Supposedly its too mentally taxing for Scots to run their ain affairs, just as well England has a nice wee system set up which can do it for us, for a 40-80+% fee called general taxation which was once called colonial exploitation.

Its not new.

Post Office Scandal - Update

When thieves fall out.....

The Mirror has tracked down the former Post Office IT chief the inquiry into the ­Horizon scandal insisted could not be found.

And Mike Young accused ex-CEO Paula Vennells of trying to shift the blame for the wrongful convictions of subpostmasters over missing cash later blamed on the faulty ­Horizon IT system.

He also insisted it would have been easy for the inquiry to find him and said he would give evidence. Ms Vennells last week told it Mr Young was one of five people ­responsible for the scandal.

Mr Young said: “Paula needs an out. She’s using me and four others. Hey, she’s got to do what she thinks is right for her. She was the CEO. My phone number and my email has remained the same for 35 years. I’m not hiding anywhere, I’ve got nothing to hide from.”

@PJFerguson18 Energy will still remain a reserved matter to what is an English Govt.
Scottish Labour are our traitors with a 50 year history of stealing our oil and gas - and now its coming back for the eyelids called renewables, where we are expected to like the jobs bonanze in the reset.

🇺🇸 A US Army veteran who fought in Ukraine said that Western volunteers were killed in Ukraine because they thought the war would be easy.

The American explained that foreigners are very uncomfortable fighting Russians because of their unpredictability. But as for Ukrainians, they don't care because they weren’t taught anything anyway.

Commenting on the situation at the front on condition of anonymity, the US military officer emphasized that many foreign volunteers who came to fight against the Russian military were accustomed to fighting with superiority over the enemy and struggled to adapt to new conditions, where they were often outnumbered and outgunned.

“Many people from the West who come to Ukraine want to be heroes. I often saw guys who came to Ukraine, and they treated it almost like a vacation, and in fact did not expect death,” he noted, admitting that he himself had the same thoughts when he first came to Ukraine.

However later he realized the risk he was running.

“Even if you’re fucking miles from the front line, you could still get hit by a fucking missile. You have to be prepared to forget everything you've been taught, and that's, I think, one of the reasons why some Ukrainian soldiers do so well there, because they don't have a base." - FRWL reports

@Zlatti_71 Medvedev has clarified the Russian position, and the general picture is certainly not comforting, I think that very soon we will find ourselves faced with a harsh reality that will, as usual, be paid by the European people

[Zlatti71 @Zlatti_71]

Medvedev:

“Western countries, which allegedly "approved the use" of their long-range weapons on Russian territory (regardless of whether it concerns old or new parts of our country), must understand the following:

1. All their military equipment and personnel fighting against us will be destroyed both on the territory of former Ukraine and in the territories of other countries if strikes are launched from there against Russian territory.
2. Russia assumes that all long-range strike weapons used by former Ukraine are currently directly controlled by NATO military personnel. This is not "military assistance" but participation in a war against us. Such actions could well become a casus belli.
3. NATO will have to decide how to classify the consequences of possible retaliatory strikes against the equipment/objects/personnel of individual bloc countries in the context of Articles 4 and 5 of the Washington Treaty.

In all likelihood, NATO leadership wants to pretend that it's about sovereign decisions of individual countries of the North Atlantic Alliance to support the Kyiv regime, and there are currently no grounds to apply the rule of the 1949 Treaty on Collective Defense.

These are dangerous and harmful misconceptions. Such "individual assistance" from NATO countries against Russia, whether it's controlling their long-range cruise missiles or sending troops to Ukraine, is a serious escalation of the conflict. Former Ukraine and its allies among NATO countries will face a response of such destructive force that the Alliance itself won't be able to refrain from involvement in the conflict.

And no matter how much the retired NATO blowhards chatter that Russia will never use non-strategic nuclear weapons against former Ukraine, let alone individual NATO countries, life is much scarier than their frivolous reasoning.
Just a few years ago, they insisted that Russia would not engage in open military conflict with the Bandera regime to avoid falling out with the West. They were wrong. War is underway.

They may also miscalculate with the use of TNWs. Although this would be a fatal mistake. After all, as rightly noted by the President of Russia, European countries have very high population densities. And for those enemy countries whose lands are beyond the coverage zone of TNWs, there is finally strategic potential.

And this, alas, is neither intimidation nor nuclear bluffing. The current military conflict with the West is unfolding according to the worst-case scenario. There is a constant escalation in the power of NATO weapons being deployed. Therefore, no one can exclude the conflict from escalating to its final stage today.”

Has Labour in Scotland now shifted its stance on NHS use of private healthcare? https://t.co/WJgMebjP6r

Starmer said (in a very poor i/v on #bbcgms ) GBE will not be a *nationalised* energy company. Starmer called GBE an ‘investment vehicle’ namely a bank capitalised (ie *owned*) 75% by the private sector. Like other banks, profits & control will reside with private sector.

Had John Swinney declined STV's lop-sided debate giving Unionists a three to one advantage and instead insisted on parity, how would it have played out?

STV would have had three choices.

1. Run the debate with the three stooges.
2. Cancel the debate.
3. Invite the Scottish Greens and Alba.

They'd have opted for option 3 rather than have no programme. Yes, there would have been risks to the SNP with Indy rivals given a profile, but the advantages would have more than made up for them as Sarwar was exposed by Slater and probably taken apart by the Swinney/Salmond tag team.

Scotland can we please on this last effort send a clear message that we are seeking independence and vote SNP!? I agree that after that if they don’t start pursuing it with ferocity then we think again but there isn’t time to make another plan we need to show up as one movement!

This is a lie. There is no way back to the EU with deregulated Freeports/SEZ’s in place. (EU Freeports are highly regulated.) And the SNP pro-Freeports/SEZ’s policy, according to Stephen Flynn is ‘we want a piece of the pie.’ Well you can’t *have* a piece of both ‘pies’.

👀 The EU plans to ‘punish’ Hungary for its stance on anti-Russian sanctions and assistance to Kiev, Politico reported.

According to the publication's sources, a number of EU member states are planning to prevent Hungarian representatives from holding senior ministerial posts in the next European Commission.

European leaders are increasingly irritated by Orbán's delay in imposing sanctions on Russia and his resistance to providing aid to Ukraine.

Putin defines the standards and attitude necessary to support and advance Russia during this historically significant time in a brief speech. He calls on everyone to act like a mobilized soldier.

Maria Zakharova describes this speech as the most important statement / words.

[Young Scots for Independence @YSINational]

🫢Scotland's biggest party and the UK’s third largest party have been denied a place at the first leaders' debate, while others debate Scotland's future.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Only a vote for the SNP will ensure that Scotland always has a strong voice in shaping its future.

[Sara Salyers @SSalyers2]

Oh you’ll sell Scotland to the world all right. You’re already jumping in to sell our sovereign, territorial assets along with our NHS for private profit & throwing away our human & environmental rights in SEZ’s. You’re telling the truth for once.
