Could Asda or Morrisons vanish within a decade? It will be a blow to many. Both owned by private equity, loaded with debt, cut staffing/wages, low investment, strangled by asset-stripping, struggling to compete, losing market share. What future for others being devoured by private equity?

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $8 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of American households is worth just $4.27 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Zionism means the continual murder and forced displacement of Palestinians and other Arabs until there are none remaining in the lands the Zionists want to occupy. That's as racist as it comes. By this stage pushing the two state solution looks like a fig leaf to cover for Israel's ongoing crimes.

Aye but that's ages away, by which time the oil will either be finished or the decision will have been taken to no longer drill for it. Remember, it was running out in 2014. BP pulling out is a clear indication that there's not much left to exploit, compared to the other places they're exploiting

Of course they would. Not long term obviously cos fossil fuels need phased out but as part of a transition. That means bringing in new companies to the area to create new jobs. A decent government would identify key industries to attract and grow here.

I can argue that Labour's promise that Grangemouth jobs would be saved was a lie. If Scotland were independent we'd keep it open for now, seeing as we're an oil producing country

EddieD1967🇵🇸 @eddiedoc.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

There needs to be a managed transition away from fossil fuels, not a cliff edge. And INEOS were subsidised. The point is that the Scottish people should have sovereignty here to decide what happens to us. Westminster does what is good for England, particularly the south of England.

There is nothing racist about any ethnic or religious group wanting their own homeland. The problem is if this desire is at the expense of another people. Zionism in practise meant "a homeland at the expense of Palestinians". It's really not hard to grasp this basic point!

A pre-2014 #IndyRef piece from the late, lamented A.A.Gill: www.thetimes.com/travel/desti...

Someone said that Scotland doesn’t have history, it just has a longer memory for current events. Before talking about whether this uneven union should be split, it’s instructive to understand what forged it in the first place.

The English, while offering gold with one hand, waved the cudgel with the other and passed the Alien Act, making any Scot not in the army or on business an illegal immigrant. London threatened tariffs on Scottish exports. So the vote was passed. As Daniel Defoe, an English spy, said, for every one Scot in favour of union, 99 were against. There had been hundreds of petitions agin it from every corner of the country, and not a single one in favour. There were riots in Edinburgh and Glasgow, martial law was imposed.

As the ancient Caledonian parliament voted itself out of existence, the Earl of Seaford, with a heavy heart, noted that it was the end of an auld sang. And at St Giles Cathedral, the national church of Scotland, where Knox had preached, the bells rang out. The tune was Why Should I Be So Sad on My Wedding Day?

Not many Scots, and even fewer English, know this story, the inglorious nuptials of the Union. But you don’t have to remember history to be affected by it. This act and all the bullying and perfidy, venality, weakness and snobbery that went before it has made the relationship between the two countries what it is. The informed view of Big Ben seen from Ben Nevis was never a love match, nor the uniting of mutually benefiting equals. It’s the English who roll their eyes at the raking up of the past and say, “Oh, get over it, move on. Stop being a victim,” which is what wife-beaters always say to their victims.

Still, despite 400 years of patronage and propaganda, Scotland isn’t the heathery extension of England. It remains stubbornly and grimly, often amusingly, a different place. Its humour, its character, its stories, its expectations, how it gets married and celebrates, how it gets buried and sees in the New Year, what it s…
