Grumpy but hopeful. Scottish. New Town boy but island dweller. Photography, boats, photos of boats. Often wrong. Some bad words. I don’t agree with everyone I follow.
That huge dump of fly-tipped rubbish is a disgrace. How on Earth did it get that big without anyone taking action? The Environment Agency have known about it for months.

I’m fed up with a few boneheads spoiling things for the decent majority. What does this tell our children?

I’m a healthy weight and don’t drink a lot of fizzy soft drinks. I really dislike the flavour of sweeteners other than sugar. All that the #sugartax has done is curb the range of drinks I’ll buy because manufacturers have towed the government line and replaced sugar with horrible alternatives.

It’s depressing how quickly the war in Gaza has dropped off the news cycle.

This, from the Guardian, is Ryanair at its very worst.

It's not good enough for them to insist that they're a low-cost airline and everyone knows the rules, in circumstances like this...

I wonder if legislation is needed?

The BBC Scotland commentary for Kenny McLean’s halfway line goal is glorious. Stuff of dreams. 🔥

Congratulations #Scotland, see you at the World Cup.

Mariella Frostrup is a top guest to have on QT. #bbcqt

I can't be bothered with the Royal Family sycophancy. #bbcqt

Mariella Frostrup makes a very good point. Folks didn't want to leave their own countries until we got involved in wars with them and exploiting their resources. The UK, along with others in the EU, and the USA, created a huge amount of this problem. #bbcqt

Jess Phillips seems a decent sort to me. I reckon she’s doing her best to navigate this grooming gang enquiry and I wouldn’t want to be in her shoes. Resigning won’t make anything better, but she’d probably enjoy some other work more. #poisonedchalice

This seems harsh (especially in light with what the privatised water companies get away with). 🤷🏼‍♂️

Unbelievable that BBC Scotland can’t get Head of the organisation, Hayley Valentine, to appear on #ReportingScotland to respond to their own, important, survey.

Question: When will the BBC, ITV, etc get access to Gaza now that a ceasefire has been declared? Why is Israel still controlling access? #c4news
October 15, 2025 at 7:27 AM
Israel withholds aid to Gaza because the bodies of some hostages haven’t yet been returned. Abhorrent. I’ll bet they’re under tons of rubble, caused by Israeli bombing.
October 14, 2025 at 5:40 PM
Why can’t the BBC get into Gaza now? Surely Israel doesn’t control Palestine any more? #BBCNews
October 14, 2025 at 5:04 PM
I feel sorry for the Israeli families that haven’t had the bodies of their loved ones back. I’m also certain that many of them lie under the rubble of Palestinian buildings which were completely destroyed by Israel. Have you seen the state of the place? #c4news
October 13, 2025 at 6:14 PM
Trump may have made this happen. Maybe only he could. But it’s been clear for a while that global opinion has been turning against Israel for a while now. #c4news
