I'm not a huge fan of 'Normal People', but after reading this, I ordered a copy of 'Intermezzo'', one of Sally Rooney's other books. I'm defiitely not a fan of the attacks on the author by the vile, authoritarian, genocide-supporting UK Government. A bit of solidarity is in order.

Today's 70% fall in net migration to 205,000 was not one of the six stories in BBC ten o'clock news.

Ta massive assymetry in whether rises in immigration and falls in immigration are considered newsworthy by broadcasters

Down by 140k isn't thought to be.

Up by 140k undoubtedly would be.

The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.

a) "Once in a generation" wasn't said by the SNP and wasn't their policy - it was a campaign comment by Alex Salmond to encourage people to get out and vote.
b) Reeves comments play straight into UN case - i.e. denial of any right to decide Scotland's future.
c) She's only too aware of polling.
Rachel Reeves has been accused of showing an 'astonishing level of arrogance' after she dismissed a second independence referendum if the SNP win a majority at next year's Holyrood election

Today, Labour is going to announce a return to PFI for the NHS- which is a total disaster. But they’ve renamed it the “NHS neighbourhood rebuild”. Don’t be fooled 🚨

Reeves has ruled out a Scottish independence vote - ever. There starts to be an international law case for secession from the UK if democracy is constantly denied Scotland &UK policies repeatedly diminish Scotland’s wellbeing, for instance in closing Grangemouth refinery whilst supporting English.

🟥 If Scotland were an independent country, we would have our own Treasury. We could make our own decisions, instead of waiting for an afterthought from a neighbouring country.

🇬🇧 It says so much about the british media in Scotland that there has been absolutely no mention of this meeting on the bbc,The Hootsman or The Harold

Their propaganda by omission is just an indication of their fear for their union

The unionist media is engaged in an information War on Scotland

I'd like the BBC to explain why, even from his UKIP days, Farage was one of the most regular contributors on #BBCQuestionTime if not *the* most regular. The BBC has done a lot to build his political career. Why?

All the supposedly progressive people saying 'Nigel Farage's racism doesn't matter. His fans love it'.

It matters whether the leader of the party leading all the opinion polls is an outright racist. It matters if he called black people 'wogs' and said 'gas them' to Jews. Not everything is a game

What meaningfully distinguishes a self identified liberal Zionist from a Kahanist if the former can not even say that assisting in the settlement of occupied territory is a red line for them? It seems like then the difference between the two is not substance but rhetoric.

"What's the matter? It's only a bit of banter. Have you no sense of humour?"
The feeble excuse of the racist, misogynist, homophobic bully when challenged since time began.
If you don't challenge, it escalates.

The fact he says it wasn’t hurtful when he couldn’t possibly know, and should say it wasn’t intended to hurt, indicates potential sociopathy. Just to be clear.

As I suspected. The school should use the court to seek an interim interdict. If they break that they go to jail.
This is a bunch of old ppl with nothing better to do but live out their racist fantasies. Any whiff of an arrest and they'll run away.

I don't think anyone was or dared identity themselves as being. If any of them had children at the school, then they must hold the record for pensioners giving birth in Scotland. The police should have moved them on. It's frightening for the kids. This reminds me of NI when🟠 loons picketed a school

How many of these women are related to any children attending the school? Could the school apply for an interim interdict on public safety grounds?
