It's time to realise that this is a tax on every single Scot who needs any kind of accommodation for any purpose, tourism or otherwise, anywhere in the country. It's an accommodation tax on all of us & how it is being set up will do a great deal of self harm. #SaveSC

Wonderful, wonderful woman. Privilege to know her. As fearless as she is funny, which is really saying something. Xx

Appalling racism.
.@SenJohnKennedy: You support Hamas, do you not?
@AAIUSA's Maya Berry: Hamas is a foreign terrorist organization that I do not support...You asking the executive director of the Arab American Institute that question very much puts the focus on the issue of hate in our country?

#SaveSC More evidence of incompetent legislation leading to unintended consequences despite repeated warnings. When are politicians going to get off their backsides & prevent the harm? @scotgov @ELCouncil @mcmillwynd @PaulMcLennan7 @elcourier eastlothiancourier.com/news/…

This is a recurring trope among infogarchs like him: all praise is regarded as valid, and any criticism is dismissed as false. It’s an insane, topsy-turvy mind-world, where proof of how right you are is actually demonstrated by showing how many think you’re wrong.
A wall of negative headlines was so predictable. They’re such NPCs 🤣🤣
All this does is drive even more people to listen to the conversation themselves and realize how much the legacy media lies to them!

Yesterday the @Telegraph published a comment piece by Viscount Matt Ridley about renewable energy, littered with misleading claims.
What to make of it? 🧵

@Edinburgh_CC continues to close indigenous micro businesses in favour of international hotel chains.
Brilliant.
The gratuitous defenestration of Scottish small accommodation providers.

“Accommodation fiasco hits Edinburgh.”
Who’d have thought that shutting down all the established self catering operators to leave the field clear for big hotel chains and unlicensed apart-hotels would send prices through the roof?

Ironically #Edinburgh & #Glasgow now face an issue that was limited to developing destinations. Councils are asset stripping local businesses to benefit offshore investors. Source: thelasttouristfilm.com/ #SaveSC @PaulMcLennan7 @RichardLochhead @ASSCnews @mediawummin @donturvLDR

Regrettably this was always going to happen. Industry warned that this would be the outcome of #STL licensing and the Planning Control Area. #UnintendedConsequences don't happen where there is real collaboration. Therefore.... they must be #IntendedConsequences. @scotgov

Think Jackie.. regulation has to work. That requires a licensing scheme that is used by all. Set a stupidly high bar in terms of cost/effort then some will go under it..
