The greatest negative impact on our cost of living is Brexit. Promoted by Nigel Farage The runner up in this category is the invasion of Ukraine, perpetrated by Russia. Who promotes and is funded by Russia? Nigel Farage Anyone notice a link?

Under international law, Palestinians detained by Israel in the occupied territories aren't hostages, but rather protected persons under the Fourth Geneva Convention, because the occupation has been declared illegal You’ll notice MSM report Palestinians are “prisoners” but Israelis are “hostages”

Many Palestinians Israel has locked up have never been charged or convicted of a crime Those convicted, were done so in a laughably biased Israeli “justice” system that often hears a case for 60 seconds or less before rendering judgement 96% of cases ended in conviction, while .3% in exoneration

Absolutely ragin’! 🤬🤬🤬 Someone dinged my car door in a carpark & drove off! Spoke to the adjacent community cafe/leisure centre but there are no cameras covering the council carpark. You can’t put that dent in someone’s door and leg it without knowing you did it. Some folk are utter 💩s!!! 🤬

This will undoubtedly not have been reported anywhere by the BBC.

A huge relief to see the Israeli hostages released and the joy on family faces. But the fact that Israel has banned Palestinians from celebrating the release of their relatives, posting on social media or giving interviews - most held without charge - tells us how much there is to go.

How the hell can you put 'dies' what is wrong with you Sky News are you denying death now?

A first look at tomorrow's front page of The National 📰 How genocide happened

Hypothetical Ukrainian A-10s. Beautiful. My sister is a fighter pilot, I'm former SOF. We have VERY different opinions about A-10s and my opinion is really the only one that actually matters. Why? Because I depended on this machine and she never has. Ukraine needs these warbirds. Slow and lethal!

In a nutshell.

Honestly, it’s exhausting that people think Gazans should only ask for help to survive to eat, to stay alive but not to dream, to study, or to rebuild their lives. Wanting education, safety, and a future isn’t greed. It’s being human.

How about ‘cut him off forever and turn all the evidence over to the police’?

What you won’t see on the BBC: Scotland Drug Deaths ↓13% Alcohol Deaths ↓7% Knife Homicides no increase/decrease Homelessness Deaths ↓18% England Drug Deaths ↑11% Alcohol Deaths ↑7% Knife Homicides in 2023/24 ↑8% Homelessness Deaths ↑ 16%

The Grifter in Chief, Chazo Saxe-Coburg Gotha and Slumlord Willie’s state benefits have just been increased by 45% to £132,000,000.00. Thankfully the Red Tories have managed to cover the extra Royal costs by hammering the poor, the old, the sick & disabled with brutal benefits cuts. #NotMyKing 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺

Excellent series of posts from James. Not quite a thread of 5 points but well worth checking his timeline to pull all his points together. 👏👏👏

If Reform did irony! 👇

“Donald Trump transparently deserves some credit for this [ceasefire].” Conservative MP Nigel Huddleston thinks the guy who bankrolled a genocide — that has bombed and starved 20,000 kids to death — deserves credit for deciding to stop after 2 full years of carnage. #bbcqt

Spain has made it a serious crime with up to Life imprisonment if anyone sends arms to Israel. The rest of the world need to do the same. No weapons for War Criminals.

There is a controversial study from 2015 that correlated circumcision with higher instances of autism -- I don't have the scientific literacy to evaluate the responses to it -- but the Tylenol part seems purely invented.

😂😂😂 👏👏👏

This really should be focussing Scottish minds on gaining our independence. 👇 A Reform GovUK would be a genuine threat to our way of life, look at Trump’s America for a preview of our future if we remain within the U.K.

Scotland will do so much better, for all of our people, if we run our own affairs As England lurches into the arms of far right, #ScottishIndependence is crucial.

Got this rant via our walking group emails + some to\fro-ing generally lambasting the SNP for the state Scotland is in.

This is the ultimate aim of Project 2025 and the Heritage Foundation that is underpinning Trump’s tendency to autocracy and narcissism. US Democracy will die under these pressures and intimidations. That is why resistance is imperative. This will be the new norm across both sides of the Atlantic.

"15 years ago, Polish workers came here to find opportunity. Now Poland is growing twice as fast as we are," says Kemi Badenoch. Any ideas what may have happened in the interim?

Whilst it was heartbreaking hearing the Israeli mother on BBC5Live talking about kissing the vehicle in which her son was murdered 2 years ago today, how many of the 1000s of Palestinian mothers whose children were murdered at the hands of the IDF or GHF have BBC interviewed? #BBCbias RIP 🇮🇱 🇵🇸

This is a lie. There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years. But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

Scottish Flotilla activist Margaret Pacetta has arrived back in Glasgow after being detained in Israel She describes the 'awful' conditions she was subjected to

Today is the 2nd anniversary of a heinous crime perpetrated by Hamas against innocent Jewish people. Families of hostages are still suffering today. Shortly after, the Israeli Gov’t began perpetrating a crime against innocent Palestinians living in Gaza. That crime is still being perpetrated today.

It helps to be able to spell the country you say only you are competent enough to run.

We need #ScottishIndependence and a return to the EU. Before we lose even more than we already have under Westminster rule.

I read this with a tear in my eye, a great player and a respected character on and off the field. My heart goes out to Lewis and his family.

4 Scots are being illegally held by Israel, it’s not even listed on the BBC Scotland website. Nothing, nada! Then again, that’s no surprise, is it?

Just got a haircut, and my lovely barber, a Turkish guy who employs 6 people, and has a wife who's an IVF technician, is shutting up shop and moving to another country because his Indefinite Leave to Remain is under threat by these venal, stupid, posturing politicians, left and right.
