Well I hope this is working uh I just wanted to make a video about recent experiences I’ve had in relation to walking around Scotland in various places like Edinburgh and the Scottish borders first of all I had the pleasure to go to a parkk and ride just outside
Edinburgh because Scott rail had decided to stop all trains because it was a bit windy and a bit rainy so I decided to drive to Edinburgh to a parking ride the sheriff Hall Parking ride be specific it’s managed by Midlothian Council apparently and uh I got there that is a car
Park there’s a building but it was all shuttered up there was no public toilets and and uh there were the a bus stop a very small bus stop quite exposed to the elements cuz it was raining quite heavily uh with people gathered in there and getting no shelter cuz the rain was
Just blowing straight in and I hadn’t I don’t I haven’t used the parking ride for a long time and in the bus stop I looked for the bus information there was no bus information uh so I didn’t know which bus to catch which number to catch where the bus would be going
Etc right that was one two tweet Bank rail station in the Scottish borders the only rail station in the Scottish borders it was opened a few years ago to great Fan Fair it’s thousand thousand uh spaces approximately roughly could be a bit more could be a bit less I don’t
Know but it’s about a thousand and they have two electric charge points in the whole car park now when it first opened there was a little carbon which was like a toilet for for one person to use at a time and it was disabled friendly uh since
Co it’s closed and it’s never opened there is another cabin next to it which is a little shop I’m not unsure of who runs it but I’ve been told that Scottish borders Council own the car park and manage it Scott ra have nothing to do with it Scot will have a huge building
There to house I suppose drivers maintenance uh and all the other jobs are associated with running a a railway but anyhow anyhow I’ve been on Twitter tweeting uh midlo Council Scott rail Scottish borders Council John Lamont who’s the borders MSP richel Hamilton uh MSP for the Scottish SC Scottish
Parliament John lont the MP for for the UK Parliament and Scott ra said no one can give me an answer why there’s no public toilets midlo and Council have given me no answer why there’s no public toilets at the parking ride the moment as far when I’m out and
About I can see there lots and lots and lots of work going on with uh the phone the phone people uh at Outreach is it Outreach BT Outreach or whatever it is I can’t remember the name all these fans want to get fiber phone lines everywhere for the internet in
Edinburgh in York place there park in the middle of York or York square just off Princess Street a park with social distancing signs they’ve been up there for months on bins on Prince Street there signs for H there’s pling Clos police officers in the area CCTV cameras everywhere there’s
Also as everyone can tell Net Zero is a in all governments Scottish government UK government at zero zero carbon emissions uh low emission zones all this works going on for that there’s also the 20 minute cities planning for 20 minute cities to live in a certain neighborhood do
Everything you need in a certain neighborhood a lot of Money’s been spent in all this signage and CCTV and phone internet connection 5G Net Zero but you can’t have a piss of you can’t have a piss or a at a parking ride or a real
Station how many public toilets are in Edinburgh how many were the 20 years ago how many are there now so I think this is related to Net Zero and agenda 2030 CU they don’t really want people to be traveling around listen if you’re going to be want to
Encourage people to cycle more and to walk more and to get into into you know get around in their own steam so to speak right which is a good thing walking cycling running okay now if this is what they want you to encourage and I believe this is what
They they’re saying they want to encourage so to speak however because well the caveat is because they want St people using a car and get rid of their cars right now here’s the here’s the nudge when it is a nudge if you’re going to encourage more people to cycle or to
Walk because of the physiological activity of walking and cycling is any cyclist will know and any people who’s a Brisk Walker or a jogger knows it Jiggles up the system and there’s more need for the toilet so cyclist out and about in a cold Winters day will likely need a toilet there are
Awful lot of cyclists out there if they want everyone to cycle or or everyone to walk they will need people they will need the public toilets to care for these people but they’re not planning to build public to they’re not making any more public toilets now here’s the nudge in the climate
Change committee document published by the House of Lords back in October 22 or 21 one or the other it was all about uh how the co lockdowns Etc have been very successful and there’s lessons to be learned this is before the inquiry before the inquiry to find out
Whether the co lockdowns were good or bad but in this document the climate change committee document which I reviewed in UK column news F ago they basically said we can learn from the lessons from the covid lockdowns to apply to climate change and Net Zero and getting stopping people driving right
To manipulate people to stop stop them using their car for example to make them to make them cycle or walk however as there a death of public toilets out and about people will be less inclined to go out and about people will be weary of being out and about and being C caught
Short it is a base human activity to go for a piss or a or need the toilet or need to use the botom for any sort of reason now the ners in charge of these new policies agenda 20 2030 Net Zero Etc and the the use of Applied psychology which they’re which they’re
Using in conjunction with these policies they will know fine well if the environment out and about where people are supposedly meant to be going via foot or by wheels of some kind non nonar so speak they will know it will discourage people to go out and about it’s a base physiological human
Activity and if there’s barriers put up for people uh for people to to go out I mean think of a disabled person who wants to get the bus to a rail station to get the train into the city well they get they get the bus to the train station but there’s no public
Toilets and have to wait an hour for the train what happens if they’re desperate for the toilet you know they could soil themselves what about young family driving to a park and ride they’ve got little children there’s no baby changing facilities the baby’s screaming it doesn’t make things
