Immigration may be reserved to Westminster, but social housing is devolved.
I asked John Swinney directly if he would stop the loopholes resulting in new arrivals being put ahead of locals.
This was his response:
They throw around your money like it’s their own.
It’s a worthwhile cause, but John Swinney should withdraw this donation from the government, and instead donate a sum out of his OWN pocket.
If he does so, I’ll happily match whatever he personally donates.
Voltaire passed away today in 1778.
There are two quotes of his I always come back to:
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
and
“Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”
“Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never-in nothing, great or small, large or petty-never give in, except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force. Never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.”
-Winston Churchill
Elon just offered to fund a wrongful death lawsuit against UK police officers who handcuffed the victim of a stabbing.
Henry Novak had been stabbed by Vickrum Digwa with an 8in Sikh martial arts knife.
When officers arrived, Vickrum claimed he had been racially abused, while Henry was lying on his side, telling the police he’d been stabbed and couldn’t breathe.
Officers immediately took Vickrum’s side and told Henry that he was under arrest for suspicion of assault, dismissing claims that he’d been stabbed.
Henry died as a result of his injuries.
The UK is beyond a joke
🇬🇧 ENRAGING - BRIT STABBED BY THE SIKH COURT VIDEO BITS:
Mr Nowak can be heard saying “can’t breathe.”
Police put handcuffs on Mr Nowak, who was lying on his side, telling officers he had been stabbed and that he could not breathe.
The officer told Mr Nowak that he was under arrest for suspicion of assault.
Mr Nowak repeated that he had been stabbed.
A male voice said: “I don’t think you have, mate.”
-> He drowned in own blood, as his lungs filled with blood … and died while the cops handcuffed him for racism.
In recent years we’ve seen Celtic be awarded a league title over Zoom and win a Scottish Cup that was postponed until after their opponent had been relegated and lost half their squad. And yet a title win today would arguably be the most tainted. 😂
Oh it’s brilliant. This is Starmer in 2020
I suggest he watches this on loop
“When you lose an election in a democracy, you deserve to… You don’t look at the electorate and ask them ‘what were you thinking?’ You look at yourself and ask ‘what were we doing?’”
GLORIOUS 🔥

"Another mark of a tyrant is that he likes foreigners better than citizens, and lives with them and invites them to his table; for the one are enemies, but the others enter into no rivalry with him".
