Making Scotland less ****ing depressing is how I'd go about it.

This will be a bit of a rant, and not aimed at you mate as I agree with you. If you solve wealth inequality, you destroy most, if not every single social problem the country is dealing with in one go. Unfortunately, we don't have anyone doing this where it matters, Westminster. I think Gary Stevenson (ex Citibank banker and economist, youtube channel Garys Economics is a good watch for understanding what's going on) is our best bet but not sure he's up for running for political office. I honestly do not see a way through this for any of us as we seem unable/unwilling to mobilise, stand beside each other and change things, they've got us waging culture wars against one another rather than focussing on the flow of money, smoke and mirrors.

£700 billion printed during Covid, where is it? The government didn't get it back so where did it go? That's enough for every working age adult in the UK to be given nearly 20 grand. I'm not 20 grand better off since 2021, and I would be willing to place a sizeable bet that nobody reading this is either. It flowed to the super rich, the people we pay our mortgages to, the behemoths we buy our food from. It's no coincidence that gold is at all time high, it's no coincidence that house prices continued to rise and rise during a cost of living crisis, it's no coincedence that stocks and shares are at all time highs during a cost of living crisis. This is what the super rich buy, this is who are buying our relatives houses, we will all end up in absolute poverty when there's nothing left. Look at India, look at South Africa, look at Brazil, rich countries that have enormous wealth inequality, that's what we're heading towards. Read Charles Dickens, it was the best of times, it was the worst of times, a few people are doing INCREDIBLY well, the problem is they all sit in a chamber every Wednesday and play politics with one another and achieve NOTHING. It's no wonder so many are on anti depressants and struggling as the world is hostile to us all right now. So many will never own the roof over their heads, so many will struggle to start a family, what is there to look forward to?

Scotland is ****ing depressing, every single country on Earth is ****ing depressing right now. I just want to make sure that we're all pissed off at the right people though. Stopping transgender women getting changed in specific locker rooms, and stopping a family from Somalia getting a boat across the channel won't put a roof over our ****ing heads, or put food on the table when there's nothing left.

It's an issue in Scotland with 1 in 5 adults on anti depressants. Maybe it should be looked at.

This particular move is about kids, but I agree that the debate needs continuing, as it has been for years.

Best rant I've read in a while and I agree with every word.

That speech from Vance was utterly despicable and very worrying.

The sheer hypocrisy of a guy to preach about listening to uncomfortable viewpoints given what is currently going on in America?

Disgusting.

Yip. Thankfully, much like last time they are not getting much done. Lots of talk but the courts are reversing everything they do. They have not taken any bill to congress yet and they need a budget past next month. While they are doing damage, most of it is reversible so far.

I wouldn’t argue with any of that, great post.

Vance's speech at the MSC.

It's almost as if the US and Russia are politically aligned. Extremely worrying.

I heard Gary on Radio 5 the other week with Nihal Arthinayke. What a guy. He seems to have all the solutions but getting into Westminster - or the heads of people there - is key. Was a great listen if you want to check out the podcast.

Maybe being a bit over-sensitive but, listening to David Lammy on the news talking about peace negotiations and he used the term ‘Zalensky and the Ukrainians’ ……. not ‘President Zalensky’. It sounded disrespectful to me and I’m sure he would not refer to ‘Putin’ or ‘Trump’ without due respect to their office. Didn’t like it.

A mention for Scotland in JDs speech albeit a load of scaremongering BS. The clause is obviously to stop people shouting from windows etc trying to circumvent the rules and not what he's shamelessly intimating.

He might change his mind should a personal advantage arise?

Look how quickly he flipped on his original views about the big orange guy?

Empty American bases out of Europe and do an initial Canada style boycott of all things American across the EU during the orange guy and his acolytes term might focus the minds a bit.

Gary Stevenson is excellent. It absolutely needs more people to get on board with wealth inequality being the issue.
The economy and the set up just now is a massive transfer of wealth /assets/cash etc from the poorest in society and now the middle classes to the super rich.
There’s no trickle down economics, people are paid by the wealthy and then give them the money straight back to pay for mortgages, energy, food, rent. That wealth is flowing one way and creates a huge problem.

Trump and Musk are out to ensure that absolutely continues with fewer barriers in the way.

Too late to change his mind on Russia, he basically parroted Putin's view of why he invaded Ukraine and thus condoning it. At best that has raised the baseline in Putin's favour in any peace negotiations and at worst he's given Putin the green light to do similar elsewhere when he's ready.

I was attempting to be sarcastic it wasn't too late for him to change his mind on his boss, his previously held views were abandoned rapidly when the VP job came up.

The Trump gang are talking along similar lines as Putin has been so it's no surprise. Fascism really doesnt need appeasement.
