Grangemouth produced 97% of Scotland’s aviation fuel. We now have to import all our aviation fuel.
Scotland is Europe's 2nd biggest oil producer. We now have to import all our oil products at inflated prices.
Scotland: Asset-stripped. Wealth-extracted. Better-together? 🤔

A fish was found on a car windscreen at Pittenweem Harbour during Storm Boelo, and naturally, the Scots in the comments have had an absolute field day. 😂🏴

In 2002, British commandos roared up a Spanish beach in their amphibious landing craft and leapt ashore brandishing assault rifles and mortars.
Bemused Spaniards in the town of La Linea de la Concepcion watched as 45 Commando unit began deploying 'tactically' in the sand.

This is two days old now.
Can you imagine the furore this would have caused if it was a bunch of Lefties?
We'd be subject to rolling footage of dawn raids with police brutality against a bunch of weedy teenagers and old women

It's not just insane it's insulting to all other groups that experience racism...

This is absolutely insane.
The UK seems to have been involved in the kidnapping of Maduro - and the story spiked by an MOD D-Notice.
The kidnapping was the most brazen act of criminality, and UK involvement would almost certainly have been given with Starmer's sign-off. A wretched, wreck of a PM. An unforgivable assault on international law.

If only this video showed Stephen Flynn using stamps inappropriately. Shit would have got real in the English media in Scotland. Nothing to see here.

Norwegians males live on average 5 years longer than Scots,
before both found oil Scots lived longer than Norwegians.

Forget the euphoria of Britain's change of policy on settlements. Palestinians, totally abandoned by the international community, are being ethnically cleansed in occupied east Jerusalem. I report for Middle East Eye on house demolitions in Al Bustan:

The incredible thing about this story is not that the Scottish and UK MSM failed to get it, but that once published they are just ignoring it bellacaledonia.org.uk/2026/1…
Every so often, I repost this article.
With this week's Jackdaw announcement, it seems appropriate to remind everyone how Westminster robbed our children of a healthy, wealthy future.
Time to think anew, & act anew.

ONLY A MORALLY SICK SOCIETY TREATS RAPISTS LIKE CELEBRITIES…
The victim he raped on camera was a 16-year-old boy.
The assault ruptured his intestines.
He died 10 days later.

Only 5,000 kids were surveyed, only 92 were Jewish, only 70 of 92 responded, and 29 said they had faced antisemitism at school. Only 2% said antisemitism was a big problem at their school and we're reclassifying it as a more serious form of racism based on that? Is this a joke?

Oh look say @STVNews 'Rosebank crude will go to Dutch refinery as no suitable refinery capacity in Yow Kay.'
No mention that country whose oil is being siphoned now has no refinery.
Grangemouth was sabotaged (passive industrial) by UK Gov in cahoots with Ratcliffe's @PetroineosGM

The claim in Sir David Bell's report that 3 in 5 Jewish students have experienced antisemitism was based on just 29 people - and was untrue.
My latest for Double Down Newswatch.
