Jim Ratcliffe, one of Britain’s richest and most influential men explains the state of the country

“You can't have an economy with 9 million people on benefits and huge levels of immigrants coming in. The UK is being colonized — The UK is being colonized by immigrants”

What if we actually deported the 1.2 million people who have no right to be here.

London alone would see around 250,000 homes freed up.

The NHS could save billions.
Waiting lists would fall.
Pressure on services would ease.
Crime would drop.

Why is this even controversial! 🤷‍♂️

"Scotland the Brave" (Alba an Àigh) a Scottish patriotic song, one of three often considered an unofficial Scottish national anthem ("Flower of Scotland" and "Scots Wha Hae")....

The tune probably originated in the late 19th Century AD. The earliest known printing of the tune was in the Utah Musical Bouquet, January 1878 AD, and the earliest known version printed in Scotland is in The National Choir, 1891 AD. The lyrics commonly used now were written about 1950 by Scottish journalist Clifford Leonard Clark "Cliff" Hanley for singer Robert Wilson as part of an arrangement by Marion McClurg. Another set of lyrics also often heard were sung by Canadian singer John Charles McDermott; they are closely based on the poem "Let Italy Boast" by James Hyslop, which was first published in 1821 in The Edinburgh Magazine. However, Hyslop intended his poem to be sung to the melody of Sir Walter Scott of Abbotsford, 1st Baronet's "Boat Song" from "The Lady of the Lake" and not "Scotland the Brave".

Scotland the Brave is a Scottish song considered by many to be the unofficial anthem of Scotland. Unlike many Scottish ballads that dwell on its wars with England, Scotland the Brave focuses on the merits of Scotland itself, boasting of the people's bravery and loyalty, as well as the counry's natural beauty and glorious history. It is a militant song that calls to mind the valor of the Scottish nation and people...

"Hark when the night is falling
Hear! Hear the pipes are calling,
Loudly and proudly calling,
Down thro' the glen.
There where the hills are sleeping,
Now feel the blood a-leaping,
High as the spirits of the old Highland men.

Towering in gallant fame,
Scotland my mountain hame,
High may your proud standards gloriously wave,
Land of my high endeavour,
Land of the shining river,
Land of my heart forever,
Scotland the brave.

High in the misty Highlands,
Out by the purple islands,
Brave are the hearts that beat
Beneath Scottish skies.
Wild are the winds to meet you,
Staunch are the friends that greet you,
Kind as the love that shines from fair maiden's eyes.

Towering in gallant fame,
Scotland my mountain hame,
High may your proud standards gloriously wave,
Land of my high endeavour,
Land of the shining river,
Land of my heart forever,
Scotland the brave.

Far off in sunlit places,
Sad are the Scottish faces,
Yearning to feel the kiss
Of sweet Scottish rain.
Where tropic skies are beaming,
Love sets the heart a-dreaming,
Longing and dreaming for the homeland again.

Towering in gallant fame,
Scotland my mountain hame,
High may your proud standards gloriously wave,
Land of my high endeavour,
Land of the shining river,
Land of my heart for ever,
Scotland the brave.
Land of my heart forever,
Scotland the brave."

"Scotland the Brave" is also the authorised pipe band march of the British Columbia Dragoons of the Canadian Armed Forces.

"Scotland the Brave" was played before matches involving the Scottish national football team at the 1982, 1986, and 1990 FIFA World Cups. "Flower of Scotland" was subsequently adopted by Scotland for use at FIFA-sponsored events, after its usage by the Scottish rugby union team.

In June 2006, the song rated second in an online poll with more than 10,000 votes to determine Scotland's favourite unofficial anthem, losing only to "Flower of Scotland". The song was used to represent Scotland in the Commonwealth Games until it was replaced by "Flower of Scotland" from the 2010 games onwards.
