Incessant and relentless lying about Scotland from BBC.

Just like the BBC in Scotland, Laura Kuenssberg is stepping up the deliberate errors to knock The SNP. Twice she claimed the UK Gov was supplying £10bn to build warships on the Clyde. This is false. The £10bn will come from Norway after it signed a deal with BAE systems.

A 100% reduction in price means the price drops to zero.
Any more would imply the price becomes negative, which doesn’t make sense in standard pricing—unless someone is paying you to take the product!
This is the POTUS talking irrationally. Showing how far gone he is and no one challenged him! 🙄

Mark Twain said, “Never tell the truth to people who are not worthy of it.”
Trump basically never tells the truth to anyone. Make of that what you will.

'When wealth is passed off as merit, bad luck is seen as bad character. This is how ideologues justify punishing the sick and the poor. But poverty is neither a crime nor a character flaw. Stigmatise those who let people die, not those who struggle to live.'

I know we can be too critical of Scotland, but if this team gets to the World Cup finals, I fear the worst.

Westminster caused this cost of living crisis - and they’re unable and unwilling to fix it.

Independence is how we raise your living standards, grow our economy and make Scotland’s energy wealth work for the people who live here.

I gave up on Question Time a while ago because it had become no more than a platform for Fiona Bruce's prejudices. I see nothing has changed.
