I repeat: there is two tier policing in the UK - one tier for grannies holding placards opposing genocide, and a much lower one for Nazis trying to murder people at sea. 14921

Reposted by EuanEwan Gibbs @ewangibbs.bsky.social · 24/09/2026The US threat to ban diesel imports is a risk for Britain because we depend on imports. It’s not about the North Sea.

Reposted by Euan#StupidSuez @diplomatofnight.com · 23/09/2026"Does Israel have a right to exist" in the American political discourse is 99% of the time a motte-and-bailey question which leaves off the implicit addendum "...as a Jewish state"? The reason pro-Israel people leave it off is because they know they can't defend it on the merits. 1348292

Euan @euan.bsky.social · 22/09/2026this is the key point for me really, if the Scottish Government is going to expend significant time and political capital on local government reform, why would it not start with the part that everyone, including them, agrees isn’t working 1304
