Burnham turns up on Gogglebox. TikTok.YouTube.Gogglebox. Be Love Island next, Big B crawling around in a pair of budgie smugglers. (It was going to be Strictly, but then Claudia left. ) I love the gravitas he brings to the job in this troubled time.

Scots will pay the highest costs of all while out country is self-sufficient in renewable energy and we’re literally up to our oxters in turbines (owned by foreign multinationals). Shafted by Westminster again.

Watching a programme about the state of the water restrictions in a lot of England, and the state of the water reservoirs and how low the water is. The end of the programme stated that the water companies have calculated that the winter rainfall in England will need to be 100% more than the average👇

Now I understand why the billionaires are unhappy and see just how much support Scotgov give to the bus sector. Have a read.

Reasons for independence No. 1: without it, watch as WM use Scotland as a dumping ground for all the nasties, whilst pillaging our resources. I say ‘watch’ because, without Indy, we can do nothing about it!

Charity is asking Scottish Government for 'radical change' to tackle child poverty. Cost of electricity and gas, cost of petrol/diesel, food, mortgages,rent. None controlled by the SG. The Child Payment is controlled by the SG and is the reason why child poverty in Scotland is far less than in rUK

Cont-And it will be the final decision... It's a once in a generation decision." Chatham House speech Nov 20th 2016. Unionists pushing a referendum on rejoining the EU but deny a Scottish Referendum will be a PR disaster. This is an open goal for the SNP.

Cont- If we vote to leave, then we will leave. There will not be another renegotiation and another referendum." 10 Downing Street statement Feb 20th 2016. "This is a huge decision for our country, perhaps the biggest we will make in our lifetimes. - 4/

"I believe we would be mad not to take this once in a lifetime chance to walk through that door..." May 9th 2016 David Cameron: "The referendum that follows will be a once-in-a-generation choice. An in or out referendum. When the British people speak, their voice will be respected, not ignored. - 3/

Boris Johnson: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to vote for real change in Britain's relations with Europe. This is the only opportunity we will ever have to show that we care about self-rule." Feb 21st 2016 2/

There are always receipts. Although, ultimately, the argument the Union needs to make( good luck) is why it is acceptable for a country to be deprived of the right to choose whether they want self determination or have that right held by another.

This gentleman is speaking about his American experience but surely, Scotland, we need to listen to the experience of those who have gone before us in the development of these data centres.

The leader of a UK government elected on 32% is telling a Scottish government elected on 36% that a 56% pro-Indy Scottish parliament can't hold a referendum that 68% of Scots want. UK democracy, ladies and gentlemen.

Got an unsolicited letter from ONS saying we’d been selected to take part in a survey for UK. Letter phrased to suggest we must take part(we don’t). Got another today to say that if survey incomplete by 4/10, they would send someone round to talk to us about it. Good luck with that!

So, Banksy bought a used yacht, repaired it and retrofitted it to serve as a rescue boat to save migrants in the central Mediterranean. The whole project cost the artist $860,000. Since 2020, the boat has saved more than 3,800 people. londondaily.com/banksy-funds...

Dear ch4 news: Re your piece on Drug deaths in Scotland; you did not explain the calculations of drug deaths are collected by different criteria than rUK. You also did not explain that Drug Misuse is not devolved to the Scottish Parliament. It is reserved to Westminster. Why not?

‘Drug deaths rise again in SNP’s Scotland….’ Reads Daily Fail headline online.13 comments attached. Reading them, I despair at how ill informed and entitled they are!

Courtesy of Cllr Drew Millar Eilean à Cheo, SNP “Aye, England. Scotland. Wales. Northern Ireland. Four nations? Yes. One long political history? I won't deny 1707 happened. But don't dress it up as something it was never. This was never the will of the Scottish people.👇

Suddenly I am feeling more inclined to refer to the North of Ireland…,,,

Possibly the best exemplification of the financial sabotage of Scotland by this English dominated Union.

US company General Dynamics & Germany’s ARX Robotics will unveil a plan to integrate robotic vehicles with the vibrating Ajax hulks to operate around the tanks as “protective wingmen”. While the BBC is happy to repeat ferry ‘problems’ in Scotland, they keep this story well hidden from the public.

BBC keeping this quiet. Thanks to Private Eye & FT. The Ajax tank MoD programme has been way-over budget & delayed for yrs & the armed vehicles are too noisy for humans to operate. The whole programme has been expensive & useless. Now German & US robotics expertise may rescue an expensive shambles.

Agreed!

'Data centres give us almost no jobs and take vast amounts of electricity – it's estimated total energy use of all data centres applying to come to Scotland could more double total electricity demand. Never mind water and other resources.' Common Weal, via The National archive.is/PYd5V

The £72 m received by Reform UK from 2 billionaires is over 5 times the £14 m in private donations made to the SNP since the establishment of Holyrood in 1999. Democratic politics is not sustainable when the playing field can be warped in favour of the far right to such an extent by the super-rich.
