Funny never seen Farage or MSM paying much focus to this.....https://www.gmp.police.uk/news/greater-manchester/news/news/2025/april/tenth-man-part-of-blackrod-grooming-gang-convicted-of-sexual-offences-against-girls-under-16-handed-15-years/

From 30mins...listen to Richard Murphy, giving his thoughts on trust with BBC. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Scotland doesn't control energy, Broken Britain wastes £180,000 every hour switching off wind turbines and overpaying gas generators to switch on. That's £649,373,633 so far this year! wastedwind.energy

Israel is a country not a religion.

@lesleyriddoch.bsky.social All the very best of luck, in #BBCQT tonight. Majority of Audiance, Panels and host, all against Independence. Hopefully ye can land a few truths and reality to get others thinking. Afraid SNP are toothless at the moment. Disability cuts will affect Money in Scotland

@lesleyriddoch.bsky.social Gutted to hear of Pats retirement. Please pass on our thanks for all his work in trying to make life better a place for everyone. Podcast has been a regular Light in our weekly life, knowing that Scotland is a better place for having people like you both in it.❤️❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Regarding 2026 Election. seriously hope @thesnpmedia.bsky.social pull up their grown up socks...Shouldn't rely on ppl happy to have ScotParty in Scotland, and Liebour in WM. Independence needs to be fought on certain issues proving we can't progress without our own Indy. Msg needs to be clear.

Russell Findlay at #PMQS "these parasites grow rich by preying on society's most vunerable" for a minute I thought he was talking about Unionist Parties based in London, instead of criminal gangs ...both are a scurge on society. Pity they are both supported by folk being blinded by their actions.

@lewisgoodall.com Caught some of yer show today. Intergenerational issues..Any generation will try to do best it can.Many issues today, comes from Thatchers decions I.e selling rented housing on cheap, and not replacing stock. Media in this country is not free, and certainly don't give whole story.

As BBC UK report on rail ticket unfairness in England, a reminder of what we've got: talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2025/04/01/r...

30billion to get rid of Chagos Islands. Scotland will leave for hee haw....#ScottishIndependence #FeeScotland #ScotsNotSubsidised www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/05...

Listen to Robin Mcalpine on Call Kaye ....a very different and more accurate reason for Starmers defence reviews vm.tiktok.com/ZNdB47c4p/

Still appropriate today

As soon as Greg Jackson, boss of Octopus Energy, explains how Scotland could have the cheapest energy in Europe the presenter dashes to end the interview. The Union is bad for our economy, our heating bills, Scottish jobs and our place in Europe.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Normal to be in tears listening to Brian Conely, todays Tears not all with Laughter. Brilliant episode..Check out this episode of Full Disclosure with James O'Brien on Global Player - www.globalplayer.com/podcasts/epi...

Whoops. The Herald lets a *positive* story about Scotland slip through. Someone will get their jotters. www.heraldscotland.com/news/2520028...

Typical...that folk still rely on printed press and Council TV news, are hoovering up information from Reform...

UKReform is the next 'Trojan Horse' which has arrived in our politics. It is designed to infiltrate where disillusioned voters live. It will offer them what they think is missing, Policies are shaped to chide their fears from Immigration to benefits & public services. But they are not the remedy.

@lbc.co.uk @mrjamesob.bsky.social Jenrick, has seen Reform doing well with basic politics, focusing on what annoys ordinary person...So simply picking something that Reform hasn't mentioned yet....You're totally correct, once a SelfServative always a SelfServative.

@lbc.co.uk @mrjamesob.bsky.social Jenrick and current issue with folk not paying fares..YES, doing it to keep himself current and relevant, similar to what Paul Sweeney (Labour MP) did in 2019 when he lost seat...he went round drug areas in Glasgow, pushing focus, probably also for selfish reasons.

Wales, will be getting pumped for its water, even more.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social www.believeinscotland.org/scottish-wat...

