Britain, and it seems Nigel Farage’s party isn’t pushing back…
