I also wonder what Mossad might have on at least some of these Labour Friends of Israel?

TBF, Polanski did say that he wouldn’t have voted for that resolution in the form it was finally approved in had he been there instead of canvassing. But what I really don’t understand is why labour is so in thrall to Israel?

Understandable. Who hasn’t been heavily medicated and said things like that….

It was something of a rhetorical question 🙂

As a Scot…,WTF is wrong with the 32% who apparently think he’s doing a good job?

Excellent point.

So what is your solution? What is the route to independence?

Jim F @exiledhighlander.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
It wasn’t… I get your point, but to compare like for like, really you are talking about immigrants. Anyway, it’s semantics at the end of the day.

Seriously impressed that the NSA was tracking diesel fuel thieves in rural England! They are really on it!

As an overseas observer, I'm just stunned that you all believe the midterms will matter when Trump invokes a "National Security" crisis to disrupt the whole process. Am I off the mark with this?

Anyway, they’re certainly does seem to be a growing pushback in the UK to the Farage/Lowe Reform/Restore axis and by association to the wealthy donors who fund them.

There are certainly more seats in the Senate and the House coming into play for the Dems then anyone imagined even just a few weeks ago. But I think that is more to do do with the cost of living crisis in the US, rather than any moralistic pushback against billionaires and investment houses.

Jim F @exiledhighlander.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
You may be better placed than I am, but I am hard pressed to see any evidence of this questioning of billionaires and private equity organisations, particularly in the US )where I lived for 12 years) and which I fear is about to enter a very dark place at the midterm elections.

It’s actually Martial Law…. but it’s likely he will, and they will….. that’s why he keeps talking about a deal with Iran after the midterm “elections”. He’s going to use national security and likely the Insurrection Act in some way.

I suspect the FM knows this. If you watch the interview, Marra is babbling on about the will of the Scottish people being settled since the 1980s/1990s….

Heading towards authoritarianism fast? I have news for you, most of the rest of the world thinks you have been there for some time now!

You are making an assumption that they know what fascism is! 🤷‍♂️

This couldn’t be more true. Although I would use a different adjective to describe him.

Why the hell should the Army be turned into a prison service and have to deal with these wankers?

I’m sure that funny in your head.

I sincerely hope you are right. That’s my gut feeling too. but the English establishment can never be underestimated, that said it does feel like a pivotal moment.

As a Scotsman who doesn’t have (voting) skin in the game, I am a little surprised. that you think that you still live in normal times with normal rules.

Of course it’s Biden’s fault! If he had stayed the course and been elected then prices would not be this high! 🙂🤷‍♂️

So, the Scottish Government rolls out its manifesto promise yet the BBC Scotland propaganda machine couldn’t help themselves… I can almost see the subeditor salivating as he/she wrote this headline.

Thanks for that. Agreed

The English Government won’t allow Scotland to determine its own future as an equal partner in a “voluntary” union, but states this this with regard to the Falkland Islands. “The government reiterated this week that Falkland islanders "are British with a right to determine their own future".”

All well and good but don’t use made up quotes in a meme to try to support the cause of independence.

Yep, has canny communication strategy has gone down a storm in Ireland, Wales and in Scotland. 🫣

We are building a seemingly endless amount of AI data centres to produce crap like this. By all means, use them for medical research, engineering, or anything that helps advance society but depleting our natural resources and dumbing down society with this dross is taking us backwards!

It’s just another dead cat strategy. Of course, there have been so many dead cats that no one cares anymore.

I still recall walking from my house to and from the local polling station. and all the hairs on my arms and my neck standing end with the anticipation, hope and excitement. I want to feel that anticipation, hope and excitement again through whatever means it takes to get us to independence.
