It makes zero sense.

Guitar solos re so overrated. What ‘Hotel California’ needs is a bassoon solo, right!?

🚨JAPAN TELLS BRITAIN “RELEASE MORE OIL” Japan’s finance minister has advised Britain and the rest of the G7 to unlock more oil supplies to stabilise spiking prices. Satsuki Katayama is articulating what we’ve all been thinking! Miliband and Reeves have taken the nonsensical route, namely to ignore the North Sea. Given our already rich bottom reserves, surely now this will be a wake up call for Labour to finally DRILL!

Moronic.. And you're paying for this. Just simply moronic.

"unaffordable," risks higher bills, energy security issues, or over-reliance on intermittent renewables. funding shortfalls, slow delivery on homes/industry, or insufficient nature protections. Tony Blair and others have questioned aspects of rapid fossil fuel phase-down without technological backups.

Not drilling the North Sea - when Norway is doing exactly that - is absolute lunacy. It’s costing jobs, it’s costing tax revenues, it’s making the economy weaker and it’s damaging our energy security. We MUST Scrap Net Zero dogma. Drill the North Sea. Axe the Fuel Tax Hike. Put Britain first 🇬🇧

Norway drilled, invested, and now sits on a $1.5 trillion sovereign wealth fund. Britain restricts its own resources while importing energy at higher cost. Drill the North Sea. Every drop. As soon as possible.

While the SNP obsess over independence fantasies, hospital patients are literally dying waiting to go home.

Parliament once called it the most brilliant invention ever produced. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 It was invented by a man who fixed potholes for a living. On a foggy night in Yorkshire. Because of a cat. Percy Shaw was born in Halifax in 1890. One of ten children. Left school at thirteen. Fixed roads for a living. One foggy night in 1934 he was driving home on a stretch of road he called the death drop. The fog was so thick he couldn’t see the edge. Then two points of light. A cat on a fence. Its eyes reflecting his headlights back through the fog. He didn’t drive off the edge. The next morning he started building. A glass bead in a rubber casing. Set into a cast iron base. When a car drove over it the rubber pressed down and rainwater washed the glass clean. He patented it in 1934. Nobody was interested. Then the war came. Britain switched off every streetlight in the country. The whole country went dark. Percy Shaw’s cat’s eyes were the only thing keeping people on the roads. Parliament called it the most brilliant invention ever produced in the interests of road safety. Orders came in at 40,000 a week. Percy Shaw became a millionaire. Kept living in his terraced house in Halifax. Removed the carpets. Kept four televisions on in the same room with the sound down. Every Friday friends came round with ale and crisps. OBE. 1965. A road mender from Halifax. Britain has never run out of extraordinary people. It just ran out of people willing to help tell their stories.

Some VERY, VERY important facts ! A grasp of these essentials should reduce racism

I agree !!

Kia Ora, guess the year it was first aired? 🤔

@ProudofusUK All done without a parliament in Scotland. Instead of arguing about politics they got on with inventing the modern world.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧 In the second half of the eighteenth century, something happened in Scotland. A country of one and a half million people. Produced ideas that changed the entire world. In one generation. Adam Smith. He wrote The Wealth of Nations in 1776. He invented economics. David Hume. He asked the question nobody had dared ask. How do we actually know anything? His answer changed philosophy forever. James Watt. Walking across Glasgow Green, the idea came to him. A separate condenser. It made the steam engine practical. And started the Industrial Revolution. Joseph Black. He discovered latent heat. The principle that made refrigeration, steam power and thermodynamics possible. James Hutton. He looked at the rocks at Siccar Point. And understood the earth was unimaginably old. He invented geology. These men knew each other. They argued in the same taverns. Walked the same streets. In one generation, one small country invented economics, philosophy, geology, thermodynamics and the steam engine. The modern world runs on what they built. 🇬🇧 This is your history. Help us keep it alive. 👇 Be Part Of Us 👉 proudofus.co.uk/support 🙏 Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧

Scottish independence is now inextricably linked with supporting Palestine/Gaza while opposing Israel and letting men into women's spaces. Things have moved on quite dramatically from 2014.

United kingdom

🇬🇧 They called it the Athens of West Africa. In 1827, Britain opened a university in Freetown, Sierra Leone. Fourah Bay College. The first university in sub-Saharan Africa. Students came from Nigeria. Ghana. Gambia. Guinea. They studied law. Medicine. Theology. In English. Latin. Greek. Then they went home. While Freetown had a university, a trained legal profession and a free press, the rest of West Africa had none. No trained lawyers. No trained doctors. No independent press. Freetown had all three. Because Britain built them. The graduates built the first hospital in Nigeria. The first newspaper in Ghana. The first trained barristers in the Gambia. Schools across Guinea. When Africa demanded independence in the twentieth century, the lawyers who argued the case, the journalists who told the story, the politicians who led the movements, a disproportionate number had one thing in common. They had studied in Freetown. The Athens of West Africa. That Britain built. Fourah Bay College still stands on that hillside today. Help us keep telling our history. proudofus.co.uk/support Be Part Of Us. Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧

Insane economics… I do wonder at what point msm might start speaking up for the people they supposedly broadcast to. Stop watching channels that won’t do transparent journalism. Like stopping to spend with brands who disrespect women. It often feels like the only tool left we have

ALL FOOTBALL FANS COME LOOK AT THIS see GYOKERES 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

As the Clock goes forward so does Scotland as an integral part of this United Kingdom What a magnificent image
