Huge Row at Scots Asylum Hotel.

[Michael Rolls]

Another protest rally in Perth, this time at The Station Hotel. This used to be Perth's five star hotel, it was so posh, you could almost smell money when you went through the doors into reception. I was at a few Linedances there back in the early 2000s. I can't believe there's migrants in it now.    

It's quite famous for Queen Victoria often staying there. You don't get much posher than that.

Stupid woman. Fleeing persecution, war, etc in FRANCE?

We used to take a load of school children(approx 150) to Bonskeid  House outside of Pitlochry.  The impression of the county/shire/whatever your preferential name for Perthshire  was that it was pretty affluent and posh.

Why the hell would anyone want to ruin it???

My mother talked about Bonskeid House.  She went there in her teens as part of a lical church group.  That would have been in the 1920s.

Not sure.  It'll come after one more accusation of rape/molestation of a child imho.  At which point, nobody will be safe.  Starmer may well get his starm-troopers into action, but, given the release of wots her name earlier this week, woe betide anyone who wants to repeat that level of ott inappropriate policing and subsequent sentencing.

All of this could have been prevented if Starmer had done his job properly.  There's no use him berating Reform/Farage.  It's not that sort of game.  He needed to get hard pronto, and stop trying to play softball politics with the electorate.  And he deffo needed not to start screaming "hard right". 

All in all, he's a ferquit of the highest order.

Notting Hill carnival today and tomorrow. Could be a bloodbath.  

IMHO the problem starts way before France, who are having to cope with even greater numbers than we are.  Western Europe has become a magnet, and once these illegal, so called asylum seekers, get there, they have to be processed.   I can't believe the EU whose outdated ECHR laws are being manipulated, haven't taken collective action.

.

It's got an interesting history.  Originally owned by the Barbour (jacket) family iirc.  Then used as hospital during the wars.  Then it had a block built and was used as a hostel (which is when we used to take school children).  Then it was bought privately and the owners restored it and took the block down.

Going back to Starmer and Reform, I read that Farage is going to America again with the intention of disclosing all of the Lucy Connolly charade, disclosing TwoTier's efforts in preventing the right of free speech in this country.  I'm sure everyone in 'the land of the free' will be very interested, if they haven't already read about it.
Another nail in TwoTier's coffin!

Good for Farage!

I wish he would have a word with that idiot Penny Wong of Australia while he's there .
That woman is doing her best to destroy Australia

I hadn't heard of that.  Who is she, and what is she doing?

[muddy]

She is the Minister of Foriegn Affairs Australia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penny_Wong

Very left wing Israel hating Hamas apologist

Now she is in the USA to promote find raising for the rebuilding of Gaza even as she says they don't release the hostages .

The Australian tax payer will no doubt have to contribute .

Were she living in Gaza being gay  she may have  been chucked off a roof top but as a woman more likely forced into an arranged marriage to correct this tendency .

How disappointing.  I had no idea that Australia was so left-wing.  If they're not careful, they will go the same way as Broken Britain.

Sadly they are well on their way .
It's like a virus that infects the brain in western type cultures .
Eg Canada is already lost as far as I can see .

How sad.  I was under the assumption that the present decay of Britain was not happening, or not as bad, as it is today here.
I can believe that Britain might one day become a third-world country, but I would never have thought that might happen to places like Australia, New Zealand, Japan, or the US.

[muddy]

It won't happen in Japan .
Behind all that bowing they are nationalistic and still believe they are the superior race .

From something I saw about Toyota's new aluminium battery they could well be. Might actually make battery cars viable depending on price of vehicle and cost of electricity of course. 1,000 mile range and charge in 5 minutes
