right. So the police let the "terrorists" out on bail as stealing diesel is probably going to be made a capital offence due to the price. This guy's only been in charge for a few weeks and he's already losing a grip on reality! 👇 uk.news.yahoo.com/burnham-says...

On this day…in 1960 Nigeria celebrated its freedom from British Colonial rule. To this day, 65 countries within the last 100 yrs have also celebrated their freedom, it’s significant that none have returned. #Scottishindependence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 historicalnigeria.com/nigerias-ind...

UK public sector bodies spent £17bn with offshore-owned private equity firms last year. The same vultures received £31bn public sector contracts. Profiteering, low wages, tax dodging, asset-stripping is their business model. Enriched by public money. How many have politicians on payroll?

This image was circulated last night by unionist leaders, showing DUP MP Carla Lockhart addressing a huge crowd at a car park at the end of the Garvaghy Road. It’s a fake, AI-generated image. Most people's reaction has been to laugh, and that’s fair enough. There was 200 in attendance, NOT 2,000.

Regarding the Man City case versus Rangers 2012, the SFA knew about Rangers' side letters, or at least they should have. Scottish FA president and EBT recipient Campbell Ogilvie: did the SFA help to liquidate Rangers in 2012? This is the story the Scottish media cannot report on.

In Scotland, there is free personal care for all adults in need. This covers help with personal hygiene, continence, diet, mobility and simple treatments. The upper threshold for residential care is £35,000. In England, social care is fully means-tested and the upper capital limit is only £23,250.
