Some, too, will say, that’s nothing to do with the SNP but if they do ask them ‘What if it had gone up, who’d be to blame then?’ Anyhow, the Guardian today has: The health service’s 2025 staff survey found that one … Continue reading Voters are entitled to know which party has reduced violence against NHS staff the most before they vote – 30% in Scotland after nearly two decades of….

Labour Baroness MSP blames SNP for drug deaths as gangs run children to drug houses in Scotland’s century-long Labour-run-down seaside towns like some she knows well, from places such as ‘Blackpool and Rhyl’

Yesterday, they told us CRIMINAL gangs are exploiting kids as young as NINE to use as drug mules across Britain’s rail network. The youngsters are recruited — and often kept there by threats — as part of “county lines” ­operations, where drugs are transported from major cities to supply dealers in smaller towns across the country. It was no surprise then to read: The … Continue reading Labour Baroness MSP blames SNP for drug deaths as gangs run children to drug houses in Scotland’s century-long Labour-run-down seaside towns like some she knows well, from places such as ‘Blackpool and Rhyl’

Independence will end poverty

By Liz S Independence for Scotland can in the future, with the right government, at least hopefully be able to prioritise ordinary people over other supposed priorities that both the current and the past UK governments have spent way too much time , energy and money upon. Indeed these other priorities do little to help people in the here and now, as instead they actually do the opposite. Nuclear weapons are not a deterrent but they are a threat….to all humanity (and also to all other beings who share this planet). Unfortunately we have UK governments, as well as some other rogue governments within … Continue reading Independence will end poverty
