Since Brexit, there are no official records or statistics of undocumented migrants or asylum seekers, arriving directly in Scotland, via small boats. That's because none have. It's time for Scottish Independence. Another Country (England) is sharing its problems with Scotland.
Nicola Sturgeon referring to the Scottish Green Party said “They don’t cower in the face of pressure from the right-wing media or corporate vested interests. And I think that wins respect, even from people who don’t support them.” She is absolutely right! SNP must follow suit!
Whilst the cost of living crisis continues to spiral, with food and fuel prices soaring, so do global oil and gas companies profits. Shell has today announced it's profits have more than doubled. This is obscene. www.reuters.com/business/ene...

Major oil firms make $93bn profits in just 3 months amid war and climate crisis. They shift profits, dodge taxes, fuel poverty and inflation. They don't bear the social cost of their business. Forever holding people/govts to ransom. Polluters must pay. Need windfall tax now.

Burnhams position on Scottish Independence is clear. Unionism is not about equality. Or democracy. What they want, they will take!.... 'We own Scotland! You will never be allowed to have the democracy you seek. Instead, we will impose our rule.
Condolences on this sad news to all those at BBC Scotland, STV, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, SKY, Daily Record, Sun, Star, Mail, Scotsman, Telegraph. Our thoughts are with them at this difficult time - but not in the way they would like.

The same people who have been telling us "we can't stop climate change, instead we must adapt" have been hammering our capacity to adapt, through their promotion of austerity. What they're really saying is "keep burning fossil fuels for the sake of our donors". www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

The "Board of Peace" is a misnomer if ever there was one. Composed of Netanyahu/Trump appointees, hiding behind a name in the Orwellian 1984 tradition, its purpose is to justify the genocide and aid Zionist expansion. Peace is very far from its aspirations and well-informed people know it.

Burnham has quickly shown his disdain for Scotland and the Scottish People. He is yet another in an unceasing line of English Imperialists. Never vote for Labour if you are Scottish; it will always treat you with derision.

Westminster has consistently acted undemocratically with regard to Scotland's wish for full Independence. Burnham has started his term as all PMs since and including May. He refused Scotland's right to decide on its future. That is unforgivable and we will not forget. Not a good start.

Nicolas Chinardet@zefrog.eu · 3d agoAnd why is #r4today giving (yet again) such prominence to a hair-brained scheme that has little chance to ever be implemented? A GE is unlikely soon and the threat of Reform winning it is apparently receding. What is the justification for legitimising it?
