Think back to 2014. UK gov could not legally refuse a referendum. When a majority government holds a mandate from its manifesto after being voted into office,it is legally obligated to fulfill its promises.The world is watching,Starmer cannot say no if the SNP becomes the majority gov in Scotland

Evidence is appearing that US troops have been told by their commanders that the Iran War is part of "God's plan" citing quotations from the Revaluations about the "end of days". The White House now has a Bible Study leader influencing policy g the Pentagon. So much for separation of church & state.

for a British PM & Cabinet
to continue selling arms

targets the killing of children
and which is thus by definition
a terrorist state ...

I remember The Northern Highland, before the NC500.

Scotland had no facilities and hopeless food. Lots of places were closed.

Now is much better, Scotland is far superior.

The good old days weren't so good.
