5 childhood defining moments

Biafra Famine
Moon Landing
The Troubles
'78 World Cup
Thatcherism

bleary @bleary.off-the-records.com · 2d

5 childhood defining events (Irish edition)

* The unemployment crisis of 1984/85
* Moving statues in Ballinspittle
* Euro '88
* Condoms on sale in the Virgin Megastore
* Zig & Zag joining Dempsey's Den

Tom Ewing @tomewing.bsky.social · 2d

5 childhood defining events

- Thatcherism/privatisation (direct effect on my family)*
- British home computer boom
- HIV/AIDS epidemic
- Ethiopian famine/Band Aid
- Fall Of The Berlin Wall**

*Falklands War/Miners Strike are downstream from "Thatcher in general" I guess

#5debutalbums8084 Altered Images - Happy Birthday (1981) The tweely distinctive vocal style of Claire Grogan works beautifully over the band's sparse post punk. Steve Severin produced a surprisingly moody album that has really stood the test of time. I'm thoroughly enjoying this run out. 🎂 #MusicSky

No use having a bold vision for an Independent Scotland if you are relying on UK govt to authorise a s30, in order to have a Referendum on Scottish Self Determination.
England wanted a vote on EU m/ship within UK, no one else, not even The Tory MPs. (186 - 141)
If it's good for the goose so to say.

Bob McAllister @bobbyscocks.bsky.social · 2d

Are the ppl of Scotland "Sovereign" or are we a subject of England.

Bob McAllister @bobbyscocks.bsky.social · 2d

Outwith Scotland though.
The original Q was, why is SNP pushing both votes SNP & why not endorse Independence parties like Unionist parties endorse each other in Scotland.
Don't think I'd get a satisfactory answer from SNP tbh.

Bob McAllister @bobbyscocks.bsky.social · 2d

Misses the point of the Q.
Wales & England are not Scotland & in both neither labour nor Tories endorse each other in favour of Greens or PC. This only happens in Scotland, where both have endorsed the other to stop SNP gaining seats.
So why doesn't SNP do likewise ?

Not in my Year (1987 &1985), both great records though.
