Has the Parades Commission taken leave of its senses?The racist, sectarian, bigoted Orange Order want to march down a road where Irish nationalists live. The only possible point of such a march is to cling to the myth of unionist domination, defeated long ago and never to return.

Courell has a long track record working with the English FA and British Olympics team. The absolute epitome of a West Brit; Spinless, unprincipled coward of the highest order.
FAI CEO David Courell says a vote took place among the Republic of Ireland squad on whether to fulfil the Nations League fixture against Israel, and a "significant majority" of the players voted to play the game. #RTEsoccer

I've met Roelf Meyer during my time and work at the Glencree Centre for Peace and Reconciliation. He is sharp enough to know that the Trump regime also knows there is no "white genocide" taking place in South Africa but this US policy is about messaging to their mostly stupid, largely racist base. Stops them from asking more questions about the Epstein files... In reality they could equally be distracted by a balloon on a stick.

There must be an obvious reason why the British state media outlet is not naming Ryanair as the operator in this story? Is this not the same Ryanair who are already well documented as deliberately "flying light" with fuel, for cost saving reasons, and routinely triggering emergencies to enable them to land safely? Why is the CAA turning an apparent blind eye to their practices?

Record and file deletion is the prevailing culture at @scotgov, whether @NicolaSturgeon's WhatsApp messages or Government files withheld despite court orders. What happened to "open, accountable, transparent" governance cash-bung @JohnSwinney?
🚨🚨 NEW: The Standards Commission is being formally investigated by National Records of Scotland for their destruction of records. The destruction coincided with 3 live court proceedings concerning human rights protections and procedural fairness. heraldscotland.com/news/2657…

In the UK They've been telling you "the Russians are coming" for 70 years. They never came. There was no plan to invade Europe. And there is no plan today. It's all fear mongering control farming. Just like it was in 1976.

I think this could be one of the worst points in history to be a Scot. How could a nation that produced Wallace and Bruce, that is responsible for essentially inventing the modern world, a nation of great thinkers, warriors and poets end up with this goon as "leader"? piped.video/hnpgwz9sLgc?is=8sgp…

Les Wexner, the US billionaire who funds lobbying in the Congress for pro Zionist policy in the Middle East, is currently anchored in the bay at Oban. Scotland appears to attract these Zionist extremist billionaires and funders of genocide with no interest shown from our corrupt prosecutor @COPFS

I get asked a lot about what film gear I have used over the years... You really don't need fancy gear though, just a reasonable eye and ok weather!! All of this, apart from the last shot, was taken on a cheap Motorola phone camera. Music by Jesse Welles. piped.video/XpdvJGS8zcM?is=flF5…

To be perfectly honest, I actually don't primarily blame the grifters and gravy train addicts who have utterly betrayed the independence movement. Grifters do what grifters do. My primary ire is towards those who kept believing this BS; "the blessed secret plan" that never existed in the first place. Their lack of critical thinking, of being able to think at all, has left our Movement divided and in tatters. My patience with them ran out over 10 years ago... I wonder when this eejit thinks @NicolaSturgeon will "call it" now? In between her new acting career or the next round of champagne in the Queen Vic?

In terms of their frothing at the mouth desire to send your bairns off to be mutilated and killed in an avoidable conflict with Russia, you really could not put a fag paper between @NicolaSturgeon and @Jacob_Rees_Mogg Maybe they could show some true grit and lead from the front........ Nah, I didn't think so.

When I did a story highlighting the MoD were cynically targeting Scottish schools in deprived areas of our nation for recruitment, Sturgeon accused me of "army bashing"! Now she publicly revels in British military fantasies, not unlike the former British military figures and their lakeys, who blocked, once again, a proper independence strategy being debated at the upcoming SNP conference. If SNP members cannot see how compromised their leadership is, SpecSavers is not going to help. They need a full eye transpant. Their Party is riddled with these armchair BRITISH generals.

She signed the bomb that killed children in Gaza.
China is arming Russia with drone parts used to kill Ukrainians. China is arming Iran with satellite imagery to target U.S. military bases. Xi knows exactly what he's doing and should be held accountable.

The man over his right shoulder will decide... Like all Western corporate elites they are utterly compromised.
John Swinney will call on every MSP at Holyrood to back Scotland’s 'right to decide' its own future as he faces growing pressure from within the SNP over the party’s independence strategy👇
