Zelensky's refusal to negotiate was.

With a host of others, China & Russia will be overjoyed to expose the fake UK as England, remove their UN seat, and most importantly, restore Scotland's self-determination.

Cuba has better Healthcare than the US.
Better education.
Longer lifespan.
Lower crime.
Fewer infant deaths.
Lower deaths from preventable diseases.
Higher home ownership.
They are happier.

They have managed this even with a 60 year blockade.

Cuba needs to save the US.

At the foot of Edinburgh Castle, beside Princes Street Gardens, stands St Cuthbert's Church, one of Edinburgh’s most historic churches. Tradition holds that a church was founded on this site around AD 670, making it the city’s oldest continuously used Christian site. The present building, designed by Hippolyte Blanc, was completed in 1894 and is renowned for its richly decorated interior, stained glass, and impressive churchyard, where many notable Edinburgh figures are buried. Celebrated mystery writer Agatha Christie married the archaeologist Max Mallowan on 11 September 1930 in this church. Today, St Cuthbert’s remains an active parish church and a popular destination for visitors exploring Edinburgh’s history.

Maybe now it will be understood how important it is that the Scottish Crown wasn’t replaced by a joint British one! Title to Scotland remains with the crown and there’s no legal mechanism to give Charlie boy or his government or its administration access to that title. Time to fight for our rights, funnily enough rights based on hoary old historical facts!! (I know you already know that, Ian! 🙂)

[Porridge Drawers 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @AwTroon]

Just a reminder. This is England's celebration. England's culture'. Scotland does not bow to kings or queens of England because we are sovereign Scots. Why then does England bend the knee to a crown?
Are you not sovereign my friends south of the border?

This is just the beginning
A there is a clear, documented list of times since 2020 when the UK Government has overridden, blocked, or bypassed Scottish devolved decisions.

Confirmed UK overrides of Scottish devolved decisions since 2020

Section 35 veto of a Scottish Bill (first time ever)

UK Government legislating in devolved areas without consent
(9 times since Brexit)

The Scottish Parliament withheld consent, but Westminster legislated anyway.
EU Withdrawal Act
UK Internal Market Act
Subsidy Control Act
Retained EU Law Act
Professional Qualifications Act
Trade Act
Agriculture Act
Fisheries Act
Levelling Up and Regeneration Act
Scottish Nat...

This is a major breach of the Sewel Convention.

Internal Market Act overriding devolved laws

This Act allows UK‑wide “market access” rules to neutralise Scottish laws.
It has been used to.
block Scotland’s Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) by refusing an exemption for glass.
Scottish Nat...

This is the clearest example of the UK rewriting devolved policy.

UK Government bypassing Holyrood on spending
Since 2020, UK ministers can spend directly in devolved areas, bypassing the Scottish Government.
This includes
Levelling Up funds
Shared Prosperity Fund
Community Renewal Fund

This removes Holyrood’s control over devolved‑area budgets.

Supreme Court rulings restricting devolved law‑making

The Court struck down parts of
UNCRC Incorporation Bill
Local Government Bill
Because they were judged to “affect” Westminster’s power.

This created new uncertainty about what Holyrood is allowed to legislate on.

UK legislation reducing devolved regulatory powers

The UK Government has taken powers to
set UK‑wide standards
regulate subsidies
override devolved rules
impose common frameworks

These powers sit at Westminster, not Holyrood.

Summary list (clean, simple)

Since 2020, Westminster has
Blocked a Scottish Bill using Section 35 (first time ever).
Legislated in devolved areas without consent nine times.
Overrode devolved law using the Internal Market Act (DRS example).
Bypassed Holyrood on spending in devolved areas.
Had the Supreme Court strike down devolved Bills (UNCRC, Local Government).
Centralised regulatory powers over standards, subsidies, and frameworks.

have the Supreme Court restrict devolved legislation
pressure the constitutional space Scottish courts operate in (as seen in the Craig Murray / Palestine Action case)
This means Scotland’s ability to act independently has been significantly reduced.

@roorooyes4 @Craig_Berry_ @AlexNeilSNP @KennyMacAskill @joannaccherry @DougChapmanSCO @bellacaledonia @KirkJTorrance @HebrideanAngus @ChristinaH3ndry @NaeFear @SNP_CWG Yes indeed. To make matters worse, the SNP now has 5 more years to deny Scotland the opportunity to take back its independence, courtesy of an electorate that is detached from the reality of what the SNP has become. Between blind faith & ignorance we’ve ended up in a dire mess.

Mearsheimer says China could not rise peacefully.

But the comments got to the real question:
China already rose peacefully.

It did not bomb its way into the world’s second-largest economy.
It did not build 800 overseas military bases.
It did not sanction half the planet.
It did not invade, assassinate, regime-change, and call it “order.”

China rose through factories, ports, railways, power grids, shipyards, engineers, workers, and decades of national discipline.

The real question is not whether China can rise peacefully.
It already did.

The question is whether America can decline peacefully.

And that is where the real danger begins.

BREAKING - A Swiss Tribunal recognises the legitimate right to peacefully oppose the ongoing genocide in Palestine.

One again: justice for Palestine starts at home. It only takes people caring and applying Intl Law. And persevering.

Palantir now has the names and addresses of every person who holds a gun in the UK

They have the records of every Police Officer

They have access to everyone's Medical Records

These are people who are using AI to murder in Gaza and Lebanon
