With yet more evidence emerging about the SNP's conspiracy against the "mighty oak" Alex Salmond, we are reposting George Galloway's tribute to Alex after his death two years ago. #NoVotesSNP #VoteWorkers "Alex Salmond was a friend of mine. We were exactly the same age. We entered the houses of parliament on the very same day almost 40 years ago. Alex Salmond was the man who did more than anybody else to bring Scotland closer than it has ever been to the break-up of the British state. One of the last things that Alex Salmond tweeted was the eerie comparison between the unequivocal 'I will stand with Israel' coming from Keir Starmer and the equally Messianic, unequivocal commitment given by Tony Blair, the former Labour Prime Minister to George W. Bush that "whatever happens, we will be with you" in the illegal invasion of Iraq which turned into such a cataclysmic failure. Alex Salmond was a man of many parts widely read, erudite in the extreme, articulate, but above all, brave. He did not go with the tide. He was not a weather vane. He stood up for what he believed in always. Even in private conversations that I had with him so many times, in London especially, he never once sought to elide the fundamental difference between us. That didn't mean we couldn't be friends. We were across the political aisle from him but we respected him, admired him, admired the way he would disrupt the most august parliamentary occasions like the budget when no one else would have thought to do so and if they had would not have had the courage to do so. Alex Salmond was effectively crucified by his own party members. His successor, Nicola Sturgeon and the gangrenous crew around her conspired to set up Alex Salmond on fake sex charges of which he was acquitted by a majority female jury in front of a woman judge in the high court in Edinburgh, but the SNP never forgave him. Although they issued condolences on the night of his demise, they had already excised him five years before from all and any mention from the website of the SNP. The SNP killed Alex Salmond. They contributed mightily to his death. If not for them, he might well still be alive. Indeed, if they had gotten their way, he would have died in prison a 70-year old man. But they failed in that and Alex was on his way to a kind of resurrection. His party, Alba, was beginning to pick up in the polls, and as can be seen from the entire Scottish media, which participated in the crucifixion of Alex Salmond. No one can deny now that he is dead that he was a major and mighty figure. A mighty oak has fallen. We shall not see the likes of him again in Scottish politics." George Galloway Leader of the Workers Party October 2024

@LeeHarris @Liz621959 I loved that the speaker called her “Dame Diane Abbott” and the house jeered him for his error and cheered her for the overdue accolade. She’d probs have turned it down mind.

Ooft! Diane Abbott just ended Keir Starmer political career. "Knowing Peter Mandelson's history, going back 30 years, it's one thing to say 'nobody told me', the question is WHY DIDN'T THE PM ASK?" When Diane Abbott, of all people, has the moral high ground, you know it's over

@SamaHoole @RedPavlova My kids (born in the 90’s) endured poor catering at first school but in middle school: they enjoyed the meals provided by an excellent in-school dinner service which managed to tempt many of the kids away from expecting chicken nuggets every day. Result: they closed the school!

A British school dinner in 1975 was cooked on-site, from whole ingredients, by a dinner lady who knew, without consulting a nutritional database, what a growing child needed to eat. The dinner was: roast beef, gravy from the drippings, boiled potatoes, cabbage, and sponge pudding with custard made from eggs and milk. Or shepherd's pie from real mince. Or liver and onions. Or fish on Friday, battered and fried in beef dripping. In a single sitting: haem iron from the meat, calcium from the custard, B12 from the liver, vitamin A from the gravy fat, vitamin D from the eggs, zinc from the beef, omega-3 from the fish, collagen from the gravy, complete protein from every component, and roughly 800 calories dense enough to carry a child through an afternoon of running around a playground in January. Then the system changed. In the 1980s and 1990s, local authority catering was outsourced. On-site kitchens closed. Dinner ladies were made redundant. Central production kitchens began manufacturing meals reheated in convection ovens. The roast beef became a turkey twizzler. The shepherd's pie became a pre-formed disc of processed potato and reconstituted meat product. The liver disappeared entirely. The fish was coated in breadcrumbs and fried in vegetable oil. The custard was made from powder, water, and yellow colouring. The sponge pudding was replaced by a yoghurt tube. Jamie Oliver's 2005 campaign filmed children who could not identify a tomato. Kitchens where the only equipment was a deep fryer and a microwave. Menus that contained less nutritional value in a full week than the 1975 dinner contained in a single sitting. The government pledged reform. But the on-site kitchen did not come back. The dinner lady did not come back. The roast beef and the liver and the custard made from eggs did not come back. The 1975 dinner lady, who had no nutritional qualification and had never heard of a DIAAS score, was producing, at approximately 30p per serving, a meal that contained more bioavailable nutrition than anything the modern system produces at three times the cost. She has been replaced by a supply chain. The supply chain is more expensive. The children are less well fed. The dinner lady knew what she was doing. Nobody asked her.

Famous politician George Galloway reveals the entire British press was legally gagged from reporting a draconian trial. It took an American journalist and a brave MP using parliamentary privilege to expose how Keir Starmer is actively destroying basic British civil liberties.

@SamaHoole @mjdaly57 Mothers were given cod liver oil at baby clinics up and down the country and many boomers have the horrors at the stuff but we would not have the collapsing figures for heights of five year old boys if the milk and the cod liver oil were still universal.

