Can we just ban them now? You can't buy more than two fucking packets of ibuprofen at a time but you can freely buy explosives at this time of year because it's tradition.
Fuck all the way off.

This is no way to treat our veterans Prime Minister.

It’s now over a month since PM agreed on BBCBreakfast to meet with the nuclear test veterans (having kept them waiting more than a year to discuss the justice & compensation Labour committed to in opposition) & still no date offered by his office

These national heroes have now waited more than a year for a meeting with Keir Starmer to discuss the justice & compensation Labour committed to in opposition. They are now in their eighties and are dying waiting for justice. This is no way to treat veterans Prime Minister

Ok that’s nonsense. We do own the liabilities at present! ISOLUS is already here, ditto the harm at Rosyth and Faslane and the disposals from Hunterston and CC. The rest has always had to go to Sella or the US. If you know more you’re deliberately being argumentative. If you know less, learn.

What?! I may have paid for them but I have never wanted them. And I don’t now. And even Labour used to be against them.

Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

The Irish experience terrifies the SNP leadership,and they are desperate to avoid anything similar happening in Scotland. Unionist politicians know that, and it emboldens them.

Scottish sovereignty would have to be asserted, as it was in Ireland in 1919. I'm not sure that @johnswinney.bsky.social is there yet! 🤨

But the question of the sovereignty of the people of Scotland has been debated, and contested in the courts, since at leat the 1950s.

Interesting video. The central point - the UK can't continue as is - is correct, and that any other solutions mean England's accepting serious limitations and "being nice".

Small questions occur:

Firstly, how are Sco, Eng, and Wal "sovereign" and how is that "recognised in international law"?

The day I learned that Dick Cheney died is the same day that I learned that the West has extorted, pillaged, looted and stolen $152,000,000,000,000 from the rest of the world since 1960.
These things are very much connected.
Cheney was one of the chief terrorists.

Rich countries drained $152tn from the global South since 1960

Today he posted: “The Unconstitutional Redistricting Vote in California is a GIANT SCAM in that the entire process, in particular the Voting itself, is RIGGED. All ‘Mail-In’ Ballots, where the Republicans in that State are ‘Shut Out,’ is under very serious legal and criminal review. STAY TUNED.”

Although Trump pushed Texas’s initiation of this partisan redistricting, he seemed surprised that Democrats were retaliating.

CG in retirement @goldishcj4.bsky.social · 1d

California voters were considering Proposition 50, which would redistrict the state to add five more Democratic-dominated districts until 2030 to counteract Texas’s unusual mid-cycle redistricting that adds additional Republican-dominated districts.
