It started as a walk into 500 years of Peterhead gossip and events. Smugglers, heroes, poets, ghosts, war, witchcraft, murder, rebellion and piracy. Then it got a bit political...
It might cost two cents to make one, but how many times will each cent be used? More than twice and it's paid for itself. Each coin lasts many years.

I hope this is the start of attitude change. But I'm not going to hold my breath.

Removing the benefit cap is welcome and well overdue, as is recognition that the children are not responsibility for their family situation. But that recognition needs to expand to cover disabled people, who she has been merrily demonizing since she took office. 3/

It's good that she is finally waking up to the harm and poverty caused by the two child cap. But we need a wider strategy to meet the needs of ALL struggling young people. Investment in social care and in youth clubs. Address the root cause of children unable to attend school. 2/

Should they be penalised because they are disabled? Unable to cope in school because they are autistic and can't get necessary accommodations because the local authority is skint? Or because they have struggled mentally and can't get help because they are stuck on a 3 year waiting list for CAMHS? 1/

Is he volunteering to be the next MAGA Martyr, after the late unlamented Charlie Kirk?

The Pope could excommunicate Vance and any other Cosplay Catholics in Trump's monkey troup. And for ICE agents.

Anyone who thinks the Labour UK government is doing okay hates disabled people. And pensioners. And children from low income families. And anyone struggling to pay their power bill. And foreign born people,(especially brown ones). The scapegoating is awful.

A recent survey showed how much trust in the BBC's ability to report impartially has been eroded. They have become a right-wing mouthpiece. Time for change.

They have only five MP's but they get massively disproportionate coverage compared to other opposition parties with many more MP's. They also get an easy ride because the BBC never seem to ask them the hard questions. These BBC leaders were tory party appointees. 3/

If you believe the BBC, the Scottish NHS is the worst in the UK. It's actually outperforming the rest of the country. On Gaza, their pro-Israel bias has been awful, and they have been shamelessly platforming Reform UK (a minority limited company pretending to be a political party). 2/

They didn't resign for nothing. The BBC's "impartiality" has been seriously in question for years. Their coverage of anything to do with the Scottish Government has been disgraceful. They even admitted publishing a Tory party press release verbatim, when it was actually fiction. 1/

Could cause chaos in Aberdeenshire if delicate people from further south found themselves trying to decipher directions in Doric. Good luck finding Aberchirder when Sat Nav sends you to Foggie instead. (Spoiler: they are the same village).

Enjoy! But do please try to avoid getting killed in spectacular fashion.

The Walton family HOARD $469 Billion. Bezos HOARDS $230 Billion. They aren't worth that. Irredeemably greedy people like that aren't worth anything.

America needs a lot less Cosplay Christians and a lot more loving the neighbours, feeding the hungry, healing the sick, forgiveness, and a lot less hate, selfishness and judgement.

It's what Jesus (the brown Palestinian, not the white imitation) would have wanted. He even had it set out in a book.

Just because we "haven't seen it before" doesn't mean it wasn't happening. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