In 1946 the British government introduced free school milk for every child in the country. One third of a pint, every school day, from the age of five to the age of fifteen. The milk was whole. Full-fat. From British dairy herds. It was delivered to the school gate in small glass bottles with foil caps and left on the doorstep in metal crates, where it sat in the sun until morning break if the weather was warm and developed a slightly suspect taste that an entire generation of British adults can still describe with uncomfortable precision. The generation that grew up on school milk was, by every anthropometric measure, the healthiest generation of British children ever recorded. Average height increased. Bone density improved. Dental health, despite the sugar in everything else, improved. Iron deficiency rates among school-age children dropped. The growth charts that the Ministry of Health had been keeping since the war showed a consistent, measurable, year-on-year improvement that tracked precisely onto the introduction of the milk programme. In 1971 Margaret Thatcher, then Education Secretary, cut free school milk for children over seven. The tabloids called her Thatcher the Milk Snatcher. She was vilified. She kept the policy. The next generation of British children, the ones who grew up without the daily third of a pint, were measurably less healthy than the one before. The growth charts show it. The dental records show it. The conscription medicals, while they lasted, showed it. The thing the milk had been providing, the calcium, the vitamin D, the vitamin A, the complete amino acid profile, the conjugated linoleic acid, the fat-soluble nutrients that a growing skeleton requires in order to reach its genetic potential, was no longer arriving at morning break in a glass bottle with a foil cap. It was replaced, eventually, by nothing. Or by a carton of fruit juice. Or by a packet of crisps from the vending machine that appeared in the school corridor in the 1990s. The generation that drank the milk is now in its seventies and eighties. They are, on average, taller, stronger-boned, and longer-lived than the generation that came after them. The milk was not magic. The milk was milk. It was the thing the body needed, delivered at the time the body needed it, at a cost the government considered acceptable until it didn't. The cost of not providing it has been rather higher.

SHE REPORTED FRAUD AT ONE OF BRITAIN'S BIGGEST COMPANIES. NOBODY CARED. THEN IT ALL COLLAPSED. Emma Mercer started her new finance job at Carillion in early 2017. Six weeks in, she found something that made her stomach drop. The books were wrong. Costs were being hidden. Profits were being made to look bigger than they were. On projects worth hundreds of millions of pounds, the numbers simply did not match reality. She told her boss. He brushed her off. She told the CEO. Same response. She went to HR because she had run out of people willing to listen. A board member later described her in writing as a whistleblower who did not feel she was listened to. She was right about everything. Every single thing. But instead of launching an independent investigation, the board quietly scrapped the idea of outside scrutiny and handed the job back to @KPMG, the company's own auditors. The same firm that had been signing off Carillion's accounts as healthy for 19 consecutive years. The same firm collecting £29 million in fees from the very company it was supposed to be independently checking. MP Frank Field said it plainly in Parliament. KPMG were asked to mark their own homework. They gave it top marks. Eight months after Emma Mercer raised the alarm, Carillion collapsed. January 2018. The biggest compulsory liquidation in British history. Here is what that actually meant for real people: 3,000 workers lost their jobs overnight. 28,500 people in Carillion's pension schemes saw their retirement savings cut. A £2.6 billion pension black hole left ordinary workers worse off for years. Taxpayers handed over £150 million just to keep hospitals, schools and prisons running while the mess was cleaned up. Meanwhile, Carillion's former Finance Director Richard Adam sold every single share he owned on the day the 2016 annual report was published. He walked away with £750,000. The shares were worthless months later. It took the regulator five years to act. When it finally did, KPMG was fined £21 million, a record. Investigators also discovered KPMG staff had faked meeting minutes and altered spreadsheets to deceive the regulator during its inspection. The lead audit partner was banned from the profession for 10 years. The fine was less than what KPMG earned from Carillion. One woman told the truth in her first six weeks on the job. She was ignored, sidelined and described as a problem. The executives who ignored her kept their bonuses. The auditors who backed them up kept their fees. The workers who had nothing to do with any of it paid the price. This is how British corporate accountability works.

Remember Dan Price...that CEO who took a pay cut so he could pay all his employees a minimum annual wage of $70,000? Here’s what happened next: “Six years later after the decision that others said would destroy his business, Dan reports that revenue has tripled, the customer base has doubled, 70% of his employees have paid down debt, many bought homes for the first time, 401(k) contributions grew by 155% and turnover dropped in half. His business is now a Harvard Business School case study.” In his own words: “6 years ago today I raised my company's min annual salary to $70k. Fox News called me a socialist whose employees would be on bread lines. Since then our revenue tripled, we're a Harvard Business School case study & our employees had a 10x boom in homes bought. Always invest in people.” Courtesy of Craig Henley

Remember Janet Ossebaard? The fearless Dutch researcher who dove headfirst into the deepest rabbit hole and dragged the global elite’s darkest secrets into the light. In 2020 she dropped the bombshell documentary series “The Fall of the Cabal”, a relentless exposé that later expanded into over 30 parts. Janet didn’t hold back. She exposed the full spectrum of hidden control: central banks, shadow governments, media manipulation, and satanic networks at the highest levels. But the part that hit like thunder? PIZZAGATE. In the explosive “Children, Art & Pizza” section, she laid bare what she called a worldwide child trafficking and ritual abuse machine. Coded symbols, elite “pizza parties,” disturbing “art,” underground networks, and patterns linking politicians, Hollywood, royalty, and billionaires to horrific crimes, including adrenochrome and satanic rituals. She backed it with documents and survivor testimonies that woke millions up to the nightmare. Her calm narration made the unthinkable impossible to ignore. The series exploded across Bitchute and Rumble, fueling the Great Awakening like few others. Then the tragedy. In late 2023, after publicly stating she would NEVER commit suicide, Janet was found dead in Sweden. Official ruling, overdose. Janet risked everything to expose the monsters and fight for the children. Her work lives on.
