Migration costs you at most £4bn.
The richest 1000 people in the UK pay proportionally about £120bn a year LESS tax than you do.
But this vast cost is never mentioned by those same people who own the entire Media.
I wonder why?
Glasgow, branded by the BBC (and Ally McCoist!) as a darker version of Gotham city is actually the friendliest city in the UK.
Let me repeat that, Glasgow is NUMBER ONE!
Repost to let everyone know this.

Where’s the next generation of Scottish players coming from when @tennisscotland chooses to close its only training centre for the summer holidays (8 weeks)? And offers no funding for kids in national or international competitions. Yet there are 4 full time performance staff. 🤷♀️
So @AndyBurnham is the next Prime Minister of the UK

#DavidHencke is gone — but his words are not:
"#CEDAWinLAW see they have a winning hand over this — which is why the government don't want to know"
⬇️
Call me old fashioned, but I don’t believe Parliament should have a 6 week break. These people are elected to represent us. We pay them.
The country’s problems don’t stop over summer.
I find this pretty diabolical.
#DavidHencke spent his last years making sure the question of #mediation could not be buried
Mediators are ready &
the legal case is alive
while the debt of honour is unpaid
David stood outside the door to no 10 for #50sWomen
Now yours to open #FinishWhatHeStarted@CEDAWinLAW
Who makes the laws, who implements them, who instructs DWP…… ? Who is refusing to mediate, who is ignoring Legal Judgements and Ombudsman’s rulings?…….successive governments…..who votes them in?
This recess I'll be out in the community, talking to constituents and trying to help with any problems you may have.
One example I'm keen to see addressed is the disused asbestos factory at Petershill Road - which has been abandoned and left to pose a risk to the community.
If there are any other local issues you want to discuss, don't hesitate to reach out📲
💷 Brexit is costing Scotland an estimated £30 billion a year.
🥃🐟🍓 Our food, drink and agricultural industries cannot afford to be an afterthought.
That’s why I pressed Ministers on the impact of recent post-Brexit trade agreements on Scotland’s farming communities, particularly those in my constituency of Arbroath and Broughty Ferry.
Michelle Mone owes £188m to the Government, in the last 9 months nothing has been done to collect it.
If you owed £188, they would have fined you thousands of pounds and sent the bailiffs round.
For the rich they do nothing.
At a time when the safety of former high-profile politicians is the number one issue of the day BBC BritNat continues to portray Nicola Sturgeon as someone who has evaded justice. This station is as cheap & tawdry as it is third rate.
💔A young geologist was walking on Skye in 1853 when he heard a sound he could not identify, carried up the hillside on the wind. He never forgot it as long as he lived.
His name was Archibald Geikie, and he would go on to become one of the most respected scientists in Britain. But that day he was simply a young man on a hill, and what he was hearing was the townships of Boreraig and Suisnish being emptied of their people.
He wrote it down. He described the long procession winding down the road, the men and women who had lived on that ground for generations now carrying what they could, the wailing of the women, and the old people who had to be helped along because they could not walk unaided. He said the sound of that lament followed him for miles, rising and falling on the wind, until it faded and the glens went completely quiet.
The land was wanted for sheep. Sheep paid better than people. The families were given notice, their roofs were pulled down, and those who resisted were carried out. Some were shipped to Canada. Some were dumped on poor coastal ground and told to survive on seaweed and shellfish.
What makes Boreraig and Suisnish so haunting is not that they were unusual. They were entirely ordinary. This happened up and down the Highlands and Islands for the better part of a century, township after township, and most of it was never written down by anyone at all.
The ruins are still there. You can walk to them. The walls come up to your waist, the hearths are full of grass, and the view is one of the most beautiful in Scotland.
That is the cruellest part. The land is still lovely. It is only the people who are gone.
The Scottish Bloodline🏴🩸💚
@SovereignBain@davidson_didi Terrible, but even now, not acknowledged that it happened in the very south of Scotland too. These lands were also emptied of people, of hamlets and even township that could hold a market
