Woke, lefty, ❤️ NHS/🏴/EU/fairness/honest journalists and politicians (I know!). When did decency and honesty become unfashionable?

Your point is valid in England I’m sure. At BBC Scotland, it’s Labour that benefits from biased boosting

He was always surprised that Biden didn’t do it. So, instead of doing it himself, he gave Musky the keys to the kingdom, removed all the checks and balances, and turned the WH into a car dealership 🤣

And what “increase of sovereignty”?

simply enforcing much easier and more honourable decisions like making private companies do what they said they would when our public assets were sold to them or taxing the rich more fairly 2/2

Crazy how successive UK govts talk about difficult decisions but rarely make them. They hammer the poor/sick/disabled/public services, while a blind man running for his life can see they’re avoiding 1/2

Fintan O’Toole understands that side of Britain better than any other commentator alive. He’s right every time. It’s utterly absurd and, sadly, played on by every charlatan in a light or dark blue rosette

How different the UK political landscape would look if the MSM gave genuine, elected influence-appropriate coverage to all political parties. We’d barely have heard of toadface and his cronies. Meanwhile, decent people like Ed Davey and Caroline Lucas can barely get a word in

This is what I don’t get about some people. Why vote for - or against - anyone or anything without being sure you know enough about what they stand for? You may still choose your view of the least of all evils, of course, but at least make some effort

Full disclosure, I’m for #ScottishIndependence, so I haven’t voted for a unionist party in a long time, but I can’t understand on any level how a Labour or LibDem voter moves to Reform

I managed to miss him yesterday, Stewart. Any chance you can remember what time he was on “ish”?

One of the biggest mysteries in this to me is how Israel could possibly imagine that committing genocide will make it safer. Aren’t they, among other things, providing hamas with its biggest ever recruitment drive?

The utterly ridiculous, arrogant sentiment underlying all this nonsense is the idea that the EU is crammed full of people who would much rather live in England

“Qatar funds terrorism”. But, if they kiss my a$$ and give me a 2nd hand plane, they can carry on

100%. If *they’re* on your side, you’re definitely not on the right side

Yeah. The EU rigged the game by building cars that are better suited to the circumstances. How very dare they?

How easy it is to sway them. I wonder how much they “lobbied” 🤔

This doesn’t deserve a reply but I’ll indulge you for a moment. Did the same law in England and Wales cause you to ask the same of those who support the Westminster government? If not, then you’re not pro-women, you’re just anti-ScotGov.

Not at all. I was keen to know where this fabulous advert could be seen. I love that it’s in the UK

BBC news isn’t neutral, not now, maybe not ever, on Scotland. It’s not a trusted source. It’s a UK gov propaganda machine, like a pack of hyenas on any iota of bad news they can embellish, while ignoring all positive news, or burying it in overnight broadcasts or at the bottom of their online feed

Sadly, that kind of sums up how we got here in the first place. Despite being paid to do so, many of our MEPs really didn’t represent us. Some were real embarrassments and many dishonest WM politicians happily distorted the truth to insinuate that various very homegrown problems were the EU’s fault

Sorry, Dom. I just something very similar. I should’ve read all the comments first

This is a very insightful, and very depressing, thread. Britain has done itself over for the umpteenth time all because Westminster, the MSM and, above all, farage and his dishonest band of merry Brexiteers won on the basis that England in

It’s good. But it still feels pretty sh1t that we’re reduced to celebrating regaining things we lost for no good reason

I’m sorry to be pedantic and I feel your pain, but this isn’t British. It’s English. We have our own problems in Scotland but you need to own this one

How can it be that people see what the orange horror is doing to the American people and think, “Oh we need some of that over here”? It’s sickening

She dishes out nothing but sh1t and cries foul every time she’s called out. She’s a truly horrible person

There will be people who will cast this as the EU punishing the UK for leaving. What they will conveniently forget is that the reason it feels so bad now is because we used to have it so good. They will never be happy. And they will never accept their mistakes

“Over-regulation”, ie workers’ rights, safe planning and building standards, customer rights

I wonder if that could have anything to do with the fact he wants Russia to get all its demands while he’s telling Ukraine to capitulate 🤔

I can’t believe he thinks that will make a difference. He’s surely destroyed the brand forever?
