#StillYes

Noam Chomsky reveals the secrets of Margaret Thatcher's privatisation.

Defund it, blame State ownership, privatise for pennies, extort you forever.

Just listened to the most distorted report on BBC Radio Scotland about waiting times in #NHSScotland causing additional deaths. No, Helen Puttick people in Scotland do not celebrate more people dying in England, but they are grateful to have the UK's best performing #NHS here.

Inspiring!

If you google Marche des Soldats de Robert Bruce on Youtube you can see how it is still played as a military march in France today. youtu.be/WulAWn_N_O0?...

Wonder what makes up the 41% 🙄

Labour made empty promises to the WASPI women prior to the election.

How many more groups of people will they betray?

The outrageous lies of politicians ought to be published every so often.

He doesn’t know, but worse, he doesn’t know that he doesn’t know. 🤡

7:84 Scotland

Cheviot the stag and the Black black oil

7:84 legacy

Wealth of richest 1% equal to other 99% - Oxfam 2016

Who remembers quality productions of left wing 7:84 Company set up by John McGrath/Elizabeth MacLennan

7% of population in UK owns 84% of wealth - wonder what that figure is now

Arguably most recognised play was Cheviot/Stag/Black black oil

When we ran Scotland for 8 years as a Labour-Lib Dem Executive, We sent £1.5 billion of Scotland's money back to Westminster because we "Didn't have anything to spend it on whatsoever" and now look at us now. Unelected Lords 👇🏻

I agree totally. It's the process of getting it done and the lack of strong argument, and presenting it, that rips one's knitting.

The resistance will be enormous from Westminster. I’m concerned about the ability of those currently in Power 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 to get it done or even started.

It's the Taking it part that appears to be a problem. People elsewhere gave their lives. That is not going to happen here so how!?

How will Scotland achieve Independence?
Anyone?

Say no more

Why is this Never mentioned by Scottish MP's/MSP's. This, if accurate, and i'm not saying otherwise, is a major reason why 2014 failed. Sources say Scotland has over decades contributed billions more than it's granted. Why is this not highlighted by e.g. SNP? It makes no sense.

Interesting, but as most of us knew anyway. A labour FM is a puppet to the PM and the colony will do as the PM says. With SNP in power, they hate it with a passion.
Have a read, from former labour FM Henry McLeish:

Keir Starmer Considers Closing Elon Musk Donations Loophole to Stop 'Foreign Interference' in UK Elections A rumoured $100 million donation from Musk to Nigel Farage's Reform would be banned under the proposal

Keir Starmer's Government has just appointed Baroness Margaret Hodge as its new "Anti Corruption Champion".

Hodge last week backed calls for Starmer to close the loophole allowing foreign billionaires like Elon Musk to bankroll British politicians
