A thing we could have had in 2022 in Scotland, if Westminster hadn't done the usual and thrown a tantrum, preventing it from being implemented. Here in Copenhagen, returning these three bottles will give DKK 1.50 each - DKK 4.50 is around 52p just now.

We vote for an indyref but Westminster says no. In May Scots rejected Labour's plans for nuclear & city mayors but we may still have them forced on us. Elections in Scotland are becoming meaningless. The media presents this as a challenge for the SNP but it's really a crisis in Scottish democracy.

"Patriotism is a mass psychosis meticulously engineered by the ruling class. They artificially inflate your pride for a dirt patch you do not even own, just to ensure you will gleefully murder a terrified stranger across an imaginary line the second they snap their fingers." Leo Tolstoy

Labour's nuclear energy plans. Like Burnham's mayoralty plans, these were put before the voters in Labour's Holyrood manifesto and utterly rejected. Labour is trying to impose them anyway. This contempt for the democratic process is ignored by the media. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/07/02/l...

Rewriting history! 😡

Westminster manages exactly the same powers as Holyrood, but for England and Wales. Plus it has reserved powers for the whole UK. And yet Westminster costs £700m/yr to run, and Holyrood £100m, excluding how much MP/MSPs cost. The 🇩🇪 Reichstag costs £190m. Value for money?

Here's a few modern terms and what they really mean. 'Data Centers' - Surveillance Network 'Palantir' - CIA Spy Agency 'Cloud Computing' - Stealing your work 'AI' - Stealing your work, profiting from it, and giving you nothing 'Protecting childen' - Spying on everyone

Was catching up this-evening on PBS America's 2 part documentary "Cernobyl - the new evidence". If anyone wants evidence to prove the sheer lunacy of nuclear when it goes wrong or is in the wrong hands, this is it. Scary is an understatement. I'd recorded it but watch it if you can on catch-up.

If the Labour party really wants to introduce the English concept of regional mayors into Scotland then how about putting it in a manifesto and letting voters in Scotland vote on it. Oh. Right. They just did, and went down to their biggest defeat ever in a Holyrood election.

Meanwhile in Scotland…. Scotland has some of Europe's most abundant natural energy resources, but it faces the highest energy transmission charges in all of Europe - set by Westminster. As a result of Westminster mismanagement, Scotland faces higher energy bills than elsewhere in the UK.
