Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago. His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship." He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.

Given that fuel duty already hits drivers in Scotland disproportionately due to lower population and longer distances travelled, it’s hardly surprising that Westminster and its media choose to ignore the fact that the new per-mile EV road-usage tax is higher than what the average petrol car pays.

They call it a UK Budget, yet a Labour government in England’s parliament makes no effort to consult or discuss it with the other nations it affects. It’s imposed, not agreed. This is how the Union operates. it’s clear it isn’t a Union at all.
