The UK is increasing the Pension age to 68.

Poland has lowered theirs to 60.

Their pension is higher as well.

Trump was warned by US intelligence that attacking Iran would lead to attacks on US bases, regional attacks, and the closing of the Strait. It is all in the 2025 intelligence threat assessment.

Intelligence also repeated year after year that Iran wasn't working on a nuclear weapon. And the administration admitted there was no imminent threat.

Trump started a war anyway.

Trump started this war because he thinks he can get away with anything. He thought he could bomb Iran's leaders, and Iran would quickly turn around and agree to peace. Trump was wrong.

Trump was warned. Trump started a war anyway. And now he doesn't know how to end it.

This is fully Trump's war and Trump's mess. He deserves every bit of criticism he receives, no matter how much he whines about it on social media.

The BBC never pursued Huw Edwards's wife to ask how she didn't know her husband was paying a teenager tens of thousands of pounds over three years for explicit photos. It's just another example of the different standards being applied to Nicola Sturgeon.

Happer, who speaks extensively to BBC Scotland staff, said: "BBC Scotland journalists felt they couldn’t cover the referendum in the way they would have liked because of commands coming from London" 👇

The time Labour MP Siobhain McDonagh boasted: "Only last week we suspended two Labour councillors in Edinburgh because they weren’t prepared to vote for the Tories over the SNP"

"The Bannockburn Myth", "The Wars of 'Independence'" and "separatist politicians" at Gleneagles Railway Station. Dubious history with no author or agency taking ownership.

7 News reports that Israeli forces have destroyed 146 Australian World War I graves in Gaza. A total of 818 Commonwealth graves have been damaged or destroyed

BBC Question Time (1987), Dennis Healy asserts oil’s running out to Alex Salmond. Fear tactics then, fear tactics now.

[YES Brechin @BrechinYes2]

The Daily Mail today. There is a gold mine of wealth lying beneath the North Sea. Should exploit it today.
The same Daily Mail in 2014 told Scots that oil would be gone in 10 years and we would finish up like Bangladesh. That's the bias we get from a Brit Nat Flugblatt daily.

[YES Brechin @BrechinYes2]

Can't have an oil refinery.
Can't have a chemical plant.
Can't have a Chinese Wind Turbine Plant.
Can't have zonal Electricity pricing.
Can't hear a whisper from 37 Scots Labour MPs.

Labour waved through projects in England, but blocks £1.5bn of investment in renewables and 1,500 jobs in the Highlands.

Grangemouth.
Mossmorran.
Offshore jobs.
Now Ardersier.

Scotland is an afterthought to Westminster. We need a fresh start with independence.

[Jollyman56 @jollyman56]

This is the real story...not the meagre contribution of wee Doogies office. Well done the SNP!

BOMBSHELL: Iran offered to give away ALL of its enriched uranium during peace talks in Geneva. The British thought it was a credible offer. Hours later, Trump started bombing Iran anyway. The US didn't want peace, they wanted war.

[Brandon Weichert @WeTheBrandon]

The non-war-war which wasn't started by Trump but was started by Trump because Iran was about to initiate a nuclear attack on us...with nuclear weapons that were OBLITERATED last year by Trump...is ending, except it's not ending because it's just beginning...but it is ending--soon--but we don't know when, and if you question that you're a "Panican," but the only reason Trump indicated it would be ending--which it's not, but it is (not)--is because he completely panicked when he saw the oil prices exploding--which, weren't exploding, they were merely jumping up with joy at Trump having (not) started/ended the non-war-war against Iran.

^^That's the president's recent speech in a nutshell.

[John Simpson @JohnSimpsonNews]

So Russia is revealed to be sending intelligence to Iran about US sites it should bomb. The next thing, Pres Trump gets on the phone to Putin and offers to lift oil-related sanctions against Russia.
