In our local pharmacy today to get something over the counter. They asked what it was for, took a look, issued a prescription for something better, and handed it to me. No charge. This is Scotland atm. If you want that excellent service to continue, don't vote for any of the Unionist parties.

The USA, where the summary execution of an unarmed man can now be justified by the actual president, because on a separate occasion he kicked the tail light of a "very expensive government vehicle."
Agitator and, perhaps, insurrectionist, Alex
Pretti's stock has gone way down with the
just released video of him screaming and
spitting in the face of a very calm and under
control ICE Officer, and then crazily kicking
in a new and very expensive government
vehicle, so hard and violent, in fact, that the
taillight broke off in pieces. It was quite a
display of abuse and anger, for all to see,
crazed and out of control. The ICE Officer
was calm and cool, not an easy thing to be
under those circumstances! MAKE AMERICA
GREAT AGAIN

@lbc.co.uk Could someone at LBC give credit to the SNP for policies (often furiously opposed by the labour MSPs) that have resulted in fewer school exclusions? It is clear labour are trying to make changes without ever mentioning they already are in place in Scotland. You wonder why we vote SNP?

And the job of Starmer's fake Labour Party is to put in place all the authoritarian tools (ie Palantir) and then hand over to Farage. Its the same billionaire and corporate money behind Labour, Reform and Tory. They put on a different theatrical show but core policies are the same.
