Never giving up on the struggle for Scottish Independence. A single vote does not halt democracy. No Bitcoin. No DM. No Porn - gets a straight mute & block. The same goes for religion of any sort.
To paraphrase Tony Benn....
1. What Power Have You Got
2. Where Did You Get It From
3. In Whose Interests Do You Exercise It
4. To Whom Are You Accountable
5. How Can We Get Rid Of You
If you can't leave the "voluntary union", you don't live in a democratic system!

Johnson spent years charming, bluffing, and backstabbing his way to the top.
Positioning himself as a latter-day Churchill when the moment came and leadership was desperately needed, he showed us who he was...

TWENTY THREE THOUSAND EXTRA DEATHS.
And thats just with the initial pandemic.
But hey, there is zero culpability & exactly fuck all will happen.
That is apart from the current moves to deflect the blame down the line.

Keep seeing party loyalists insisting UK Labour is doing good stuff but the press just aren't reporting it. Well, they're reporting this and Labour can just f*ck off. What a horrible place the UK is becoming.

Looking to book a table for Hogmanay lunch in Edinburgh.
So sick of seeing "Protein Menus" on some restaurant websites!
Turning the simple joy of eating for joys sake into some arbitrary science experiment where every calorie is assessed and tossed aside if in excess.
Oh, & I was a chef!

A striking monument on a Scottish island which remembers the Clearances has been handed one of the most prestigious arts awards in the UK.
The monument on the Isle of Lewis was erected to commemorate 100 years since the resettlement of Galson village after it was cleared in 1863.

Please take the time to be kind to others. It can be a lifeline.
Someone suicidal reached out to me last week because I'd been kind in the past.
You never know what someone is dealing with or how hard it is for them.
I'm asking everyone, please, please be kind.

“Did no one think about the ramifications of those in Northern Ireland being forced to carry a "Brit Card"? What about the Scots, of whom a large proportion would sooner defecate in their hands and clap than be referred to as a “Brit” in any form?”
Were the Scots and the Irish consulted before the Brit Card was named?
DIGITAL ID cards are set to become a legal requirement for all UK adults. And they appear to be called Brit Cards.

On X I used data to show London does not have the highest crime rate in the world.
10 mins later a right winger linked to my book.
10 mins after that I got 40 1-star reviews from unverified accounts (previously 4.9 star avg). Fair play to Amazon - they removed them all.
But that's how it works.
