In 1914 a Scottish doctor offered the War Office a fully staffed hospital for the front. She was told to go home and sit still.
Her name was Elsie Inglis. She was an Edinburgh surgeon, a suffragist, and by then in her fifties, and she had come with a serious proposal: complete medical units, staffed entirely by women, funded by women, ready to go. The official reply has never been forgotten. My good lady, go home and sit still.
She did not go home. She took her offer to the French, and they said yes. Then the Serbians said yes. Then the Russians said yes. The Scottish Women's Hospitals ended up running fourteen units across Europe, staffed almost entirely by women, and they treated tens of thousands of wounded men in conditions that broke stronger organisations.
In Serbia she stayed through a typhus epidemic that was killing hundreds a day, and when the country was overrun she refused evacuation and was captured, running her hospital under enemy occupation until she was repatriated. Then she went straight back out, to Russia this time.
By 1917 she was dying of cancer and hiding it. She held on long enough to bring her Serbian units safely out of Russia, stood on the deck at Newcastle to see her staff and her men ashore, and died the next day.
Serbia has never forgotten her. There are streets and memorials there bearing her name to this day. Britain took rather longer.
She was told to sit still, and instead she built fourteen hospitals across a burning continent and came home to die on her feet.
The Scottish Bloodline🏴🩸
So the English gave 29 licenses to catch Tuna in Scotland's waters to English fishermen and 0 to Scottish fisherman. And the cunts in London say the process is 'fair and transparent.' It is transparent AF that they are colonists stealing from us.
It's now over a month since a complaint was made to the BBC following a false claim from James Cook that the SNP auditors resigning in 2023 was evidence of "something awry" with the party finances.
Why has the BBC not issued a public correction after a month?
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.
Nigel Farage - the leader of Reform UK - is under investigation for failing to declare a £5 million 'gift'.
Please RT this until the BBC gives this story the same level of blanket coverage - as it would for the leader of any other UK political Party.
The BBC refuse to hold scammer Farage to account. MPs are meant to declare ALL gifts over £300 in the calendar year leading up to their election.
I refuse to look away. Repost if you feel the same.
Has Scotland got it's own version of Tufton Street?
Is it sheer coincidence that all these staunchly anti-Scottish Independence entities registered at the same place?
48 West George Street, Glasgow.
Who is funding them and their office space?
Россия сбросила на украинскую Константиновку трехтонную авиабомбу. В Констаниновке до сих пор остаётся больше 2 тысяч человек. Трехтонная бомба. Целый квартал в труху.

I trust the SNP with the NHS
I trust that my patients still won’t have to worry about prescription charges
I trust that my kids won’t have to worry about leaving University with lots of debt
I trust the SNP to stand up for what’s right in Westminster
Vote SNP in Scotland!
It’s the fifteenth anniversary of the abolition of prescription charges in Scotland.
Let’s make sure prescriptions remain free for everyone.

Watch as ITV News reveals Scotland has the lowest level of corridor care in the whole UK ... Wales, run by Labour for 26 years, has the highest.
Would @AnasSarwar or @jackiebmsp care to comment?
