What is the consequence of traducing these communities in Epping, Diss, elsewhere as merely bigoted? A disintegrated contract between government and governed. A vacuum exploited. We are in dangerous times.
1. Since when were our constitutional arrangements determined by opinion polls? At the GE the SNP was humiliated. And, as recently as last month, it lost the Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse by-election. 2. You can’t have decolonisation in a country which is not a colony.
You're behind the times. Polls are consistently showing YES over 50% & SNP CONSISTENTLY WIN the governing of Scotland. Time to accept - Scots NO LONGER WANT THE UNION & its going down, one way & another. Decolonisation 1st, then Indy. 😃👍

"What makes Boylan’s novel so brilliant is that it’s relatable. It conjures up early 20th century Paris and Vienna with superlative clarity while describing events and characters that are all entirely relevant." --Dante Pettapiece. Read it and see if you agree!
You can critique Reform's funding calculations but you better believe the announcements have emotional resonance with huge numbers of ordinary people who see their streets surrendered to low level crime and incivility. This is an inadequate response. Do better.
Reform are pretending to be tough on crime, meanwhile their newest MP let off a dangerous drunk driver last year and told her: “It is what it is.” You couldn’t make it up.
When I set out to write this book I always thought I'd be the only reader, so I wrote it for myself - a murder mystery set in rural Sussex in WW2 with a bit of Jack Reacher and a bit of Foyle's War. Some action. Some romance. Even a bit of carpentry! Check it out!…

@HairyCooIII claims the devolved SNP administration paid winter fuel payments last winter despite being shown it cancelled them, then accuses me of lying and blocks me. Hilarious.
Completely ridiculous that public money is being used to bail out an organisation that wilfully spurns entirely respectable private sector sponsorship.
The rich were paying for the book festival (via Bailie Gifford). The woke said they couldn't. Now ordinary taxpayers have to pay (via grants from the useless gov). Just phenomenally stupid isn't it. heraldscotland.com/news/25264499.…
I’ve just been blocked by @CanonOconnor who, as well as accusing me of being a ‘fake social media account’ attributed the SNP’s humiliation at the 2024 General Election to “people's hatred of the Conservative Party”. Jeez! 🙄
