This sounds great. For descendents of Scots like me, or anyone living in Scotland or just Scotland-interested, this will be another piece of a fascinating jigsaw. #Scotland

He's relevant to racists, the undereducated and the BBC though.

Nicholas Rossi: US fugitive who fled to Scotland goes on trial for rape Nicholas Rossi, who faked his own death in 2020, is accused of raping a woman he dated in 2008 in Utah County.

Funny how some US criminals who commit rape, attempt to defeat the ends of justice and then turn up in Scotland get prosecuted, whilst others get chauffeured about, introduced to top Government figures and protected by expensive security operations, innit? #FuckTrump

Hard to know whether to remind people of his lies and manipulation of the facts or ignore him and starve him of publicity.

If you donโ€™t want history to be re-written please share this video widely - because the only way to stop that happening is to constantly call this boll**** out with the actual facts

Doubt if Trump has any idea what he's saying. Putin will run rings round him.

And parties like Labour should just stop trying to outwit these Reform lunatics.
Come up with decent policies and leave the racism to these nutters.
Their vileness warrants no response. Racist loonies that want to vote for them will do anyway.

Ask yourself, who are the puppet masters pulling the strings. Gone are the days when reporters wrote the truth most of the time. Self-regulation doesn't work, Ofcom is toothless, and Farage is rampant without a care in the world except self-interest.

The people who brought you Brexit on a promise of โ€˜controlโ€™ now threaten civil unrest and frothing racism as govt policyโ€ฆ
For love of god can we just stop listening to anything they have to say. They represent nothing but inadequacy and failure. Surely our country can do better than this.

"This is the worst I have seen in my near 25 years of humanitarian work."

Edem Wosornu, from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, tells @krishgm.bsky.social that "the world's attention needs to be on Sudan".

Okay so Trump wants all juveniles off the street at 8 pm in DC in that zone and off the street across the entire city by 11?

Trump is insane.

We have the same problem over here in the UK with the Reform cult. Farage is a mini version of Trump. His followers swallow every word, despite the real facts staring them in the face.
