Nobody wants a city on Mars. Nobody wants AI in every app. Nobody wants a robot butler. Nobody wants data centers everywhere. Nobody wants flying cars or humanoid robots. We want clean water, we want bees to survive, and we want a habitable planet.

[Brad @BraddrofliT]

So let me get this straight:

When immigrants take jobs, it’s a national crisis.

When AI takes jobs, it’s innovation.

Can someone explain why we’re supposed to fear people willing to work, but celebrate technology designed to replace workers?

Crazy that we hear about Train Drivers who get £60,000 a year for driving a train.

But we never hear about the boss of Tesco who gets £30,000 a day and doesn't even pay tax in the UK.

Or the £250m a day that the likes of Amazon, Vodafone, BP and Shell don't pay in tax.

JD Vance says Henry Nowak would still be alive if “the last few generations of Europeans had stood their ground against the mass invasion of migrants”

If the Native Americans had kept out the invader scum like Vance, we wouldn't have to listen to this shit.

Unless you lived through the poll tax years , miner strikes , etc please do not try & tell me that we are not better off here in Scotland with @theSNP . The unionist parties have treated our country as a cash cow for decades & time for us all to unite under this flag🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 not this🇬🇧

@AArmstrong_says @FT Well done for reporting this. Very few London journalists pay attention to Scotland never mind call out the UK media and others for their double standards. I can guarantee you that virtually non of the so-called 'Scottish' media won't mention this UK Gov move.

[Scotland’s Story @80_mcswan]

6000 miles of Scotland's North Sea were secretly claimed by Westminster in 1999. Unionists often deny this, so I have included the legislation. Every Scot should RT this to reveal the truth about Westminster's underhand tactics to stop independence.

In Praise of Being Told What We Can’t Eat

I used to find European regulations mildly embarrassing. The endless directives, the committees, the solemn deliberations about cucumber curvature. It seemed like a continent-wide exercise in missing the point.

Then I looked at what was actually in my food.

More than 10,000 chemicals are permitted in the American food supply.

Nearly 99 percent introduced since 2000 were approved not by the FDA, but by the food industry itself. 

Companies writing their own permission slips, essentially. The GRAS loophole, created in 1958, allows manufacturers to self-certify that their ingredients are safe. The EU has no equivalent.

The results are specific. BHT, used to extend shelf life in cereals and crackers, is banned in Europe over endocrine disruption concerns – which is why you will never find Wheat Thins here. 

Bovine growth hormone, linked to elevated cancer markers, is injected into American dairy cows and banned across the EU. Standard American milk contains it unless the label says otherwise.

Potassium bromate, a probable human carcinogen, is still used in American bread. 

This is not accident. Three of America’s biggest lobbying firms work for the food industry. Pepsi alone spends nine million dollars a year on lobbying. Incentives, working exactly as designed.

Europe chose the precautionary principle. Prove it is safe before it goes in. America chose the reverse. Things are safe until enough people are harmed to prove otherwise.

Throw in the right to repair, universal charging cables, and food labels a human being can actually parse – and what emerges is not bureaucratic overreach. It is a regulatory culture that decided to represent the person eating the food rather than the company selling it.

Critics can call that excessive. I call it civilization.

@cana91754 @ScottishLabour Nathan I've got tights older than you but l can remember growing up in Glasgow under Labour. They couldn't even provide decent housing. It was full of slums and poverty. Now I'm an OAP and Labour has shafted me again. I grew up in a Labour family but they will never get my vote

[Scotland’s Story @80_mcswan]

Scottish independence is bigger than any one individual.
Independence is the greatest gift we can give our youth, ourselves and our elderly.
It is a gift for future generations to come. We must never forget this.
The dream shall never die.

[Tony Newnham @NewnhamTony]

If 7 years is the legal 'cooling-off' period for NI to vote on sovereignty, how is 12+ years 'too soon' for Scotland? The UK Gov accepts periodic consent in one part of the Union but denies it in another. It’s not a law; it’s a blockade of democratic precedent. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⚖️🗳️

[Tartan Astronaut for independence🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @MrsAstronaut]

I was watching the Laura Kuenssberg programme and she was going round Glasgow asking what people want from the Holyrood election. This guy said lower the energy bills. I don't think this guy knows that energy is reserved to Westminster. People need to know these things

[Andrea Junker @Strandjunker]

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

[Dr Dan Goyal @danielgoyal]

Scotland hasn’t voted for a right wing government since 1955

Yet since then we have spent 47 years under right wing rule

Now we are facing being ruled by a far right UK Party….

despite voting overwhelmingly for a socialist party.

Do you blame us for seeking Independence?
