the Scottish Ministers consider that the material considerations do not outweigh the identified policy conflicts with the development plan in this instance.
Formal Decision
46. Accordingly, for the reasons given above, the Scottish Ministers hereby dismiss the appeal and refuse planning permission in principle for the proposed development.
🚨 WE WON - Flamingo Land has finally been rejected!
For the last decade we have fought to save Loch Lomond from this destructive mega-resort plan.
Thank you to the 155,000 people who joined our movement. This is your victory 💚

Ever wonder why Reform UK are always well ahead in 'Find Out Now' Polls,
It's because 'Find Out Now' is owned by Chris Holbrook, a major Reform Ltd backer and donor.

Children raped and killed. American citizens shot in the street. Immigrants illegally shackled, tortured, killed. Journalists arrested.
While a $300 million ballroom is constructed and a trash documentary released.

This is not 'decent moderate politics'
It is Far Right demonisation of immigrants which will make them second class 'citizens' (if they don't get deported for 20 years)
It will not solve the problem it will increase racism and empower Reform all while driving voters from Labour

Making everyone in the UK carry a "Brit card" will go down like a bucket of cold sick amongst Republicans in Northern Ireland and the 50% of Scots who support independence would rather shite in their hands and clap. Typically tone deaf Anglo-British nationalist bullshit.

I mean it, Scotland. We’ve got to ditch England and save ourselves. The union is done. England is done. Scotland can still be saved if we go it alone, but we’ve gotta go fast and go soon. We’re in a burning building. Only a fool stays to die.

Nigel Farage is, and always was, far right, from his schooldays. The squeamishness about calling him out is one of the reasons we’re in such a terrible state today.

A month ago, the famine in Gaza, deliberately created by the Israeli government, was officially confirmed by UN agencies. Since then, there has been an eerie silence in the media here, with far fewer reports than there were before. But it hasn't ended. On the contrary, it has intensified.

We need a new Rent Act
The issue of rents was on my mind yesterday, with both a post and a video on the subject. So, last night I did a little back-reading on the subject to remind myself just what has changed over my time ...
The UK's current rental market sector was created by Thatcher with the deliberate intention of supporting landlords and exploiting tenants, which is precisely what it has done. It is time to change that. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/08...

Asylum Seekers are not an inherent threat. Too often, we forget that there are many vulnerable women and children among them too.
41% of Asylum Applicants are women & children according to Home Office stats for the year to March 2025.
