Would you really like to Take Back Control?

Many people who voted for Brexit in 2016 and who voted Tory in 2019 did so from a desire to "Take Back Control" of our Laws, our Money and our Borders!... 1/10
If you did vote that way, with…Northern Ireland kicking off again? Restaurants and Shops experiencing shortages? Livestock being killed but not slaughtered as they have gone unsold? Is this what you had in mind?... 2/10
Did you want to "Take Back Control" of our Laws so that Boris and Co. could suppress democracy by illegally proroguing Parliament, or with their Voter ID plans?... 3/10
Did you want to "Take Back Control" of our Money so that Boris and Co. could find new and innovative ways to funnel Public Money into Private Pockets for products and services which were sub-standard?... 4/10
Did you want to "Take Back Control" of our Borders so that Boris & Co. could manage them so poorly that 18,000,000 people could arrive in the UK without as much as a temperature check during a Global Pandemic?... 5/10
If you have voted Tory you haven't "Taken Back Control" of anything, in fact you've "Given Up Control".

All of this has happened because of one inescapable reality, Boris Johnson is not in control, his donors are... 6/10
If you are satisfied with the billionaires who fund the Conservative Party being more powerful than the electorate then you know where to cast your vote... 7/10
But it's not too late, there is another way...

The only way to "Take Back Control" is for us not to be ruled by Boris Johnson and his Cabinet of Incompetence.... 8/10
And with Sir Keir Starmer desperately groping around in the dark trying to reconnect with his party's traditional base the UK Labour Party are not going to be the solution to this problem... 9/10
So for us Scots the only way to really "Take Back Control" is for Scotland to be an Independent Country.

So let's get behind Independence folks…

Let's actually Take Back Control. 10/10

We all want ready access to services.

We all also want MSP’s who know what’s reserved and what’s devolved!

Everyone meet Douglas Lumsden MSP, former leader of Aberdeen City Council and List MSP for the North East Region since May the 7th.

eveningexpress.co.uk/fp/news/local/…
Now Douglas is quite rightly concerned about Post Office branches closing, lack of access to cash etc.
And he quite rightly drew attention to it by raising it in Parliament and posing for a wee photo outside a local post office with a concerned look slapped all over his coupon.
But Douglas Lumsden would have done well to do a bit of research first…

Banking regulation, which led to the closure of bank branches in the first place is of course a reserved matter where he’d be better raising this with the UK Gov’t.

It’s been a struggle to find a Brexit Benefit, we were promised loads of them but they have thus far failed to materialise.

That is until today, as some of you may be aware before we became integrated with Europe we used to have the “Imperial System” for weights and measures.
Now from my standpoint the Imperial System was a bit confusing…

Money was counted in multiples of 6 and 12
Weight was counted in multiples of 7 and 14
Length was counted in multiples of 8 and 16
But when we integrated with Europe we (almost) adopted the Metric system. Now it doesn’t matter what you are counting, weighing or measuring using the Metric system it was all done in multiples of 10.

Who, doesn't enjoy a Cheeky Nandos? those Peri Peri Salted Fries and nice spicy Chicken, what's not to like?

Well it seems that things are a bit tough for Nando's at the moment...
Restaurants all over England, Scotland and Wales are suffering shortages of supplies and they have had to close about 50 premises.

Prompting this tweet from Nando's HQ...
But hang on, if Twitter has limited characters why didn't Nando's just type "UK" instead?

Well that's because there is one area of the UK not suffering from a lack of reasonably priced spicy chicken and fries. Northern Ireland is still has easily accessible Cheeky Nando's...

One could be forgiven for thinking this Photograph is one of Boris Johnson, taking a moment out of his busy day running the UK and being updated on global events, for a Poignant moment of reflection on the senseless Incel killings in Plymouth last week....
One could be doubly forgiven for thinking that was the case if you saw this image in this tweet from the UK Prime Ministers Official Twitter account...
But as is usual with @BorisJohnson this photo may not be entirely.... well... honest...

Take a closer look at the clock on the wall and you'll see that the clock duly says it's 11am, and if you're observing a moment of silence that's when it is done....

Good show Boris!...

No nation was ever going to be immune to the Covid-19 Pandemic... from Communist to Capitalist… From Large Nations to Small…. From Rich Nations to Poor… because Viruses are indiscriminate.
But many nations had the opportunity to reduce the impact of the Virus, as it swept across the globe at a terrifying pace, passing through borders, ravaging populations and overloading health services.
The UK was ideally placed to protect her citizens from Covid-19. As an island nation we had a geographic advantage, and as a nation with a well-developed, publicly owned and freely available health service we should have felt relatively safe as the virus swept towards us.

Generally we don't go in for Trolling, but sometimes it's so expertly done it can be beautiful. Like here where the Foo Fighters expertly Troll the Westboro Baptist Church in Kansas...

There goes my Hero.... Watch hime as he Trolls... 1/3
Now that would be difficult to top right? Well the British Army have just asked the Foo Fighters to "hold their beer" and expertly trolled @BorisJohnson as he inspected the troops at Sandhurst.

Watch this, and listen to the music... 2/3
Yes folks that was the British Army playing the Star Wars Imperial March (Darth Vader Theme) as they were inspected by @BorisJohnson!

Trolling Level = Legends

Have a great weekend Indy Fans. 3/3
