My latest blog piece, Emily Thornberry's comments on rejoining the EU without a referendum lay bare the English exceptionalism which led to Brexit in the first place. The EU is going to need proof public opinion has shifted. The EU is not the hokey cokey. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/10/14/e...

Emily Thornberry’s EU English exceptionalism

Good morning 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Scotland was torn away from the EU. We said remain but we were completely ignored. Turns out Scotland was correct. What else will the UK inflict on Scotland against our wishes? Our ruin at the British Establishment whim is a fact. Can we must at least try and stop it happening ?...

I'll keep saying it. He's not up to the job of being PM of the UK as he doesn't think outside the English box. The speech appears to have gone down a storm in England. Not so in Scotland. He will make the label last PM of the UK a reality if he continues to belittle and insult the Celts.

In Scotland, there is free personal care for all adults in need. This covers help with personal hygiene, continence, diet, mobility and simple treatments. The upper threshold for residential care is £35,000. In England, social care is fully means-tested and the upper capital limit is only £23,250.

Rishi Sunak said he had no knowledge of his wife’s Non-Dom tax status, which swindled the UK tax payer of up to £20milion. Farage & his dodgy £5million. A SNP member embezzled £400,000 from fellow SNP members and suddenly its open season on malfeasance. Sickening double standards.
