It was only after we left 🇬🇧 that we really got to understand how bad things were, and how much worse they are getting.. when you are on the outside looking in, you see in absolute clarity the breakdown of society, infrastructure, rule of law...

Migrants didn't cut council funding.
Migrants didn't raise energy bills.
Migrants didn't close community centres.

Know what would help solve Scotland’s problems? Taxing the super-rich and building an affordable country for all.

In a nutshell...👏👏👏
President Zelenskyy came to the White House, looking for help from his longstanding ally.

He was ambushed, humiliated and berated for not being grateful enough.

Prince Bone Saw bin 9/11 came to the White House, for the first time since he ordered the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

He was revered.

This isn't spoken about enough... Empty homes, second homes, Air BnB... More than enough to remedy the homelessness catastrophe in the UK... Greed, greed and more greed, whilst the most vulnerable in society are kept in the gutter!!
So true. well shared on Fbook by #HarryEccles

FYI America.. last night I watched 2 George Carlin videos, one from 1996 the other 2004, he was either so ahead of the curve, or the US has just continued to sleep walk politically into 2025..

Remember when Suella Braverman said there was “no legal basis” to claims that there would be a £50 billion bill if the UK left the EU? That it was “project fear”?

So, Farage, in the same breath, has stated that:

Minimum wage should be cut for young people (currently at £10 an hour - oh the largesse!)

And

Young people earning over £100k a year should get tax cuts.

That tells you just about everything you need to know about where his priorities lie.

The Reform leader said cutting the minimum wage for young people would boost business, as he attacked plans to raise taxes on the wealthy

Absolutely in a nutshell!! It's not weak or uncool to be empathic...
“In my work with the (Nuremberg Trial) defendants, I was searching for the nature of evil, and I now think I have come close to defining it. A lack of empathy... a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow men. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.”

- Captain G.M. Gilbert, US Army
