'Sir' David Kirkwood Reform UK Scotland

It seems to me that our governments are enthusiastically doing the bidding of an international network of psychopathic megalomaniacs. If you have a better explanation for the state of the world today, please let me know.

There’s something almost tragic about this, and not in the theatrical sense, but in the slow, grinding way truth gets buried under policy slogans until reality forces it back to the surface. Because what you’re looking at there isn’t just a newspaper headline. It’s a reckoning. Last year, residents were told they were exaggerating. That what they were seeing with their own eyes, the disorder, the theft, the anti social behaviour, was somehow “misinformation”. That word has become a kind of moral silencer, hasn’t it. A way of dismissing lived experience when it becomes inconvenient to the narrative. And now here we are. The figures don’t whisper. They shout. Crime nearly doubling. Violent incidents up. Theft up. Hundreds of reports in the immediate vicinity. You don’t need to be a statistician to see the pattern. You just need the honesty to admit it. This is the deeper problem. It’s not only about whether a facility works or doesn’t. It’s about what happens when institutions lose the courage to tell the truth early. When concerns are dismissed not because they’re wrong, but because they are politically awkward. Residents weren’t spreading misinformation. They were doing what communities have always done at their best. They were bearing witness. And instead of being listened to, they were managed. That’s the word I keep coming back to. Managed. Not heard. Not engaged. Not respected. Managed. There’s a moral cost to that. Catholic social teaching would call it a failure of subsidiarity. Decisions made far from the people who must live with the consequences, and then imposed with a kind of technocratic certainty that brooks no dissent. And when dissent comes anyway, it gets labelled. But reality has a way of breaking through ideology. It always does. You can only suppress truth for so long before it starts showing up in police reports, ambulance callouts, and headlines like this. And here’s the hard truth that nobody wants to say out loud. If a policy cannot tolerate scrutiny from the very people it affects, it’s not robust policy. It’s theatre. The question now isn’t whether residents were right. They were. The real question is whether anyone in authority has the humility to admit it, and more importantly, the courage to change course. Because if they don’t, this won’t be the last headline. It’ll just be the first one they can’t explain away.

Almost 80% of UK Met Office stations have error margins of up to 2C, with many as bad as 5C. Yet the same agency claims new records down to a hundredth of a degree. Of the UK's 380 stations, only 14% meet World Meteorological Organization standards. The rest sit beside roads, buildings or runways, places like Heathrow and St James' Park. According to the WMO, almost half of UK stations are rated Class 4, unreliable, with a third rated Class 5, effectively junk. These distorted readings feed climate emergency headlines and Net Zero policies. Meanwhile, satellite and high-grade US datasets show only slight warming - a continuation of the post-Little Ice Age temperature rise. But those don't serve the narrative, so they're routinely ignored.

New patch for the Linux Kernel requires Age Verification when creating every file. He even went through the trouble to make actual code for it. Tested by “someone’s nephew”. 🤣

@KemiBadenoch @Conservatives @RicHolden Will that include a new Cones Hotline?

Today I’m announcing the @Conservatives National Pothole Patrol. That’s a fleet of road-repairing machines which could be deployed directly to fix potholes. To get Britain working again, we have to fix Britain’s roads. And only the Conservatives will get it done.

Isolated Scottish Met Office station still providing temperature and rainfall figures to two decimal points, six decades after it closed. Truly the scientific miracle workers walk amongst us. My latest article for the Daily Sceptic.

@LUDENClassics TVR Cerbera?

Ouch. Guess the car

And so it begins… My Primary 1 daughter gets a letter outlining the ‘sexuality’ education she will be getting.. Government needs to get the f*ck out of peoples lives.

@auto_moto_pl @Christi70490715 It's rotating the wrong way.

@fag__end @ICannot_Enough Close, but no cigar.

Nobody is skeptical of autonomous elevators because nobody alive today was even around to see a human elevator operator in real life before the last one got laid off. Automation is far safer.

@SoritesMinor @ICannot_Enough It's difficult to crash something that only travels in two dimensions*, but the step in or out was sometimes hazardous. * It wasn't a Sirius Cybernetics Happy People Transporter.

@dakppc @ICannot_Enough Drunk??? It's fortunate he was never in a crash!

@ColinBrazierTV @batmanfan935 He's right. That's why the make-believe world of politics is so alien to engineers like me.

“In engineering, you are peer reviewed by reality”. From Rory Sutherland, in this week’s Spectator.

"Of LGBT Youth Scotland's £2.1 million in funding last year, well over half came direct from the public sector. The vast majority of its expenditure is on employing 48 staff, at a cost of nearly £1.5 million." 48 staff? What on earth do they all do beyond pumping out propaganda for schools? Genuinely shocking report in the Times thetimes.com/article/af63fc…

Last time around, the SNP promised they'd not raise income tax. They broke that promise without a second thought. This time around they won't even promise... Scotland can't afford another 5 years of the SNP. For change, the only choice is Reform.

The woman, the myth, the legend. Meet the Scottish political and media establishments worst nightmare folks 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@SnackbarOp @ziggy6769 I'm not anti-anything. I'm pro-Scotland, and Scotland's best future lies within the UK. From our new manifesto:

@ziggy6769 @dakppc See if he was willing to discuss why it isn't such a huge issue, maybe we would stop going on about it. It's put off people joining, standing; I am still on the fence regarding my vote in May. We can all change our mind but we just want candidates that are totally anti-SNP.

I will again not be endorsing Reform in the upcoming holyrood elections. During the General Election I pointed out the number of independence candidates within Reform especially within its leadership ranks. After speaking to people within Reform I was assured these candidates would be weeded out and they are a pro UK party. This has not happened in fact there’s more independence candidates than there was in the General Election. Their stance is still they are a pro UK party but are not ruling out a second referendum so I cannot back Reform in Scotland and never will.

@ziggy6769 @SnackbarOp As I said, debate depends on at least one side listening. Do you understand my and our party's view on independence now?

@dakppc @SnackbarOp You are a politician that’s your job in an election is to debate those who have genuine concerns

@ziggy6769 @SnackbarOp There's no point in "debating" with people who will not listen. I am sick fed up with telling people that I do not support Scotland leaving the union and then having those people repeating the same old lies again.

@dakppc @SnackbarOp Sorry but that’s embarrassing if you want to win votes you need to be more adult about debating.

@SnackbarOp @ziggy6769 🥱

@ziggy6769 They're not going to be weeded out as long as David Kirkwood is high up in it. Multiple people have gone to Reform about ex-SNP/independence supporters in the party and they aren't interested. If they don't want to be serious then people will just find someone else to vote for.
