Today's Words are:
Taxi Misdirection.
There are several £TRILLIONS, in the dozen-or so, British Overseas Territories but stupid people are force-fed stories about migrants and £600 Taxi trips. Like it's THEIR fault.
It's REALLY time for Scottish Independence.
Idiots are being pandered-to.

People who extoll the virtues of Saudi Arabia, aren't that good ar Critical Thinking.
When Rachel Reeves was in Riyadh last month, she paid homage to MBS and agreed to provide £5bn in UK taxpayer guarantees to businesses owned by the Saudi public investment fund. That came a week after the execution of one of her host’s citizens for an “offence” committed as a child.

Comparing 1980s Hogmanay in Edinburgh, with Hogmanay there, NOW.
Of COURSE it's different.
Hogmanay now is MILES better, drier, safer, catered-for and far less chaotic.
I was there, in the 1980s. Anyone thinking the old 'Tron Kirk celebration' was better, isn't good at Critical Thinking!

The Budget? Eh?

The Scottish Independence movement is way too smartarse.
It's got to be MUCH simpler. Farage shows, most people don't know about complex things. They're only interested in themselves, not others.

These are the things that worked. It's sad but true.
