Did anyone see ch4 Dispatches on UK response to atrocities in Palestine? Very damning on Cameron, Sunak & of course, Starmer. It outlines the lengths they went to to cover up Human Rights abuses in Palestine. What a shower of weak craven leadership for all of these Zionist shits.

Waiting for BBC Scotland to tell us in its reporting on Anas Sarwar's peerage that a couple of months ago he said he'd never accept a peerage and in 2022 said: "The House of Lords has no place in 21st century politics. It is unacceptable…to have unelected representatives wielding such power."

And yet….radio silence on this matter…. Not a 5 year police forensic investigation costing £2.7mluon and actual taxpayers’ money involved. Oddly, his wife wasn’t investigated or even blamed…..🤷‍♀️
A FORMER Conservative party branch treasurer involved in a £1 million VAT fraud and money laundering scheme will have no further action taken against him.
Malcolm Macaskill, 65, filed bogus forms to HMRC which grossly overstated the sales from his sandwich businesses to reclaim more than
£800,000.
Macaskill also laundered £200,000 of his ill-gotten gains through his local Conservative parties in Glasgow and Rutherglen where he was treasurer as well as deputy chairman.

Words are cheap, action counts. Having seen Nicola Sturgeon every day on TV during COVID and her commitment to keeping our nation safe, I doubt any of them could match her trustworthiness, reliability and sheer work rate in a position of responsibility they would struggle to even comprehend.
