The Scottish parliament is just a fukin parody now.
A guy that is barely literate, 2 men masquerading as a women with one on a student visa, and we have sitting msps running about Israel instead of working for the local communities they serve.
Shut it down.

What people like Miriam Cates, the pensioner hater, need to know are these facts:
In the 1960s, most pension schemes legally barred married women and part time workers from joining a private pension scheme.
In the 1970s, private pension provision was largely restricted to public sector jobs.
During these decades, many women opted for or were put on the reduced national insurance stamp meaning they'd get a smaller state pension than their husbands. Women didn't routinely have access to financial advice like they do now. They trusted the government and their husbands to take care of them.
You may not like this. You may think it's unfair or women were daft to accept this. But that's how it was. Back then. Equality didn't exist. And you can't change attitudes and history. So no. Women couldn't have made better provision for their old age.

In all seriousness, our unelected PM Andy Burnham clearly thinks we are a nation of complete idiots.
We’re in a cost of living crisis & his answers are to save us 86 pence per week off electricity VAT, tell us google maps is the answer to our overpriced fuel problems & dangle other low hanging fruit gestures like £2 bus fares all whilst making stupid TikTok videos & constantly quoting things like “have hope in your heart”.
This imposter has been in office for 13 weeks & has done absolutely nothing to ease the financial burden that face most Brits today.
Energy bills are set to sky rocket, food prices are at an all time high & people are genuinely struggling to make ends meet.
Not to mention the money generated from our ridiculously high tax is then given away to foreign countries, ILLEGAL migrants & people looking for freebies while the country falls deeper into bankruptcy.
All this & I’ve not even mentioned the state of our national security & the clear lack of desire to stop the boats.
It honestly completely baffles me that anyone is actually falling for this nonsense & it equally blows my mind that a large majority of the British people are actually still supporting this toxic @UKLabour Party.

صدور بيان إماراتي جديد يكشف هوية ودوافع مساعد قائد طائرة "فلاي دبي":
أعلن معالي المستشار الدكتور حمد سيف الشامسي، النائب العام للاتحاد، أن التحقيقات التي تباشرها النيابة العامة بشأن واقعة رحلة شركة "فلاي دبي" رقم (FZ1073)، المتجهة من دبي إلى تل أبيب بتاريخ 30 سبتمبر 2026، كشفت عن شروع مساعد قائد الطائرة، عُماني الجنسية، في تنفيذ مخطط ذي غرض إرهابي أعد له مسبقاً، استهدف السيطرة على الطائرة واستخدامها في تنفيذ عملية انتحارية تستهدف مبنى المسافرين بمطار بن غوريون في تل أبيب، بقصد إيقاع أكبر قدر ممكن من الخسائر البشرية.
وأوضح معالي النائب العام أن التحقيقات تتبعت المسار الفكري والمهني للمتهم، البالغ من العمر (29) عاماً، وتبين أن بوادر توجهه نحو التطرف والإرهاب بدأت عام 2017، خلال فترة دراسته في أستراليا، حيث تأثر بأفكار تكفيرية من خلال قراءته مؤلفات متطرفة ومتابعته محتوى إلكترونياً يمجد التنظيمات الإرهابية والعمليات الانتحارية.
وقد تطور هذا التأثر إلى تبنيه أفكاراً تحرض على العنف والإرهاب، واستلهامه هجمات 11 سبتمبر 2001، وترسخ فكرة تنفيذ عملية مماثلة باستخدام طائرة، وهو ما ارتبط، وفقاً لاعترافاته، باتجاهه إلى امتهان الطيران.
وأضاف معاليه أن المتهم تنقل خلال مسيرته المهنية بين عدد من شركات الطيران في دول مختلفة، إذ عمل لدى الطيران العُماني من عام 2020 حتى عام 2024، ثم التحق بالخطوط الملكية المغربية مطلع عام 2025 وعمل لديها عدة أشهر، قبل انتقاله إلى شركة "فلاي دبي" في يناير 2026.
وأقر المتهم بأنه خلال فترة دراسته في مدينة ملبورن الأسترالية، تردد على مسجد تابع للمعهد الملكي للتكنولوجيا (RMIT)، وتعرف إلى القائمين على مركز "ماي سنتر" من خلال تردده على المسجد، مشيراً إلى أن المركز كان يديره شخص لبناني يُدعى "أبو حمزة"، ويحظى، بحسب أقواله، بدعم جمعية مرتبطة بجماعة الإخوان المسلمين، وأنه تهيأ نفسياً وبدنياً لتنفيذ مخططه، بتكثيف متابعة مواد تحرض على الإرهاب، والتدرب على الملاكمة على يد مدرب خاص.
وأظهرت التحقيقات أن المتهم استغل مشاركته في رحلتين سابقتين إلى تل أبيب لاستطلاع مسار الرحلة والمطار، في إطار إعداده الشخصي لمخططه الإرهابي، قبل أن يشرع في تنفيذه خلال الرحلة الثالثة بتاريخ 30 سبتمبر 2026.
كما شملت التحقيقات فحص إجراءات التحاق المتهم بشركة " فلاي دبي"، وتبين استيفاؤه متطلبات التوظيف المهنية والأمنية، بما في ذلك رخصة الطيران وشهادة حسن السيرة والسلوك والفحوص اللازمة، دون أن تظهر خلال تلك الإجراءات أية مؤشرات تكشف عن توجهاته المتطرفة أو نيته تنفيذ مخطط إرهابي.
وفي يوم الواقعة، باغت المتهم قائد الطائرة داخل قمرة القيادة واعتدى عليه بفأس الطوارئ، فيما قاوم القائد الاعتداء وحاول الاستغاثة. وكان على متن الطائرة قائد رحلة العودة، الذي تصادف وجوده بالقرب من قمرة القيادة وقت الاعتداء، فلاحظ تكرار فتح بابها وإغلاقه على نحو غير مألوف، ما أثار ارتيابه، فاقترب منها وحاول الدخول باستخدام الرمز السري، حتى تمكن من ذلك وشاهد المتهم يعتدي على قائد الطائرة وعلى الفور، تدخل بمساعدة أحد أفراد الضيافة وعدد من الركاب، وتمكنوا من إنقاذ القائد المصاب والسيطرة على المتهم، فيما تولى قائد رحلة العودة ومساعده استعادة السيطرة على الطائرة وتحويل مسارها والهبوط بها بسلام في مطار تبوك بالمملكة العربية السعودية.
وقد أدلى المتهم، في حضور محاميه ومع كفالة جميع الضمانات القانونية المقررة له، باعتراف تفصيلي بدوافعه ومراحل التخطيط والتنفيذ، مقراً بأنه تصرف بمفرده دون مشاركة آخرين، فيما لا تزال التحقيقات جارية للتحقق من ذلك.
كما استمعت النيابة العامة إلى أقوال قائد الطائرة وطيار رحلة العودة ومساعده وأفراد الطاقم، وأثبت تقرير الطب الشرعي أن إصابات قائد الطائرة تركزت في الرأس، وهو موضع حيوي قاتل، وأنها حديثة ومعاصرة للواقعة، ونتجت عن الاعتداء بأداة تتفق في طبيعتها مع فأس الطوارئ، بما يتوافق مع أقوال المتهم وقائد الطائرة وشهادات الشهود.
وتواصل النيابة العامة فحص الأدلة والتحقق من وجود شركاء أو ارتباطات أخرى، واستكمال التسجيلات والتقارير الفنية، على أن تعلن ما يستجد من نتائج وفقاً لما تقتضيه مصلحة التحقيق.

