Remembering revolutionary Che Guevara on the anniversary of his death , 8th October 1967 , at the hands of US imperialism and their lackeys.

“Whenever death may surprise us, let it be welcome if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.”

Pretty much sums up what we have known all along with the Tories. I predict that if Badenoch gets ousted as leader & Jenerick gets in. That may herald an alliance between the Tories & Farage. Then God help us, God help us all.

Thames Water are £20 Billion in debt, Just let that sink in for a moment (pardon the pun). £20 BILLION.

Compared to Scottish Water (owned by the Scottish government) which has a smaller debt 0f £4.5 Billion which is underwritten by the SG & a zero interest rate.

Ever get the feeling that the reason Starmer says that he opposes genocide is because a trip to the Haig along with Netenyhu might upset his social calendar?

Kemi Badenoch reminded Laura Kuenssberg that America, Australia & Canada are not in the European Convention on Human Rights, & Geography entered the chat
Thankfully she stopped short & never mentioned Africa

There comes a point where mocking them for this sort of thing would be considered needlessly cruel to a vulnerable minority group. We're not there yet, but it's definitely getting closer by the month...
Great advert for Haribo Starmix mind you.🤣

I get that, I really do. I used to live in Hersham, Surrey. I never had a Land Rover either. And I lived in the pub I worked in.

Proof that this Israeli lapdog is as weak as dishwater. Bereft of a spine, any integrity, And bereft of moral fibre.

This should allow @johnswinney.bsky.social to go above his head & intercede & advocate on the hostages behalf which includes Scottish citizens .

A pro-Indy majority (inc the Greens) should invoke democracy at Holyrood to argue that it should be allowed for them to ask the people. That has been denied by unionist parties as they say 2014 was 'Once in a generation'. Yet Ireland can ask every 7 years.

Search YouTube on Lesley Riddoch & watch one of her chats on the economy. She is far from being a 'generalisation'of a strong woman.

Next time a unionist tells you Scotland can't afford to be independent, just remind them that the amount of Scottish taxation that went to the UK treasury in 2025 was £88.5 billion. the block grant Scotland received from UK treasury in 2025 was £47.7 billion.

This ruling was also posted on the DWP website back in 2014 in response to the lies of Better Together (punted by, among many other liars, the current UK Territorial Secretary of North Britain).

Suspected arson attack on a Mosque in PeaceHaven, E Sussex resulting in significant damage which police investigating say is a hate crime as well as willful arson & fire raising.

That could be one train of thought, But we are all not getting any younger. I want to be European again, I want to travel to Europe un-pinged by the current conditions that are imposed upon us.
I also with to die in a free & Independent country & not by the hands of Westminster & the crown.

PM Starmer is cowing down when Israel is mentioned a Coward is not what Voter’s want as leader of a democracy. Starmer is an embarrassment to freedom of speech expression to demonstrate. Starmer is gradually putting nails in the coffin of this Labour government forgot winning elections you’ve lost.

No political party is perfect, Not even the SNP, But compared to the party's who favour this despotic, Unequal union they come pretty damn close.
What has been achieved policy wise in Scotland is chalk & cheese to Britain, And yet there are those who take this for granted & still vote for the union

Why would Starmer never want to have this conversation?
Well for a start no PM would want to face King Lug Ears to tell him that they have lost the cash cow & he would need to pay for his royal estates in Scotland.
Second they would be fucked without our energy sector........
Need I go on?

Before anyone clutches at their Chelsea perils to say ''No they can't''. You know that once we leave the UK & the joke (which was designed by a Tory) of the funding formula (Barnett Consequentials) would be replaced with a more fairer system provided by the EU, same as any other Independent nation.

BREAKING NEWS:

Nigel Farage's personal library has just burnt down. The fire was so small that it consumed both books he owned, Problem is he had'nt finished colouring in & joining the dots on the second one.
