Did you know that since the SNP nationalised Scotrail it has helped to contribute £4Bn to
the Scottish economy, instead of paying out dividends to rich shareholders?

INDEPENDENCE IS NORMAL

Trinidad and Tobago has issued a statement today distancing itself from the ongoing military operations in Venezuela. The statement from the country’s foreign affairs ministry said:

"Trinidad is NOT a participant in any of these ongoing military operations. Trinidad and Tobago continues to maintain peaceful relations with the people of Venezuela."

Bruntons Aero Products site at the Inveresk Industrial Estate in Musselburgh was broken into shortly after midnight on New Year’s Day, ostensibly over links to arms firm Leonardo – an Italian arms giant which supplies Israel with aircraft and parts for aircraft.

Video shared by the protesters online showed computers and manufacturing equipment being hit with large hammers by people wearing black gloves and face-coverings.

@selzero I hope you have THE cardigan.

DAVID Lammy is "letting prisoners on hunger strike die" and must explain why grave concerns about their "inadequate treatment" are being ignored, a group of MPs have said.

The Independent Alliance at Westminster has said serious failures in medical care and communication are placing lives at risk, with Jeremy Corbyn adding he is "astonished" at the lack of urgency from the UK Government.

If you're of a certain vintage you probably had this album. 🙏

Another eyewitness said that the police were quite heavy-handed in how they dealt with the incident.

In the aftermath, a crowd of people could be seen chanting "let him go" and there was a large police presence on the city's Wilson Street.

Police Scotland has been approached for comment.

"Once more, let me remind you what fascism is. I need not wear a brown shirt or a green shirt, Fascism begins the moment a ruling class, fearing the people may use their political democracy to gain economic democracy, begins to destroy political democracy in order to retain its power of exploitation and special privilege."

The 'Collapse' is happening much faster than predicted or expected. Colonialists will expect to colonialise. Scotland has water. englandshire shortly won't. What do you think Westminster/englandshire will do? It's not rocket science.

DONALD Trump "knew about the girls", convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein said in a 2019 email, it has been revealed.

The American president was mentioned in emails released by the House Oversight Committee in the US on Wednesday.

The late paedophile also said in 2011 that the US president had 'spent hours' with a woman later identified as a sex trafficking victim.

THE wife of a British journalist detained by US immigration authorities has described the support offered by the UK Government as “minimal” as she compared Donald Trump’s administration to “the Soviet Union”.

Soumaya Hamdi is married to Sami Hamdi, who was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at San Francisco Airport on Sunday and said she had been given “nothing of substance” from the British FO.

@selzero I think us #Remainers already knew that. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@Nickiquote Mud sticks. No smoke. Release the #EpsteinFiles. If I WASN'T in the files because I wasn't a paedophile I'd definitely want people to know.

Murdering bastards. 🇮🇱

Israeli army confirms it has carried out airstrikes in Rafah – Middle East crisis live

https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2025/oct/19/gaza-ceasefire-israel-hamas-rafah-hostages-middle-east-crisis-live-news-updates

Former foreign secretary David Lammy secretly met with Israeli foreign minister Gideon Sa’ar in London on April 15, during Westminster’s Easter recess, but the Foreign Office has now blocked the publication of any papers linked to the clandestine event.

Scottish Green MSP Patrick Harvie said the “idea that the public cannot see these documents because we might misinterpret them seems extraordinary, and if that excuse is allowed to stand, it would set a dangerous precedent”.

Can't argue.
