NYPD announces that zero arrests were made at the massive No Kings protests today after Republicans spent days claiming the protestors are violent terrorists.
The BBC should gloss over this one pretty quickly......... again!

Andrew Bailey, "For the foreseeable future, the impact of Brexit on economic growth in the UK is negative"

"Making an economy less open, restricts growth"
Just listened to a past head of AV supporters compare these fans to Celtic fans who visited last year! This indicates a huge problem in that area when they cannot forget the 70s and distinguish the difference.

BREAKING: Glasgow is set to launch Scotland's first drug checking service.

The Home Office has approved the project, which will see people able to get drugs tested and then 'given harm-reduction advice' with their results.

Really privileged to meet Sid Khan today - a remarkable Scot who joined the Global Sumud Flotilla in solidarity with the people of Palestine.

His compassion and courage in standing up for peace and justice speak to who we are as a nation. 🇵🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
This guy even looks like someone from a bad horror movie.

FIFA is too cowardly to kick the occupation state from all competitions so countries are making sure they don’t advance by trashing them. Norway won their match today 5-0 and Norway’s soccer federation says it will donate all profits from this World Cup qualifying game to aid work in Gaza.

Interesting. It is not clarified if the proposed morning show with Geissler and MacIver would replace Adams or GMS. If it replaced Adams, then fine. That show badly needs to go. Stephen Jardine is fine, but Adams has been toiling for years and relies too heavily on anti-Scot Govt stuff.
I am a subscriber though. :(
For some time now I have found that comments in The National seem to be disabled. Is this right, or am I the only one seeing this?
