I certainly agree, and hope, that the SNP are within touching distance of a majority, despite the system doing its best to prevent it. However, securing an independence referendum on the back of that majority is, bluntly put, a pipe dream unless the request comes with consequences if it is refused.

Although this is a dramatization, it does go well with what happens when we are not aware of what is happening around us. Know the signs meaning! It. Just. Takes. One. Be sure you can be that one. Save a life you will.

Little can rival an old Scots pine for sheer force of personality and presence. One of the earlier tree species to colonise Ireland after the last Ice Age, pine was thought to have completely died out due to deforestation, until a small residual population was confirmed in the Burren, Co. Clare.

He knew that UK-produced weapons were being used to kill civilians in occupied Palestine. He knew that RAF planes were used to gather intelligence to help the IDF commit war crimes. He knew that supporting the USA in attacks on Iran was never “defensive”. Starmer is a liar.
