It's going to be a long run-up to the May elections with crap like this coming from the Hootsman. No mention of Tory austerity or Brexit forced on Scotland & only a brief mention that schools is a local authority decision. Just more "Scotland is Shit" from a paper that used to promote the country.

The award of this joke of a Peace Prize to Trump is a bloody disgrace. It's like pandering to a toddler. FIFA should be ashamed. It has not displayed any morals for many years but this is the lowest of the low. 😑 @fifaworldcup26.bsky.social

Meanwhile, on X - Grok is denying the Holocaust... and all our institutions and politicians and media giants just stay there like that's perfectly OK.

What does it take to get people to leave that horror show??? Seriously.

No, independence supporters’ compaints about BBC bias are nothing like Trump There is certainly no love lost between supporters of Scottish independence and the BBC. It is however egregious I’m-not-a-nationalist-I’m-British bollocks to suggest, as former Labour …

The BBC lies, misrepresentation and failure to report news when it is positive about Scotland has been ongoing for decades. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2025/11/12/n...

Brilliant and, sad to say, all too accurate about BBC's political coverage

When the most powerful man in the world goes about the place spreading very dangerous nonsense about paracetamol and vaccines, millions of people will sit up and listen.

It's consequence free for him but this is going to kill a lot of kids and make a lot more children very ill indeed.

AC/DC. β€œLet There Be Rock.” 1978. Apollo Theater, Glasgow. Angus Young β€” the man is so lost in his own playing, he is in a trance.

What happened to Charlie Kirk is also what happened to 20 children (ages 6 and 7) at the Sandy Hook Elementary School.

I don’t remember the right being this upset back thenβ€”do you? 🀨

The Martyrdom of Saint Lucy The right is desperately seeking to make a martyr out of Lucy Connolly in order to distract from the real victims of the hate she helped to spread, argues Otto English

Lucy Connolly was convicted of inciting racial hatred, and her tweet was part of the tinder that lit violence, intimidation, looting, and thuggery across England last year.

The fact Reform conference gave her a standing ovation says everything about that movement.

How Israel Was Created
How Israel Was Created YouTube video by AJ+

This is probably one of the BEST things about the creation of Israel, on YouTube.

It's short but makes sense of what is a hugely complex 'thing'.

Most UK people know little, about the crucial part, the British Empire played.

I watched BBC Scotland News tonight at 6pm for the first time in years. They happily broadcast Trump's lies about there being a 50 year block on another Indyref but did they clarify or fact check his utter garbage and lies? Of course they didn't!! More crap to feed to the gullible😑🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Precious Union - Indy PosterBoy Download this design as a printable PDF document, perfect for printing using your home inkjet or laser colour printer at A5, A4 or even as big as A3 size.

Biggest indy puzzle for me over the last few years is why unionists haven't been relentlessly - and I mean *relentlessly - hammered with simple question - if Westminster won't allow indyref2, what *is* the democratic process for Scotland to decide its own future?

Glasgow bus passengers warned ahead of huge Orange Walk this weekend 😒🚨

The Orange Lodge arseholes love 'the good old days'. The late 17th Century.

It's 2025, these wankers are Scotland's shame.

Absolutely incredible turnout for Budapest Pride! So proud of all the organizers, including some old friends, who estimate hundreds of thousandsβ€” major embarrassment to Orban

Trooping the Colour, how much do you pay for this ridiculous charade?

Β£20,000,000

That is 800 Nurses, 500 Doctors or 1000 Teachers.

We need all of them, we don't need this.

As concerns about biased media boosting of Reform and Farage grow in England (seriously people, where have you been living!? 😳), Scotland looks on and gives bitter laughs.

My family arrived in the UK by small boats

Economic migrants escaping poverty, famine & some came to invade the UK

They were from Ireland, France (Normans), Italy (Romans) & Norway (Vikings)

Anyone else think that small boats might be a distraction to more important problems

For all the journalists, newspapers and broadcasters sucking up to Farage and Reform: you may well get this man into power with your propaganda, but rest assured if he ever takes office the first throat he will cut will be that of the press. You're cheerleading for your own undertaker you damn fools

I see that some southern-based people are struggling with the idea that Scotland may be a colony of England. It may help if they try looking at things the other way around . .

If 'business like and quietly productive' means completely ignoring Scotland's needs and the views of the democratically elected Scottish Govt fair enough. Labour are doing nothing for Scotland. Labour MPs in Scotland are bloody useless with no voice or influence. 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
