@ScotTories Err……….

BBC Scotland's top story is the loss of seventy jobs at Fergusons Shipyard. What BBC Scotland won't report is the part it played in smearing the yard and the Scottish Govt after it was awarded the contract to build two ferries. The BBC turned the yard into a political football.

@bash487244111 @afneil January/ February/ May & June You?

@bash487244111 @afneil Crack on and petition your MP to back a Scottish referendum as its English politicians who are blocking it Dont worry about visas as EU dont require them

@RangersBear55 @alanjgarden Try this from Professor Dorling at Oxford Lots to do but unlike rUK its going in the right direction Hope that helps blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandpol…

When in power in Glasgow Labour didn't just betray female workers over equal pay, the party spent £2.5m of public cash trying to deny those same workers compensation. Labour almost bankrupted Glasgow. The city will be paying £50m a year for thirty years.

@JamesMelville Don't let facts get in the way Mr Melville eh?

Glasgow deserves better than periodic ritual condemnation. If I hadn’t spent real time in Glasgow; walking those streets at 3am feeling safer than in most European cities; I might have swallowed the latest BBC framing wholesale. But I have been there. I’ve seen the city at night, felt its pulse, and known its people. So when pieces like this reduce Glasgow to drugs, violence and racism, it lands as something more than journalism. It feels like a selective, recurring campaign that shows little regard for the community it claims to examine. Every city has problems that demand honest attention and real solutions. Pretending otherwise helps no one. Glasgow is no exception. But painting an entire city and its people through the darkest lens available, while treating occasional disorder as defining character, is not balance. It is disregard. Glaswegians have long punched above their weight. The “People Make Glasgow” ethos is not empty branding; it is lived reality. Problems exist and should be confronted without denial. But reducing a complex, resilient city to a weekly dossier of its worst moments, while soft-pedalling the everyday dignity, creativity and solidarity of its people, is not serious analysis. It is a narrative that erodes more than it illuminates. Again, Glasgow deserves better than periodic ritual condemnation. | #Glasgow #Scotland #PeopleMakeGlasgow

@ziggy6769 @larabirdsnp @theSNP Apart from all the other devolved parliaments Next you will say Holyrood is permanent re the Vow But just like every other part of the Scotland Act it isnt worth the paper its written on as its at the whim of whoever is in WM Then theres Broons federalism where's that

@DanielJHannan If only England & Wales hadn't voted for Brexit destroying trade, businesses and the economy because of their hatred for others and lies told by 'Vote leave'🤔 politico.eu/article/15-thi…

@NormanLeedsFRSA @DanielJHannan None of which is true but dont let that get in the way of your racism The evidence is quite clear immigrants make a positive contribution to the UK economy Most benefits are paid as pensions and of the rest half goes to those in full time employment because wages are so low

@ziggy6769 @larabirdsnp @theSNP With winning comes responsibility to make it happen Vows were made and none was delivered and WM parties sought to undermine at every turn Scotland Act not worth the paper its written on The least powerful devolved nation in the world Federalism where did that go

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 If we truly want to make a difference for people in Scotland, we need to be able to make our own decisions. We need independence.

Interesting-Scotland raises £98bn but independent Norway raises £109bn. 🇳🇴 spend on public services is £29k per head vs 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 £22k. Perhaps a better & more realistic comparator for @BBCScotlandNews to use if wanting to project iScot scenario? Also 🇳🇴 $2tr in the bank. 🇬🇧 debt £3tr

A European TV journalist has called out the BBC, accusing it of 'selective' reporting on Glasgow that shows the city through 'the darkest lens' It came after the broadcaster ran the headline 'Drugs, violence and racism: A week in Glasgow city centre' 👇

One of the best things about Scotland is the tap water. Publicly owned, delicious, paid for collectively, & govt oversight and regulation of the pay of Scottish Water execs. Water for private profit makes no sense. Scotland shows there’s a better model.

@STVNews So for context it contributes 0.02% to the economy and uses 18% of the landmass Even including deer shooting this rises to an abysmal 0.1% of the economy using 60% of the landmass Even including Time to abolish this absurd use of resources and return communities and jobs back

If the Chinese are such a threat to UK national security and simply cannot be trusted then why did Kirsty McNeil go on a trade mission back in June?

Where’s the anger from the British nationalists from this? They were quick to jump when it was Gillian Martin a few weeks ago “Foreign jolly at the taxpayer’s expense” but not for unionist politicians obviously
