When it comes to punishments for those who have engaged in animal cruelty, like this utter khunt Glenn Tweedie, I am very much of the view an eye for an eye and a claw hammer for a claw hammer as a suitable punishment...
Instead our hapless "justice" system gives him an ankle bracelet!
It has been well established that psychopaths begin their deviancy by inflicting suffering on animals.

From the same elite political class that tells you "there is no such thing as the Magic Money Tree"...
Well there is, but it's not there to fund vital public services like maintaining the roads, empty the bins or support the NHS, instead they are spunking it on corrupt demi-fascists in a war that Ukraine already lost.
If you are wondering why your public services are no longer there and your taxes are rising, this 👇, is the reason... On top of the £25bn already sent to the unelected demi-fascists.
Know your real enemy.
Ukraine’s security is our security 🇬🇧🇺🇦
Backing Ukraine means helping it withstand Russian attacks, keeping essential services running and strengthening the security we all depend on.
The Chancellor has announced £10bn of economic support for Ukraine over three years.

The sad tale of Scottish salmon @MowiScotlandLtd
"Scottish" salmon is about as Scottish as Vincent van Gogh.
Do not buy salmon farmed in Scottish waters.
The fact that this clown is backing it should temm you all you need to know.
From Scotland. To London. To India.
First Minister @JohnSwinney visited Heathrow Airport where £300 million of Scottish salmon is exported to international markets each year, supporting Scottish businesses and thousands of jobs.

An MI5 officer told police and other local government officials in June 2002 that the IRA had fought a "just and successful campaign".
But if you express any kind of support for them publicly you will get you a 3 year prison sentence!
An SAS soldier who was first on the scene after civil rights veteran and former MP Bernadette McAliskey was shot by loyalists more than 45 years ago has said he believes the ‘republican cause was just’.

A proposed windfarm with turbines as tall as the Eiffel Tower could have a “significant impact” on local communities, including the holy island of Iona, the National Trust for Scotland warns. The proposed MachairWind development, which would see up to 144 turbines sited in waters off Scotland’s west coast with blades that could tower up to 1,000 feet above the sea.

Nothing like giving the UK's "enemies" the heads up...
Lets hope they don't hit the UK before they are ready, say on day 999!
The West is being run by actual morons.

With no direct benefit to Scots energy bills and as a net exporter of renewables to England, should Scotland be expected to bare the brunt of the worlds largest windturbines erected close to one of our most important cultural, historic and religious sites?
This short film highlights the threat to Iona.
Does Scotland have enough windfarms?
We are already a net exporter, but still Scots pay the most expensive energy costs in the UK.
Now a Spanish firm are threatening to erect 144 wind turbines, each over 1115 feet high (taller than the Eiffel Tower), off the coast of Iona, one of Scotland's most important cultural, historical and religious sites.
This short film explains why we need to say No to the Machair Windfarm.

I last daw Donal perform at the Féile an Phobail. Absolutely brilliant night and an outstanding muscian who has left behind a musical legacy that will endure for a long time.
Remembering Dónal Lunny, one of Ireland's most celebrated musicians, who has died aged 79 🤍
During his last appearance on the #LateLate in January of this year, the multi-instumentalist became the first inductee into our Trad Music Hall of Fame - a testament to his influence and the impact he had on the genre over the years.
