The Fairford incident is no longer "diesel theft". It's back to being Iranian terrorists now. www.normalisland.co.uk/p/the-fairfo...

The Fairford psy-op is back on! We’re pretending it was Iran after all!
When the Fairford plot fell apart before it had got going, I honestly thought that was the end of it.

The idea that he had an opinion on AI three years ago is hilariously preposterous It is evident to the entire nation that he didn't start paying attention to AI at *all* until someone told him he could make a hell of a lot of money letting it run rampant over our economy Every sentence holds a lie

As Westminster keeps failing Scotland on everything from Brexit to energy bills, more people are looking to the fresh start independence can bring. Scotland’s future should be in Scotland’s hands.
Pie chart showing 52% of Scots support independence while 48% oppose, based on a Survation poll of 2000 people conducted from August 13th to 24th, 2023, with a call to action to learn more at yes.scot.

It is ludicrous that this story was on BBC main news programme as a 'major' story. Yet nothing on BBC when Starmer & his wife flew by private jet to see the England women's team. With this and the Glasgow hatchet job, BBC is in full on Unionist propaganda mode. www.thenational.scot/news/2648343...

You now have 3 devolved governments, All lead by pro Independence parties who see no future within this unequal, unholy 'Voluntary union'.

One of the local auto shops in my area has had an obviously AI-generated and AI-voiced ad playing in the movie theater for a while now. It’s singlehandedly ensured I will never take my business there. If you can’t be bothered to promote yourself via human means, then I can’t trust you, period.

We need to stop the media behaving like 1940s fascist media and hold them accountable for their actions. 🤬🤬 This and allow only UK citizens who reside in and pay tax in this country to own newspapers. Stop the foreign ‘actors’ owning our media.
