Resist Jack The RebelCat @JackTheCat 7m This week, Holyrood returns to the Assisted Dying Bill, and it is hard to overstate how significant that is, not only for Parliament, but for people across Scotland who are watching this with hope, fear, grief and, in many cases, very personal memories of how someone they loved died. The bill passed stage one by 70 votes to 56, with one abstention, and now comes back at stage three. Scotland's Assisted Dying Bill is about choice, not coercion thenational.scot/politics/2592...

SCOTLAND'S ASSISTED DYING BILL IS ABOUT CHOICE AND NOT COERCION!

A retiring editor once put the Daily Mail's success down to 'giving their readers something to hate, each and every day.

Insiders say HS2 was doomed to be a failure before it began. The world largely views the UK's HS2 project as a tale of mismanagement, with it being described as the world's most expensive railway due to spiraling costs (potentially over £100bn) and severe delays, it is widely criticized internationally for poor value, environmental damage, and shrinking scope The Public Accounts Committee and experts label it a "casebook example" of how not to run a major project, citing costs that ballooned from an initial £30bn to potentially over £100bn, making it more expensive per mile than comparable European or Chinese projects. The scrapping of the northern leg (Birmingham to Manchester) has diminished the project's reputation, transforming it from a national "leveling up" project into just a faster link between London and Birmingham, where business drains from regional cities to London rather than boosting the North. Compared to France & Spain the UK's infrastructure construction is seen as much less efficient, with tunneling costs significantly higher. The nations of China and Japan are viewed as far more capable of delivering high-speed rail through dense areas at a fraction of the cost.

HS2, the most expensive railway in the world!

A relation was involved in the tram tendering process. Part of their tender, was a process for dealing with conflict resolution on time, costs etc. He was disappointed, but maybe not surprised, that the council showed no interest.

Next target

The next time ferries are mentioned remember WM's Type 45 Destroyers. Original 1999 contract. £6 billion for 12 ships. Result: £6.46 billion for 6 ships. Planned completion date 2007. Completed 2014. Currently only 3 of the ships are operational.

I am still, stunned, amazed, and shocked, that they would appoint a Social Worker to head the TIE project. At the Holyrood enquiry he even said ‘I don’t know why I was chosen’. Until HS2 seized the title TIE was ridiculed around the world as ‘how not to run an infrastructure project’.

My god, it's almost as if the Unionists were planning for failure.

No, but a unionist (Labour, Tory and Lib Dem) administration ran the council. So same level of incompetence.

Among many other examples, HS 2, 'a casebook example of how not to run a major project.' WM a monolithic political structure, utterly incapable of good governance!

Labour's attraction for lying significantly increased under Blair loving Thatcher. May both their names be vilified.

In January 2014, Nigel Farage, sparked controversy by describing the UK's strict gun laws-implemented following the 1996 Dunblane school massacre-as "ludicrous".
Let this excuse for a human being explain his views to the family and friends of the murdered children!

THE BBC ARCHITECTS OF THEIR OWN DOWNFALL. Brainwashing for the WM Establishment for over a century, until social media found them out. Let them sell off their news and political sections to an ideal partner like GB News or Fox News and then the BBC could thrive.

Read these words from 100 years ago about immigrants in Britain – and see how history is chillingly repeating itself | George Monbiot Shabana Mahmood’s new rights clampdown looks outlandish until we remember that this kind of hardline action is part of our country’s fabric, says George Monbiot

The precedent is eerily, chillingly precise. What the current Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is doing to immigrants and refugees today is almost a carbon copy of what Sir William Joynson-Hicks was doing 100 years ago. And that's not a good thing. My column.

I once sent an email to Murdo Fraser about list MSPs. He responsed no Idea I wasn't very serious.

There's lots he doesn't 'get'

Imagine Douglas Ross being leader and not you...

They Know an Independent Scotland would be one of the Richest Country’s in the World.

Good luck George. You'll no doubt will be able to deal with the witch's constant interruptions.

Murdo Fraser explains quite honestly what ''England'' will lose, with Scottish independence. x.com/i/status/193...

WHAT OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD IS SUBJECTED TO POLITICAL INTERFERENCE IN THEIR ELECTIONS BY ANOTHER COUNTRY?

WHAT THE UK LACK!
By calling out genocide and refusing the US landing rights, Spain has, in Pedro Sanchez, a PM that has the strength of character, courage and unwavering resolve to uphold ethical principles and do what is right, particularly when facing adversity, opposition, or personal risk.
