@STVNews I wonder what changed in the last 55 years 🤔

[John Knox @teaching_scot]

@JohnSwinney 12 years ago Scotland voted decisively against separation
Despite this, the SNP has constantly challenged the democratic decision of the people and governed for their supporters and themselves 💰 over the people of Scotland

Scotland's best interest is being in the union. 🇬🇧

[The Free Speech Union @SpeechUnion]

Sir Keir Starmer has resigned as Prime Minister.

He has led the most authoritarian government in more than a generation, unleashing an unprecedented assault on free speech. Indeed, he seems determined to make social media censorship his legacy.

In the process, he has proved to be an effective recruiting sergeant for the Free Speech Union, with our membership growing from 14,000 at the time of the last General Election to more than 45,000 today.

But there is little reason to believe things will improve under his likely successor, Andy Burnham.

It is believed that the former MP for Makerfield and former head of Labour Together, Josh Simons, who resigned so Burnham could fight a by-election, is set for a plum job at the heart of Downing Street. The Free Speech Union recently exposed Labour’s ‘misinformation mafia’ that Simons led, targeting journalists and others that challenged Starmer’s technocratic managerialism. We anticipate an escalation in Labour’s efforts to suppress dissenting speech on social media in the forthcoming Representation of the People Bill, assuming Burnham doesn’t abandon the legislative programme outlined in the King’s Speech.

Burnham is also keen on bringing forward a ‘fully trans-inclusive’ ban on ‘conversion therapy’, which may mean criminalising parents who ‘misgender’ their confused adolescent children or who withhold consent from their children embarking on irreversible medical pathways.

No doubt there will be numerous other assaults on free speech which we’ll be keeping a close eye on.

@JohnSwinney Shut the fuck up you absolute weapon.
Scotland deserves better than two decades of corrupt clowns and a circus in Edinburgh too

[Gerry @GerryKeogh_]

Edinburgh Knife Chaos: Two Stabbings, Two Very Different Responses.

In Edinburgh, two violent men went on stabbing rampages against innocent people.

One a White Scottish local gets special condemnation by the First Minister, politicians, and media as “absolutely appalling” anti Muslim hatred.
Full counter terror treatment, national outrage, the full works.

The other a Chadian migrant/refugee slashes people near schools and shops, yet gets a softer ride: bail, muted coverage, and excuses, and not a terror threat?

Same city. Same blade violence. Same terrified public, both men need to be locked up for a very long time.

But the outrage depends on the attacker’s identity.

This two tier justice and selective condemnation is disgusting.

All the Victims deserve real protection not political games that import trouble and then downplay it.

[Wings Over Scotland @WingsScotland]

You apologised to that wee lassie in Dundee yet, ya cunt? No? Then you don’t get to tell anyone what to be ashamed of.

[John Knox @teaching_scot]

@MothinAli Disgusting speculation from the far left designed to create division and drive hate against the innocent and peaceful Scottish communities, we won't stand for this. Don't look back in anger, let's tackle the far left hatred that politicises these attacks for its own purpose!

[John Knox @teaching_scot]

@piersmorgan You should be ashamed Piers. Speculation from the far left designed to create division and drive hate against the innocent and peaceful Scottish communities, we won't stand for this. Let's tackle the far left hatred that seeks to politicise these attacks for their own purpose!
