Why I hate Irish bars

💬 On the BBC’s Sunday Show yesterday, Anas Sarwar admitted that Westminster doesn't serve Scotland. This comes after his calls for the PM to resign were ignored.

🥀 Voters in Scotland will see this for what it is: blatant opportunism as Sarwar tries to distance himself from a failing UK Labour Gov.

Many of them are converts. Before the genocide researchers discovered that it was the IS converts, who were the most brutal “settlers”.

To test their allegiance, they should be told, they can only hold one passport, see which one they give up first.
"More than 50,000 soldiers in the Israeli military hold at least one other citizenship, with a majority of them holding US or European passports, information obtained by the Israeli NGO Hatzlacha through Israel’s Freedom of Information Law has revealed."

Very much like the #DarkMoney the Tories used in Scotland under Ruth Davidson when she got a donation off the DUP. I think that the electoral commission need to be far more forensic into where party donations actually come from.
