This morning I have written to the Cabinet Secretary for Justice @angelaconstance.bsky.social MSP to register our concern over plans by the Home Secretary to provide new protest policing powers to police forces in England and Wales and to ascertain if the CabSec intends to mirror this in Scots law.

Hardly surprising when Farage’s colleagues from UKIP used to blame traffic jams on immigrants and freak weather phenomena on ‘Gods wrath’ due to acceptance of LGBT+ people.

The Hope Of Independence – Ten Years On I write a lot about how I see hope. I have poems about how hope doesn’t feel positive to me – I know its effect is positive, but it’s not a nice feeling. It hurts. In movies, when hope sparks…

Eleven years on from the referendum, and that girl in the picture breaks my heart. What a world we could have had.

Good morning world.

What are you all upto today?

He was the first Dr I truly remember watching.

He was in the seminary with my secondary school priest. He left as he wanted to try acting.

It really worked out for him.

This is ridiculous in the extreme. The fact the Tangerine Tyrant is over here (despite most of us being in opposition to it and only 16% of Brits having a positive view of Trump) and the police are doing everything they can to remove any visible opposition is pathetic.

Thousands of opioid deaths missed off official figures The error - affecting England and Wales - raises concerns about the impact on the government's approach to drug deaths.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
More than 13,000 heroin and opioid deaths have been missed off official statistics in England and Wales, raising concerns about the impact on the government's approach to tackling addiction.

It certainly would be interesting seeing how they would spin it.

They’d be anxious about how many serving officers would be flagged as attendees.

He is a legend and really nice man.

More of this, Israel needs to feel the full consequences of its genocidal rampage

She actually thinks the Nazis supported trans people. I suppose being thicker than a Burns Night turd is an advantage when you're as much of a raging bigot as she is.

Florence Pugh speaks up at the "Together for Palestine" fundraiser:

"Silence in the face of such suffering is not neutrality, it is complicity. Pressure on the governments."
