When will the world see what is happening, More importantly when will they admit what is happening?

This morning I have written to the Cabinet Secretary for Justice @angelaconstance.bsky.social MSP to register our concern over plans by the Home Secretary to provide new protest policing powers to police forces in England and Wales and to ascertain if the CabSec intends to mirror this in Scots law.

“Un-British”? The PM of the country that invaded, pillaged and exploited nearly 90% of the world has the gall to lecture anyone about morality.
No nation can take the moral high ground when it stood by as Israel raped, tortured and killed innocent Palestinians - all streamed live in 4K.

Scotland thrives because people choose to make it their home. Migration isn’t something to fear, it’s the lifeblood of our communities and keeps our cities alive, our towns dynamic, and our society forward-looking. It’s one of Scotland’s greatest assets and we should be celebrating that!
The implication from Labour is that we, migrants, don't contribute enough, don't integrate enough, don't work enough.
Meanwhile I've volunteered in political activism for no pay, I've taken Gàidhlig evening classes, I make a living as an artist creating abstract renditions of Scottish landscapes.

I write a lot about how I see hope. I have poems about how hope doesn’t feel positive to me – I know its effect is positive, but it’s not a nice feeling. It hurts. In movies, when hope sparks…

This is ridiculous in the extreme. The fact the Tangerine Tyrant is over here (despite most of us being in opposition to it and only 16% of Brits having a positive view of Trump) and the police are doing everything they can to remove any visible opposition is pathetic.
Protesters in Britain projected images of President Trump and Jeffrey Epstein onto Windsor Castle on Tuesday night before the president arrived for a state visit. More protests are planned for Wednesday.

This claim is baffling. The Met have witnessed many violent far right protests. It was obvious participants would be up for a scrap.

Why aren’t tax payers kicking up a fuss when far right rabble-rousers roll into their towns for these rallies and tax payers are expected to foot the bill for the law enforcement detail needed to keep them safe? Yes - freedom of speech but it doesn’t extend to personal protection does it?
Security at Charlie Kirk's speaking events and college campus debates around the country varied greatly. Less than two weeks before his death, a California sheriff's department conducted extensive reconnaissance for a speech by Kirk. In contrast, his outdoor event in Utah had far less security.
