A butterfly and a bee share the resources nature provides.
Humanity could learn a lot from nature.
It's time to share and not hoard.

Taken in my garden the other day.

I did notice that even during our independence referendum. Membership fees were more important to them, than telling members what was best for them.

Agreed

The BBC were instrumental in the establishment attacks on Corbyn and also responsible for Farages rise to prominance. They are not impartial in any way.

I remember it well. We campaigned outside the BBC Scotland studios after that.

I'm retired now, but i stopped paying the political levy to my union when they and Labour both stood shoulder to shoulder with the Tories and backed the no vote on Scottish independence back in 2014.

I completely agree, Lee. I have far more in common with @zackpolanski.bsky.social and the @greenparty.org.uk than I will ever have with @teamlabouruk.bsky.social

But they aren't offering a decent alternative. They should be championing the Greens, SNP, Plaid, and Sinn Feinn, but instead, they will advise their members to carry on voting for another right wing party in Liebore

Trade union should now be aligning with the green party and not Liebore. Their shift to the right, along with their part in genocide, should not be rewarded with union backing and trade unionists votes.

Id like all the mainstream parties to be thoroughly investigated, along with all of the other establishment grifters.

Yet your favourite union, the CWU, told its Scots members that this is what is best for them.

Wee Oorie @johnbhoy1964.bsky.social · 11h

All of them did though.

A bit far fetched on my part I know.

Living in Scotland, I want independence so will continue to vote for the SNP until that is achieved. However, if I lived in England I would definitely be a green member

The king was Jimmy Savlles best mate, I think that relationship should be thoroughly investigated too.

The CWU can never be trusted to look after its members'interests after getting their Scottish independence stance so wrong.
