As BBC Scotland lead of with one lung cancer case, their main webpage ignores the above and the BBC Scotland Politics page still has three iPad roaming charges stories and hangs on to a Labour Lord’s outburst on ferry costs, we see what they are.
No public information of any note, not here and not on any front pages, shockingly, in the midst of a genocidal war directly affecting Scottish citizens, condemned cross-party in the Scottish Parliament, the central role of the First Minister, a genuinely democratically elected leader is hidden from the public.
Even the STUC itself did not post images of the event but merely shared the FM’s own post: https://twitter.com/HumzaYousaf/status/1728467782105272831
Tell you something?
In the speech he said:
Why did you turn up time and time again? Why did we all turn up, why do we attend rallies like this?
We do so because human rights, because equality is in the DNA of the trade union movement, and I would suggest it’s in the DNA of every good-minded Scot and every good-minded person and that is the vast, overwhelming majority of this country. And herein perhaps lies the lesson that whichever community needs us wherever they are in Scotland or abroad, we stand shoulder to shoulder with them.
I will always – this is my commitment and my pledge to you – I will always raise my voice for those who are facing hatred who need someone to amplify their voice, whether it’s at home or whether it’s abroad and I will do that even if I am the only lone voice. Thankfully with the trade union movement I very rarely am.
Let’s say that clearly to the people of Gaza, parents who have seen their children killed. The children didn’t die they didn’t pass away, the children that were killed. And to those children who have been orphaned. Be in no doubt whatsoever that Scotland, and our trade union movement, we stand with you. And not only do we stand with you, we demand more of humanity than a humanitarian pause. We demand more than after four days on day five the killing resumes again. We demand more than simply resuming the killing of children. And that’s why I, and I’m pleased that I’m joined by the majority of the Scottish Parliament and I know the overwhelming majority of Scottish society. We demand a ceasefire and we demand one now. And we demand a ceasefire because we believe in peace.

Surely these are important words for all of us to hear? Had Anas Sarwar said them?

If only the STUC rally had been scheduled for one of the Scottish islands and delegates were stranded due to a late Ferry – then that is FrontPage News !

I’m glad that some politicians are speaking out against what Israel is doing and highlighting how sinister and callous Israel is , I wish they would also highlight how the bully USA homes in and threatens anyone that tries to stop the fight their actions speak loud and clear in favour of this decimation of Palestinian babies children women and men
