I can't help but feel you fellas are missing the great white elephant in the room

Massive bags of cash to the El presidente of whichever country the Chinese want influence over does that

Just the last 200 years of African history

Are you saying that African countries back the persecution of minority groups in China because... colonialism? So it’s nothing to do with the billions in funding provided whatsoever? Interesting take if so.

There's obviously a proximate reason they'd have quite muted criticism and that would be Chinese investment. That's set against a backdrop of perhaps not taking everything the western world says at face value based on anything from colonialism to dissolving Lumumba in acid.

Ngl think it’s the cash bud.

Easy win in Airdrie and Shotts

 

The MSM reporting is unsurprisingly shocking.  BBC leading with a drop in the majority, this is totally down to a drop in turnout.  The Guardian talking about a swing to Labour.

The share of the SNP vote actually rose by 1.4% compared to the GE.

The Scottish polis need to have a word with yon wee frumpy dumpy midden Patel for trying to insight a riot. Nae Pasaran.

Im pretty sure said word happened yesterday, the words from the Chief Supt ‘taken the operational decision to release the men’, thats pretty much as big a ‘telt’ as youre ever going to see from the police. Allegedly the home office were absolutely raging. One day maybe a book with an account of everything that happened that day will be written.

I think, but maybe its more hope, that yesterday might be remembered as a day where something changed in Scotland. Where folk realised that you can take to the streets and make a difference, ans if you do it properly and peacufully, you will be heard.

I'm pleased the Scottish government sent a strong message that the " hostile environment " ( fuckin mon then  look at us acting the  hard man, no surrender! - bull in a china shop) approach to immigration law enforcement,  is not wanted in Scotland.

smashing someone's door in at 5 am, like you would with knows violent drug dealers ,  is a massively inappropriate use of force for such an alleged visa overstay or unsuccessful asylum application .  it is nothing but pandering to the lowest in our society

Desperate. Priti Patel is simply not equipped to go up against Sturgeon in a war of words or any other sort of dispute. Long may they remain blissfully unaware of how out of touch and out of step with Scotland and its people. Its all just fuel. 

 

Vermin scum.

Hopefully folk keep blocking the vans in and send her into a trump style Twitter melt down. She really is something else how anyone votes for her or works for her at the home office is beyond me.

Listening to the Pollokshields incident being discussed on Jeremy Vine and the gammon was sizzling. Lots of comments trying to frame it as the SNP whipping up Scotland v England divisions.

Fair play to the protester from Maryhill who called in, although she was clearly opposed to independence she emphasised that it had absolutely nothing to do with that.

I don't really mind this, it's good to have a high profile lawyer in the public consciousness. A bit like that fox killer down south who has ended up doing some really good work on covid contract corruption. Name recognition helps with cut-through.

Jolyon Maugham isn't really known for being a fox killer.

He's known for owning two windmills and for fucking the windmills.

I cannot stand Jeremy Vine. His whole show has morphed into an LBC type hysteria-fest. Smarmy git.

It gives me a laugh when I'm WFH.

No matter what topic is being discussed Jezza or AN Other have to offer an often insanely contrarian viewpoint for the sake of balance.
