Trump International to receive £180k from Scottish Government for tournament THE Scottish Government has announced that £180,000 of public money will be given to Trump International in Aberdeenshire for a golf tournament…

What a stupid fucking decision!

This verifying being an adult, and companies gaining access to personal information, makes me uneasy.
We are encouraged to stay safe, don’t give out personal details and now because the government change the rules, we’re supposed to believe that’s okay.
Data breaches are more common these days.

Absolutely this

Trump's visit to Scotland is a business trip. It's going to cost £millions to organise and police. Why should the Scottish government have pay?
Trump believes we must all pay our way for defence. I'm sure he'll understand.

BREAKING: Scotland’s Climate Secretary has called on a UK minister to retract his 'inaccurate and misleading' comments regarding the quality of water in Scotland

Labour’s Steve Reed said that pollution levels in Scotland are 'worse than they are in England'

@krishgm.bsky.social why are you letting Steve Reed lie about Scottish Water?

You are one of the best journalists and yet you still never challenge lies about Scotland

Do better

The BBC is actively working against the best interests of our country (Scotland) to ensure power over us is maintained by the euling establishment in their own mother country (England).
How long are we prepared to let them get away with this?

-The protection of their best interests over ours.

Guys! They are NOT on your side.

Do you really want to trade off all your hard-earned rights and much more for some rhetoric about banning boats?

Scotland’s drinking water is the best in Europe and is ranked second in the world but not reported by ‘our’ media? Image – Holyrood Magazine – ‘Quality of Scotland’s drinking water improves in 2016’ – before Tory Lord Ashcroft bought it to foul its coverage. By JB In February…

UK Labour allowed to lie about nationalised Scottish Water again on BBC this morning, unchallenged by this fact:

They mentioned it in Wales for a few years BUT absolutely no mention of Scotland allowing it for 10yrs.

We are simply being airbrushed out of anything in uk now.

If John Swinney or anyone in the SNP had written a letter threatening the funding of renewables or an entire developing industry, the noise would be so loud that it would split Mars into two. The media mothership would be landing on Holyrood, police vans

Richard Murphy: I went on the BBC today. Here's why it got fiery This story has been published by The National in the last couple of hours and refers to an interview I did with BBC Radio Scotland this morning:

Well done Richard the BBC Scotland presenter should apologise and resign she was an absolute disgrace 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Keir Starmer suspends Labour MPs for breaching party discipline Neil Duncan-Jordan, Brian Leishman and Chris Hinchliff have had the whip removed, meaning they will sit as independents in the Commons.

Anyone now NOT wanting Scottish Independence has taken leave of their senses.

I'm just making something clear that everyone should already know.

You can't have democracy when your Media is flooded with the lies of Far Right billionaires and all your politicians are bought by them.

Get rid of both those things and democracy might have a chance.

Whoop-Di-Doo!
Can anyone tell me exactly what benefits Scotland, in this "good news" story?
Radioactive leaks?
Cancer cases rising in the surrounding areas?
Even more indesructible radioactive material?
Thank you, Secretary Murray, for descending upon us with these glad tidings, you f#cking TRAITOR.

Stay young – the online world isn’t designed for the old Technology should empower, not exclude. For many, ageing means lost independence in a digital online world built without them in mind

If you’ve ever helped an older neighbour navigate an app, call a helpline or read a tiny screen – you’ve witnessed digital exclusion first-hand.

We must stop designing systems that exclude.

Kate Moore reports

Well done to The SNP 💛

The last time Labour proposed this in England was under Corbyn. And Starmer has even u-turned on his promise to reduce the maximum fine private parking firms can charge.

If Labour got control of our Government, they'd re-introduce charges.

Vote SNP to keep Labour out.

This is a major confirmation, from a high status independent source, but ignored by Scottish media, of what the SNP is achieving in government - share very widely including with your MP and MSP

Quite possibly some of the most important news of our lives

But how many will care?

I guess not many because, well blah…

This human lack of attention span looks like it might be pretty terminal

Most of the wealth/land in Scotland is registered offshore. It's a scandal that doesn't get enough attention. They need to start paying, not stripping money out of Scotland into their shell companies.

UK Free Zones Will See Corporations Hoover Up All Public Services Starmer's June 2025 policy paper Industrial Strategy Zones Action Plan is primed to merge the Tories' 12 Freeports and 74 SEZs

Read this about a cesspit of corruption called SEZs and Free Ports.

We should be seriously worried about the criminal corruption and direction of corporate exploitation Starmer is creating!!
