Trafalgar Square, London, 1938. Banner reads "Irish Republicans greet Spanish Republicans. Smash all imperialisms"
I don't know the date or the source.

If you already had independence, there’s not a thing in the world would tempt you to give it up and surrender the rights to your own land and waters..and pay taxes to another country for that privilege.

Independence is NORMAL everywhere apart from here

I was born 24 years after the end of the second world war. And it is now 25 years after the millenium. 😐

Suzy Quattro was my very first childhood crush.

Elon Musk's $1tn pay deal approved by Tesla shareholders The richest man in the world will get hundreds of millions of new shares if he hits his targets.

Imagine being a Tesla shareholder and thinking this was okay.

I think we should all be playing a part in ensuring fascist fan-boy Musk does not reach his target.

Cashew nuts, of course, are famous for their poor Bluetooth capabilities. I'm surprised he was convinced by anyone to go the cashew route for hi-fidelity earphones.

This isn't the question that should be asked.
Why is noone asking why she wants to remove £20bn from the UK economy?
Why is noone asking why she thinks that the current tax rates won't return the £20bn in time?
Why is noone asking why she thinks government spending needs to balance with tax returns?

In the local taverna. Question is, should I have what I was planning for tea? Or, pizza out the take-away?

...but the writing! Christ on a velocipede, every street that is mentioned, every building, every concept, seems to have a copy and paste from Wikipedia attached.

I am a fan of Dan Brown books. But fucking hell, the Secret of Secrets - is utter shite. How the fuck did an editor allow any of this to 'get through'? It isn't just lack of plot, or that the hero, Robert Langdon, isn't dominating the story line /...

The funniest th9ng about those cover is that it demonstrates that Americans think that socialism is the same as communism, and that capitalism is the same as democracy.

Why is land reform on the agenda in Scotland? MSPs are set to vote on legislation which could allow the government to intervene in private land sales.

Oh my God. Is this not being televised?
