Scottish, independence supporting old bloke who once met Ozzy.
What we see with the Republican Party and the Tory Party, is self interest and a lack of a discernible backbone.

An absolutely compelling argument for Scottish independence. The only impediment the narrator offers is the potential trade barriers and other economic hostility our southern neighbour might place in the way. Presumably those would also affect the hostile neighbour.

The decline of the American empire has been accelerated by Trump, and the credit card is maxed out, the party is over . The world is moving on, it will be painful, but the genie is out of the bottle, and no amount of bravado or military posturing will put it back in.

Did you hear the one about the country that voted in a racist because he told them some immigrants in boats were the problem, and then he privatised the NHS, that was short of immigrants to staff it. The Daily Heil and the BBC have a lot to answer for

Farage, supported by the media, sold a hugely damaging Brexit on the back of demonising immigrants. Now the same guy might get into power, and will tear apart the NHS, on the back of demonising immigrants and Starmers incompetence. Incredible times.

The US playbook, well thumbed over decades, of how to undermine democracies has come in very handy closer to home. Difference is, no external country can engineer regime change in the White House (unless they sell US debt and crash the economy)

Independence is normal.
And if independent countries like Ireland, Denmark and Finland can be wealthier and fairer than the UK, so can Scotland.

Today we learned that the Prime Minister of Israel repeatedly raped, choked and beat Virginia Guiffre and the media today won't even say his name or the country he was the Prime Minister of.
It's impossible to hate the media enough.

If the US and UK are indicative of anything, it is that as long as the media is willing, any right wing politician can sell anything, no matter how abhorrent, and the public will buy it. Hate is always an easy sell.

What Trump is doing to US citizens now, the Pound Shop Garage will do to the UK if Starmers ineptitude ushers him in as PM. Time for Scotland to climb in the escape pod.

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

Jeffries: "You've got Leavitt, who's sick, she's out of control. I'm not sure if she's just demented, ignorant, a stone cold liar, or all of the above.

You know when Trump said he would use troops in US cities, and there was no need for more elections? Maybe more Americans should have believed him, rather than assuming he was havering, and really just meant to build the wall and play golf.
