This is completely dishonest. The Scottish Government owns the Scottish airport being used extensively by the US military as part of their bombing campaign against Iran. The First Minister has already conceded this isn't a reserved matter, so why won't he evict Trump's troops now?

LRT: Of all the legacy reboots/requels kicking about, the Buffy one was the one that sounded the most interesting, because of the folk involved. So of course thatâs the one shitcanned.
