Again and again this ‘leaving the Country’ threat is trotted out and again and again my answer is…..

Goodfuckingbye.

her testimony is "moot" because she was fired.

A bit like saying the Nuremberg trials were a waste of time because Germany lost.

Robertson has bloviated all his political career and is the very epitome of someone promoted way above and beyond their ability.

Just another past his prime, but believes he remains relevant.

Another mad and dangerous oligarch telling us what is good for us.

Why they are free from regulation in developing AI to a potentially apocalyptic level is beyond me.

Not sure I’ve witnessed such a thin skinned politician in the many years I’ve been following politics.

And that’s without getting in to how odious and over-rated he is.

Johnson is like Trump - not difficult to anticipate just how incompetent/deceitful/unprincipled they both would be long before they were elected; but still…

electorate did so; in the case of Trumpx2

arguably the time in political history when we have never been so badly served by representatives

“Maybe they just don’t care”.

Given how much they have betrayed the whole essence of traditional Labour values we have to conclude they don’t care or….

alternatively it’s they care more about shielding those who already have more than enough and who should be contributing much more to society.

A reminder of how obscene ‘obscene wealth’ is.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Only some “dimwitted Brits” - 62% of Scots voted to remain.

Farage the fraud professes to be on the side of the working class. This is a lie of Trumpian proportions and he’s coming for hard won rights. He will be cribbing from Trumps Project 2025 as well

For those in Scotland, dismantling of Holyrood is also on the agenda

"What Law did he really study"

I think it must be 'Sod's Law' Iris and he's become more than a little expert at it.

Definition: it will always go wrong with the worst possible outcome usually at the worst time.

Ha, ha; very true Michael. I take it all back.

See you when you decide to spend more time here.

Don’t let the bastards grind you down.

Wow, that’s a great fact. Yes, would still be considered a new bridge.
