2) £777,445 — 'National Party Contribution' straight from London. That's 36% of Scottish Labour's entire income for the year. £546,000 more than they got from London in 2023."
Hi @RachelReevesMP I live in the Highlands of Scotland, today is the first day since August 2025 I have not had my heating on, but hey ho, you enjoy tropical England. Just a gentle reminder Scotland & England are two very different countries in so many different ways.
@ChildOfAlba@ScotNational@BBCScotlandNews Only the best and most trustworthy good boys and girls will be kept on. They will be even more good and enthusiastically do their very best to prove their trustworthiness in an attempt to avoid future redundancies. Deep down they know what will be required.
El 17 de junio de 1953, las tropas coloniales británicas empezaban la masacre de Chuka, en Kenia, donde en apenas unos días, torturaban, mutilaban y asesinaban al menos a 20 kenianos a sangre fría.
En una misión de búsqueda contra los guerrilleros anticoloniales de los Mau Mau, en un bosque de las afueras de la ciudad de Chuka, el ejército británico capturó a 2 miembros de los Mau Mau, a los cuales les mutilaron las orejas y les hicieron un agujero en el lóbulo de la oreja, por donde pasaron una cuerda y la usaron como correa para pasearlos como perros por el bosque para que desvelaran las posiciones de los Mau Mau.... al darse cuenta que solo necesitaban a 1 de ellos para revelar las posiciones, al otro lo fusilaron.
Mientras caminaban por el bosque, aquel 17 de junio, los británicos se encontraron a 12 kenianos leales (reclutados forzosamente) al régimen colonial.... ante la impotencia de no encontrar a los Mau Mau, decidieron que los matarían a ellos en su lugar, 2 de ellos consiguieron escapar, pero los otros 10 fueron fusilados por los británicos.
Al día siguiente, el 18 de junio, los soldados británicos esta vez encontraron a un grupo de aldeanos en la zona de Karege, 9 hombres y 1 niño... les saquearon los huertos, les robaron las casas y luego los fusilaron a todos, los británicos cortaron manos de 6 de los fusilados y las llevaron como trofeos.
En la vorágine de sangre y masacres, los soldados británicos también decidieron asesinar al keniano que tenían atado por la oreja como un perro, como se negaba a señalar bases de los Mau Mau, lo fusilaron también.
A pesar de esta brutalidad, ni uno solo de los soldados británicos fue juzgado.... mas de 300.000 kenianos serian asesinados por los ataques de las tropas colonialistas británicas en apenas 8 años, al menos 1 millón y medio de kenianos fueron internados en campos de concentración.
If you haven’t figured it out by now, our entire government is a huge mafia who launders our tax payer money right back to themselves through foreign aid and endless wars.
They all hate you and could care less if you suffer and die horrible deaths, as long as they get dirty rich.
Don't believe everything you read on right-wing medias, in papers and more. The shirt Hannah Spencer wore at PMQ's is a 15 year old charity shop find, not a £2,000 Gucci purchase like many would want you to believe! 🤥
Why would people spread misinformation about Hannah? Hmm?
NHS MANAGERS HID 100,000 PATIENT SCANS IN CAR BOOTS
One hundred thousand patients.
One hundred thousand people went to hospital, trusted the NHS with their bodies, had X-rays and scans taken, and were never told what those scans showed.
Some of those images showed cancer. Some showed serious illness that needed urgent treatment.
The films sat in corridors and store rooms, rotting and unchecked, for years. Nobody looked at them. Nobody picked up the phone. Nobody told a single patient.
This happened. At the Royal London Hospital. In the heart of London. In the 21st century.
When health inspectors were due to arrive and see the chaos for themselves, managers locked the backlog in a storeroom so it would stay hidden.
Consultants physically stuffed patient X-ray films into their car boots to keep them out of sight during official visits. The inspection came and went. The tick boxes were filled in. The patients stayed in the dark.
Dr Otto Chan was a consultant radiologist at the hospital. A decorated, respected, senior doctor with 23 years of service.
He found this scandal and he refused to stay quiet. He reported the hidden scans. He flagged that junior doctors were being pushed to perform procedures they had never been trained for, unsupervised, on real patients.
He went to the British Medical Association. He went to the medical press. He did every single thing the system tells you to do.
Barts and The London NHS Trust @NHSBartsHealth responded by sacking him for gross misconduct in June 2006.
At the employment tribunal, the Trust did not apologise. They did not express concern for the 100,000 patients left in the dark. They told the judge that Dr Chan was not a whistleblower at all. He was a troublemaker running a campaign to damage the organisation.
His concerns were pure fantasy. That was the official position of an NHS Trust about a man who found 100,000 unread patient scans hidden in a car boot.
Half of those scans were never reviewed by a specialist. Ever. Those patients, and their GPs, will go to their graves not knowing what was on those films.
Nobody was prosecuted. Nobody was struck off. The people who hid the evidence kept their jobs. The doctor who found it lost his.

Incredible that you’re not allowed to wear a face covering when protesting a genocide in Gaza but it’s no problem at a pogrom hunting black people in Glasgow/Belfast. Two tier policing?
The Somerset Farmhouse of 1 North Street, Williton were approached by a "food influencer" that wanted to charge them £2,000 for a review.
They put out a video of Sally eating a sausage roll instead 😆.
Lets make Sally and the Somerset Farmhouse famous for free.
Robert Gros made £27m selling useless gowns via the VIP PPE Lane, of course he never paid back a penny, he bought 2 mansions instead.
RT and see if we can make him as famous as Michelle Mone.
The reason we think dandelions are weeds is because of a 1950s marketing campaign.
Dandelions, native to Europe and Asia, were brought to North America in the 1600s by European colonists who grew them deliberately.
Every part is edible. The leaves are a salad green, the flowers were made into wine, and the roots were roasted as a coffee substitute and used medicinally for liver and kidney conditions for thousands of years. They were a kitchen-garden staple well into the 1800s.
The shift happened after World War II, when 2,4-D (originally developed for chemical warfare research) was approved as a residential herbicide. Companies like Scotts built the modern lawn-care industry around the idea that a perfect green lawn meant zero broadleaf plants.
Dandelions, being bright yellow and resistant to mowing, became a visible enemy, and the campaign worked. By the 1970s, "dandelion-free" was synonymous with "well-kept."
They aren't native, but they aren't doing significant ecological harm either. The herbicides used to kill them, on the other hand, kill bees, contaminate groundwater, and have been linked to non-Hodgkin lymphoma in humans.
If you hate dandelions, it's most likely due to a marketing campaign that ran before you were born.
Make no mistake, if you are for Scottish independence, the British media will come after you more ferocious and relentless than if you're an English nationalist peddling hate and receiving millions in dodgy donations.
