I am a bit rusty from my younger days attending, but Jesus Christ was a bloody socialist. The only thing unchristian is to hold contempt for the poor and those in need.

Another fantastic piece. Scotland needs an equivalent to Northern Ireland - a legal and democratic route to constitutional change.

Somewhat related, my graphic design advice is that unless the image is a key point of your presentation, like it’s actually something you need to show people to get the point of your slide across, then don’t use one. Slides need to be functional, not overcrowded and “cute”.
I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

Some result for Martin O’Neil to bow out on if that is his last game. I really think Celtic should give him the league cup final tho. It’s only 2 or so weeks away and might buy some much needed goodwill from their fans
