WILLIE MCRAE LAST WORDS WERE I'M GOING TO GET THEM
In April 1985, a Scottish lawyer named Willie McRae left Glasgow on a Friday evening heading to his holiday cottage. He never arrived.
He was found unconscious in his crashed car on a remote Highland road with a bullet in his head.
Police ruled it suicide. Case was closed.
One problem. The gun was found outside the car, several yards away. McRae was still inside, seatbelt on, doors jammed shut.
The officer who last spoke to McRae said he was being watched by MI5 and Special Branch.
McRae had patted his briefcase and said he had information and was going to get them.
When that officer later requested his own witness statement under Freedom of Information, he found it had been replaced with a forgery...
Every mention of surveillance, MI5, and the briefcase had been deleted.
There had been a fire at McRae's office the day before. A witness saw a man running from the building carrying a briefcase.
This was not a random lawyer. McRae had just humiliated the British nuclear industry at a public inquiry, blocking plans to dump nuclear waste across the UK.
He was also reportedly investigating a Westminster paedophile ring.
40 years later there has still never been a Fatal Accident Inquiry.
The post-mortem report has never been made public. Over 13,000 people signed a petition demanding answers.
The official position of the British state is that a man who embarrassed the establishment, knew dangerous secrets, and had just told a police officer he was going to get them, then shot himself ... after which the gun walked out of the locked car on its own.

Say ‘No’ to Cadburys…

I do not know how this isn’t a major story across Scotland.
As far as I can see the National and the Scotsman are the only ones willing to report on it.
Clearly the Sun is more focused on Nicola Sturgeon’s Pizza, the Times criticising John Swinney in the USA and the Daily Mail is obsessing over MSPs genitalia to care about the Scottish economy

It does NOT get murkier or worse than THAT
🚨 Absolute madness in the US right now as the Uruguay national team gets pulled to the side of the road and treated like straight-up suspects.
They literally just landed for the World Cup and security is already ripping their luggage open on the tarmac with sniffer dogs everywhere
Qatar and Russia hosted without this level of paranoia but the "land of the free" is handing out pure humiliation to Global South athletes before a single match is even played, the double standards are screaming.
The BBC should *never* draw attention to 'two way' contests in by-elections, especially when wider national issues are at play. The constitution *dominates* in Scotland to the extent that advertising the main rival to the SNP is de-facto tactical campaigning.
It's been going on for years. During the Holyrood election the BBC highlighted 'key marginals'. It helped BritNats identify the party most likely to defeat the SNP. During the 2018 GE campaign the BBC tried to sell Brexit by focusing on constituencies where fishing dominated. Yes, fishing was framed as Scotland's most important sector by the BBC.
The only thing that should be highlighted and scrutinised are the policies of each party standing. Even vox-pops should be banned as they are open to manipulation through editing.
Radio BritNat Breakfast doing its level best to let BritNats know who's the best placed BritNat party to beat the SNP in the two by-elections tomorrow. The discussion this morning at 0805 was essentially leafletting in broadcast form.
Turns out the arson attacks on Starmer were arranged by Russia. Guess which 'patriot' helped spread the Russian misinformation and conspiracy bollocks around the attacks.
Let’s call this bull**** out TOGETHER
The 200,000 illegal migrants figure Farage is using is over several years and let’s remind ourselves how we got into this mess in the first place - BREXIT
And now in threatening to punish those parts of the country where people don’t vote his way the Reform party leader is betraying the basic principles of democracy - its shameless and grotesque bullying which shows nothing but contempt for voters

Nigel Farage is breaking British company law.
Missed deadline to file confirmation statement with Companies House.
Failed to verify his identity, legal requirement.
Failure to comply is a criminal offence.
Low attendance in parliament, busy with 2nd jobs

There is no such thing as white privilege. The fact that I walked straight from my £60k a year private education into a City job where my stockbroker father and his rich white mates worked was down to sheer hard graft.
A) This a properly brilliant piece of investigative journalism by BBC & @hopenothate. Huge kudos to all involved.
B) The Kremlin operative who BBC names as directing arson attacks against Keir Starmer was taught his tradecraft by…drumroll…Sergei Nalobin !!! Pictured here with Boris Johnson. Also: the star of our podcast series, Sergei & the Westminster Spy Ring! Wtaf
Transport Secretary Stephen Flynn’s laughing at his critics.
They say the Aberdeen Deeside and North Kincardine MSP shouldn’t be neglecting his ministerial duties to support Scotland at the World Cup in the USA.
He spoke to our Senior Reporter @dgallowaysport.
The positivity from across the American media from Scotlands presence is quite overwhelming. Scotland deserves more of a presence in the world. With Independence we can achieve this. ♥️🏴
Expect the 🇬🇧 media to attempt to distort.
⚡️ Reform wants to use Scotland’s energy to lower bills in England.
🛡️ The SNP won’t let that happen.
🗳️ Vote SNP on Thursday 18th June to put Scotland’s energy in Scotland’s hands.