Comfortable what if someone wants to uh commute to work walk walk or cycle but it’s pissing the rain they’ve got a dodgy stomach they need a public toilet there’s nothing there they’re not creating essentially my point is they’re not creating an environment conducive to freedom of movement they’re targeting in a psychological fashion
Aspects of human activity that need to be uh they need facilities there if you’re wanting to encourage it you don’t set up a train station we no public toilets I mean any town planner worthy salt I’m sure would say right you got to have a train station you got have a car park
You got to need public toilets here right you’re want to people encourage people to cycle within this Zone in Edinburgh or Glasgow or Aberdine they’ got you got have we can do computer modeling cycling’s got to go up 15% walking’s got to go up 20% it looks like we might need more
Public conveniences here but no but no so what I’m encouraging people is this is just a a heralding cry so to speak go around your town your city your village see how many public toilets are barded there see how many public toilets uh are open or
Not ask your local Council where are the public toilets I was at Fair in in a town near here not long ago and I took some children there family and I need the toilet look the toilet in for the fair down was was shut so was they disabled there was families there with
Kids there was elderly people there with their grandchildren there was nowhere to go for a piss or a nowhere nowhere at all this event Fair we been planned for months in advance the county count the town County Council Scottish borders council did not plan that you know this
Huge influx of people local people and tourists to to the area would have would have needed a public toilet so on a Facebook group which was to deal with this town and the public toilet situation well not the toil public toilet but for the for the just for the for the area
Asked I made a comment that it was disgraceful there was no public toilets no public facilities available my comment was deleted and I was banned from the group that’s a curious response isn’t it it’s a curious response for a simple thing say don’t you think there should have been some public toilets
There and my questions I questioned aelor Arthur Scott I think his name is in Edinburgh colington I think he’s a area where he’s a counselor labor he probably wears the agenda 2030 badge he’s got a YouTube channel I asked him on Twitter uh about the public toilet situation and all he’s responded once
And he’s never responded to any other tweets that messages I’ve sent him he’s basically said that they’re committed to funding for public toilets I said well can you can you expand in that clarify what do you mean committed to funding you are funding you want to fund how much
Funding how many more toilets nothing I just ask them for some details where I can find the information no response it’s like they don’t want to go down this road now all these things going in the world there’s Ukraine there’s there’s Israel there’s Palestine Russia H there’s all these huge
Geopolitical issues huge and everyone’s getting a tizzy about all these things but the basest the base the base activity of going for the toilet I think it’s a very important one it’s a rock and he pull pull that Little Rock up and what will he find CU I think you’ll find an
Unwillingness an unwillingness because they know fine well they don’t want people to be going out and about really all this phone phone wiring being put up everywh in a desp since for four years 5G towers and new wiring and new internet they say they want Net Zero where’s all
The charge points as I said in Tweed Bank rail station th000 cars two charge points doesn’t look like they’re planning for electric cars then the all on about health and safety as well that there’s a little shop at the twed bank I think it’s run by Scottish borders Council or owned by
Them I don’t know but there’s a guy who works there I went I I asked him I said where’s the have you got a key for the toilet the little cabin it’s constantly locked now no so this guy who works in this little cabin and sells teas and coffees and
Sandwiches minced pies whatever where does he go for the toilet or or the stuff where did they go for the you’d think part of working conditions would be you would need a toilet the phrase that comes to mind is for qu no knickers all this talk about agenda 20
Uh Net Zero and let’s go walk more walking more cycling Health to me it’s a it’s it’s a mystery the disappear of all these public toilets but it has a it has a a subtle un real effect on people’s movement and behavior people will start unconsciously
Dreading to go out ex well if they go out and walk anywhere or cycle anywhere you know they get caught short what all happens well you get cut short people will be soiling themselves it’s really not on and I think this is this point of one’s where
One lives town city Village Etc to start asking questions about all this Money’s been spent on all this CCTV cycle Lanes mobile phone 5G where’s the public conveniences for people where are they just to freshen up before they’re going into their work maybe maybe the work doesn’t have
Any sort of place where they can freshen up or they can change they’ve not planned it because they don’t want to plan for it I think and they know it’ll have a negative psychological impact on people and and people will be less uh inclined but they’re consciously or
Unconsciously to go out and about walking or cycling generally speaking as well because when you’re out shopping in towns and towns or in cities you want to you want to know there’s a public toilet you can go to if you need one especially for people who who are elderly or who
Have any sort of disability or frail or children with baby changing facilities this to not plan for all this means they not wanting really people to be going out and about and the fact that the politicians the council are not coming forth with an answer as why there is not these
Facilities available it’s a red flag this is just a hypothesis it’s just a the of H so I encourage you to ask your local Council your MSP MP Etc who’s the bugs where’s the toilets you know you can leave all the parica with geopolitical events to to to to watch other
People the old the good old the good old public toilet maybe that’s what it’s at for

Human waste is bigotry and climate emergence. So is passing gas. Just hold it in. 😵💫
As a Dad of twins, we made travel plans based on when the babies would need a change table/ bathroom break for the parents. Likewise at feeding times. Now, as an older man with poor health, I need to be close to a washroom.
