Only a fool doesn't want Scottish Independence.

It's the ONLY rational, sensible way forward for Scotland.

"I didn't do it. And if I did do it, it was years ago, so it doesn't matter".

Oh, but it does matter Nigel. It matters a great deal.

"They're only making these claims now, because I'm leading in the opinion polls".

The claims were reported 13 years ago, Nigel... 🤮

Israeli group B’Tselem notes that, since a supposed “ceasefire” in Gaza, Israel has:

* killed 345 Palestinians,

* denied food to 70% of the population who need it,

* demolished a further 1,500 buildings.

All of this is in blatant violation of the agreement.

You cannot have a functioning economy when so few people at the top hold so much of the nation’s wealth. It’s not sustainable.

Best understood, Labour's attack on juries, as a further lurch towards authoritarianism. Who, now, will stand in the way of a State that wants to imprison its opponents?

Last time I saw anyone wearing so many self imposed fake medals was Idi Amin, And look how that turned out?
But when it’s home grown frauds bedecked in unearned medals & wearing military dress uniform you’re not supposed to heap ridicule on them. Times are changing.

Three things about the Witkoff tapes:

1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.

2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.

3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

As a brown Muslim immigrant kid with a thick accent who went to a private school age 13, I can recognise Nigel types in a blink.

Followed by teacher: "You should learn to take it if you want to fit in"
