Luckily in Scotland we've had political leaders for years working on those same things, like a national care service, free personal care for the elderly, and having Scottish water publicly owned. Seems like the current UK PM has taken lots of policy cues from Scotland! You're welcome!

Rory Stewart has popped up to tout his 'Middleland' bollocks again, so it's a good time to publish a revised version of a blog piece published in April 2014 when the BBC gave him a two part documentary airing his thesis casting doubt on Scottish identity. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/10/01/h...

In Luxembourg the average state pension for 40 years of contributions is nearly 4x higher than in the U.K. Far from being unaffordable the UK State pension is a joke, what is unaffordable is the tax evasion which leaves us with so little money to spend.

Good morning 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Scotland was torn away from the EU. We said remain but we were completely ignored. Turns out Scotland was correct. What else will the UK inflict on Scotland against our wishes?

At the end of Louis Theroux's documentary he has to hide from the IDF as they are hunting Palestinians and he suspects they might kill him too. Theroux says, "Can we ring the Police." And the Palestinian laughs, there is no one who will protect them from Israel.

The correct decision for the Israel v Ireland game is that Israel should be banned from UEFA. We don't want War Criminals, ALL the countries need to get together and ban Israel from even entering their countries, then Israel won't be able to get to the game and THEY will forfeit.