This development is all about the 15-minute gulag. It’s also sleazy and dishonest on a national, regional, and local governments/ council level.
Yes this is coming for us all, from so many directions in so many western country's all at once.
Here in NZ there are huts in the bush allover the place many are just built by people. As far as the govt is concerned these are illegal, of course they've always been illegal but no one cared until now. They have now had signs placed on them ( If they know where they are ) in one part of the country saying their going to be pulled down. On the face of it "so what" But these huts are used by people accessing the great outdoors. Hunters, Trampers. What did Schwab say "Nature is for nature" not only do they want us trapped in city's with no shitters….. they dont want us even being able go into nature, especially not to hunt and feed ourselves and others.
What I fear the most is there's not enough of us who understand what's really going down here and are prepared to just say no, because these clowns are not stopping ever.
Tells you how much they despise us this toilet thing, how petty can you get.
@temorayuille
I notice that the local ones are often shut, and local pubs/restaurants have notices saying their toilets are locked and for customers only, with some adding, "Please Don't Ask!". This is in a tourist hotspot.
We are the carbon they want to eliminate.
A similar experience at Oxford park and ride. No information on how to use the car park meters, people were asking us and we were asking everyone else what we were supposed to do. No info on which buses went where, where they went from. When we finally got our ticket to park we had no idea if we’d jumped through all the hoops.
Similar In Bournemouth recently where google maps told us that all the public toilets around the centre were closed. Out of desperation we went into a Pret cafe, the toilets were for customers only, we had to be let through to them by a customer who had some kind of code to enter.
Also buses, the local bus service requires an app which is useless. We stand and watch the app telling us that the bus we want is a few minutes late, then it becomes ten minutes late, then 15 min late, then disappears completely from the app and we wait for the following bus. If this had happened once it would be an anomaly but I’ve seen it happen many times now and I only use the bus once a week.
Our local train station used to go direct to London, a 50 min journey. Now we have no option but to change trains at a station 10 mins along the line. The window is 7 mins for the connecting train. Our first train was 12 mins late so the connection was missed. We then had 32 mins to wait, no toilets on the platform. The next train was so busy we stood up, 3 of us including my 82 year old mum all the way to London. Journey time was nearly 2 hours. It was a similar story on our return journey.
It’s all so obviously connected to the various agendas. Once you know what they are you see the signs all the time. It seems that everything is connected. Every time I venture out I see something new put in place or removed from service to make life difficult or slow everything down.
And the amount of roadworks, roads closed and temporary traffic lights everywhere but never are the terrible road surfaces and potholes fixed. Last time I was having a tyre replaced there were 2 other vehicles in the bays both with damage from potholes.
In my nearest big town a roundabout was being developed, it took more than 2 years with varying diversions, parts of the roundabout in use and others not, some exits open and others closed and these would change each time I used it. Random night closures of the entire roundabout and approaches. The work seems to be finished now and guess what – they’ve built a roundabout which is doing the exact same job only more complicated than before. Subways and crossings removed, walking and cycle lanes installed which no one uses or understands, traffic lights all the way around and on all approaches which slow the traffic down and cause frustration. All the established trees on the roundabout chopped down. The place is decorated with signs alluding to net zero and everything else.

Openreach / reich rolling out fibre broadband …
Some amount of waffling. No public toilet at an obscure park and train station and you think its a global conspiracy 😂 You need to get out more mate. Put the internet down for a bit.
There are other, potentially darker, aspects to this: there may be far fewer people to be out-and-about in the not-too-distant future.
The Transhumanist treatment of the human digestive system and certain procedures, a "dialysis of the virtuous" in conjunction with plant-based diets rather than conventional pissing and shitting.
It wouldn’t stop me from going out and about, and it doesn’t seem to stop people in countries I’ve visited where there are no public toilets, but you have to watch where you put your feet. Is that really what we want to happen here? I noticed that a lot of public toilets were closed in 2020, and many didn’t re-open. The situation seems to be worse in the east of Scotland. Or maybe because I live in the west, I know where the conveniences are. Last year I went to Aberfeldy with a friend. We’d booked a hotel, but we arrived at 8.30 am, as we were going to do a hillwalk first. We needed to go to the loo, but the public toilets had closed down. Someone told us there was an alternative one, but that was closed too. We walked around for about 20 mins asking people, and eventually gave up and found a place in the bushes just outside the town. Is really what people living in these towns want?
In South Ayrshire the council have introduced card-only public toilets (no cash allowed). No more “spending a penny”.
