I keep posting this quote from Le temps des salauds: Comment le fascisme devient reel, by Hugues Jallon, but it's true.
"Fascism? It begins with madmen, is made real thanks to bastards, and carries on because of morons." (My translation)

"... the next day, when the taps came back on, the water sputtered, but it was still glorious — the famously fresh “cooncil juice” brought to Glasgow from Loch Katrine up in the Trossachs.

41,400 came by boat (4.6% of total immigrants)
18,700 illegal asylum seekers gained citizenship ( 2.5% 45% of illegals)
The population of the UK is 69.5m

Are illegal asylum seekers coming by boat the real issue.

Scotland’s economy is growing while the UK’s is declining.
Latest data shows onshore GDP grew by 0.2% between August and October, and business investment is at a 20-year high.
There is more to do and we will keep working towards a stronger economy, with higher living standards.

Lol! I dont think this is true. I just looked up the definition in my Scottish dictionary and it just said Anas Sarwar. 🤭😂 #ScottishIndependence
Word of the day is ‘quockerwodger’ (19th century): a puppet politician whose strings are pulled entirely by someone else.

During Covid one particular process reassured worried Scots that crisis was being handled as well as it could be by devolved ScotGov without powers WM possesses - daily briefings on TV by FM Sturgeon. Pressure by Jackie Baillie MSP and his Lardship George Foulkes helped to have these *stopped*.

It's bizarre that some Scots would prefer having the English Nationalist and Racist as their Prime Minister!
This is about as far as irony can go.
Absolutely hilarious!

A fascinating and revealing thread.
People from mining areas don't want the pits to reopen. Mining is hard, dangerous work.
What they want is the highly paid jobs that enable their communities to flourish.

Okay, I can't let this one go. I live in Ireland, not the UK, but the use of this image by a supposedly socialist party is so stupid and offensive, I'm going to get stuck in.

Today is #RLSDay which marks the birthday of the Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson who would have been 175 today.
It's also a good day to remember that it is NOT actually his birthday because in 1891 he gave it away to a young girl because she didn't like her birthday. 🧵