This is James Newton-Price KC — the judge who denied @RealDannyTommo bail.
He previously granted bail to a Pakistani GP who sexually abused patients and a funeral director who allowed bodies to rot in hot weather.
Newton-Price is a Labour supporter. 🇬🇧

We now live in a country that gives a man two years in prison for throwing a plastic water bottle and swearing at police,
And gives a migrant Deliveroo driver that brutally raped a pregnant woman causing a miscarriage to 12 MONTHS in prison.
Fucked isn’t the word.

If you arrive on the beach dressed all in black to protest against illegal immigrants, you get arrested. If you arrive on the beach dressed all in black as an illegal immigrant, you get a hotel room. It’s beyond a joke
@EscapeLoungesUK when first opened experience was great. Today food was hard & cold, no pastries topped up & desk staff on their phones. Seriously needs reviewing. Made us wait 30 mins for entry yet 50% of seats were empty & remained empty during our visit. Needs sorting out.

Took a date to an Italian restaurant and decided to show her how sophisticated and worldly I was. I took the menu and said that I would order for both of us.When the waiter came to our table I just said, in my best Italian accent, we will both have the paggione. The waiter looked at me with an amazed look on his face and his mouth open, obviously impressed by my command of his language. He bent down towards me and said in hushed tones, " sir, that is page one"

Whether you're a business owner employing staff, a parent paying school fees, a farmer planning succession, an entrepreneur building wealth or simply someone trying to save for retirement...
You keep less of what you earn.
You keep less of what you invest.
You leave less to your family.
Death by a thousand cuts is becoming tax policy.

No, Andy Burnham. All parts of the country do NOT need to “play their part” and take hordes of illegal migrants who pose a threat to their communities.
You, and the Government, need to play your part and stop thousands upon thousands breaking into Britain.
Thanks. @andyburnham
Neither does @andyburnham we cannot continue living like this. It is a nightmare.

I voted against devolution in Scotland.
Every single person who voted against Holyrood has been proved 100% correct.
When you get to the stage of a student from India who takes the side of rapists being an MSP then it is time to shut it down.

Absolutely disgraceful.
