Here I am with Reform councillor Andrew Harrison, who was one of a group of people fined over £1m for employing illegal workers. Like all good patriots, he hates immigrants, apart from the ones he can exploit for profit.

Recorded crime in Scotland is at one of the lowest levels since 1974.
Police numbers are higher than when the SNP came into office.
And all that Anas Sarwar offers is empty rhetoric, hypocrisy and no solutions.

I am a Scottish Jew. This is the truth about pro-Palestine 'antisemitism'

There is a lot of discussion in Scotland as the fees the scot government pays universities per student has not increased in years. This means less income than English unis. However, the financial.problems in English unis as bad as Scitland. So not all down to fees.
England penalises those seeking further education, Scotland sets them free with no tuition fees. #ScottishIndependence 🏴 apple.news/AnAf_m08sS0u...

Watched channel 4 news. Parliament to busy to do anything about Pince Andrew. Seemingly waste of parliamentary time. Up to Royal family. But seemingly they can use a lot if time advocating for hooligans. Because they are Isreali. Says everything about the Labour party.
Is Labour just uninformed - or do they knowingly lie?
Lisa Nandy: "He's right to say that it is unprecedented in recent times that an entire group of away supporters have been entirely banned from a game"
Unprecedented in recent times? In 2023 Legia Warsaw fans were banned from a game at Villa Park.

Very good decision.
Scottish Police have decided that Palestine Action's... actions fall well below the definition of terrorism.
It will no longer be devoting police resources to arresting them.
