loveable by design; geek by choice I'm a big proponent of Scottish Independence. There will be occasional political rants. But mostly I'm just using this account to keep up with friends and family. #YouYesYet? #indyref #indyscot

A photo of me standing next to Joe Hill as he signs my copy of his new novel, King Sorrow. He looks normal, I look like an idiot. I'm smiling weirdly and am, for some reason, waving at the lady who was taking the photo.
Already posted it on Insta, but Mum and I got to meet Joe Hill yesterday at his book signing. Very excited to get stuck into this absolute beast of a book!

Scotland holds 96% of the UKโs crude oil, 90% of its fresh water, most of its gas, fish, and green energy โ yet London still lectures it about โdependenceโ. Whoโs really dependent on whom? Independence isnโt a risk, itโs overdue.

News broke yesterday of a โCategory Aโ radiation leak that occurred earlier this year at Faslane.
Although comprehensively coved by MSM, there has been absolutely no mention of this from the โbbc in Scotlandโ, either on their TV / radio output, or online.
The bbc are still โMis-Reporting Scotlandโ

That many people are still watching the Beeb? WHY?!

Ridiculously weird thing to be a wee bit upset about, because I'm not religious, but there we are. This is the church I used to go to for Christian holidays with my primary school. One of my friends lived literally across the road. Ah well.

I wish they'd done this YONKS ago, but it's better late than never. (Still not going to vote for them, unfortunately, because I'm voting pro-Indy until we're independent.)

No.

Why can't Scotland decide to be like Ireland if it wants to be?

Plaid Cymru MPs listened to disabled people and voted against the welfare bill tonight.
This bill was cruel from the start and remains unfit for purpose.
These measures will hit Welsh communities hardest - yet the vast majority of Welsh Labour MPs nodded them through.
Shame.
Today, I asked the Deputy PM if she would support an independent inquiry into the UK's complicity in Israeli war crimes.
She refused to answer.
Just like Iraq, the government is doing everything it can to shield itself from scrutiny. Just like Iraq, it will not succeed in hiding the truth.
Smoke and mirrors from WM as per usual, smacks of Thatcher's Argentinian conflict as in when things get rough let's have a good old war to bolster the spirits.๐๐คฌ

Lorne, or Square, sausage - sausage meat formed into square slices that are grilled or fried.
New Scots words have been added to the Oxford English Dictionary, including "Lorne, or square, sausage".

Former Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said that a โ50 plus oneโ threshold in a border poll is โenoughโ for reunification - that a majority is a majority. Varadkar is right, so let's not indulge the nonsense peddled by some that Scotland requires 55/65% for Independence.