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Re Water companies.as stated Water is still in Public hands in Scotland for the public, however for businesses in Scotland we have to pay private companies for Water? Strange, but maybe related to businesses being GB wide?? Public Water paid through residential council tax.

Funny how these cretins are so keen on immigration , yet want to no let 5.5 million alleged spongers leave U.K....why is that...

@stevebraysodem.bsky.social nice to see Steve on C4 news earlier walking past presenter....me and wife both let out a whhheeyyy ...

@lesleyriddoch.bsky.social Has Scotlands fishing industry being sold down the river again? Unionist parties have managed for years to convince Fishing industry and Fishing towns that they are the parties can be trusted. When the hell will our political parties wake up and put Scotland before Party.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Your arguments for folk that voted for brexit...is almost identical, for the people that voted against Scottish Independence in 2014. Might of MSM against Indy....and still 45% voted YES...Wonder why reform happy not to get rid of Scotland too??? Myth that Scots Subsided

@lbc.co.uk National UK debt is 2.8Trillion....not 1 Trillion as quoted by a caller at 230pm....good to give listeners the truth...

👇

Labour are planning to nationalise British Steel - to save the Scunthorpe plant from closing down. Why didn't Labour do the same when Scotland's last oil refinery announced it was closing down? Scottish jobs are an afterthought for Labour.

Why are @snp.org not playing hard ball with these companies, re PFI deals...we should not be paying much more than it cost to build these.....and this needs to be shared much more, cannot trust Labour, irrespective where they are...#Liebour

38 years ago.....We are still being taken for a ride. youtu.be/bPNasRD_X0Q?...

@octopus.energy Emailed Octopus yesterday, how long does it take for a reply?? Thanks

Looks like parts of #Hampden needing refreshed..National Stadium needs to be better..

Reason I searched this, Drove past a brand new development, and houses having Gas fitted to these new homes.

@lesleyriddoch.bsky.social re-your your podcast. Thankfully for now in Scotland PIP is now devolved to Scotland (ADP) and is far more friendly than UK PIP..Biannual checks were previously done at a Centre in Dundee, they used to secretly film people coming in Centre and Walking down a long corridor

@lesleyriddoch.bsky.social Currently listening to this week's podcast. Concerned around idea of Labour and Disability cuts. Today my Disabled wife was at DCA for an course run by THAT (Tayside Healthcare Arts Trust). Guess who turned up, probably for a photo...Sarwar and local msp MMarra.

Also remains reason why we lost in 2014...#ScottishIndependence

#CovidMemories Right at start of Pandemic, before lockdown started....I was a Mgr in large Retail unit, one early evening a Female came in with this full Hazard suit, to top it off she had Black High Heels on...suppose only a sign of what sights was still to come. 😂😂😂😂

Beat the urgent deadline to boost your State Pension by £10,000s. This is a snippet, don’t act without watching the full step-by-step incl how to get NI years for free on ITVX: www.itv.com/watch/the-ma... Or reading my full guide on MoneySavingExpert: www.moneysavingexpert.com/latesttip/#h...

@martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com Myself and Spouse, both retired at 53 and 46. Due to medical issues. I already checked, HMRC stated we had both paid full contributions for full state pension, although not till 2035/2036 before we receive it. Does it matter if we pay zero NI now until 2035/36

HardBall fae Trump paying off??

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Trump playing hardball paying off?? Still dinae want him anywhere near Scotland...#TrumpIsaC#nt

@reuters.com Looks like Trump playing HardBall with Ukraine has paid off for US. Zelinsky planning to sign deal for minerals etc, to work under Trumps plan for peace deal plans.....

@mrjamesob.bsky.social is Fridays ambush. Simply a Trump plan to put Zelensky on the back foot, so he agrees peace deal for less, that suits Trump/Putin more...so simply a tactic in his Art of the deal, Playbook.

From Bulgaria’s best cartoonist, Christo Komarnitski

Disgusting how Zelinsky was ambushed by Trump and his merry band in the oval office. Lots more happened in this meeting than what has been showed...

Simon Harris Deputy Prime Minister of Ireland 👏
