The Afel Bocoum concert for Celtic Connections at the Rennie MacIntosh Church in Glasgow was brilliant, simply brilliant.

Next year, on this date, it is hoped that we will unveil a statue of Nelson Mandela in Nelson Mandela Place in Glasgow. It will be the first statue of a named black person in Scotland.

Glasgow made Nelson Mandela a Freeman of the city when he was still in prison. Glasgow was the first city in the world to make Nelson Mandela a Freeman.

On this day in 1993, Nelson Mandela was made a Freeman of Glasgow and 8 other cities and local authorities in the UK. This was before he was elected as President of South Africa.

Dear God! Trey Reed and Cory Zukatis were found hanging from a tree in Mississippi.

What are those papers on her desk? Can't be important because she hasn't lost them. Release the @epsteinfilesonline.bsky.social

Just off to one of the Pot Banging for Gaza in Glasgow

Lindiwe Poswa, rest in peace. Hamba Kahle!

A man who doesn't believe in the effectiveness of vaccines is developing an all-purpose vaccine? You couldn't make this up.

Are they afraid that the alligators will learn something from the Cape Buffalo?

I'm shocked. Trump cheating? He would never do that at golf! Oh, wait a minute!

Why are convicted felons allowed to enter the UK, no matter what job they now hold?

Trump is on his way to Scotland so lock up your daughters

Don't allow Trump's Turnberry golf course to host The Open Championship The Open Championship must not give in to the UK government's lobbying and allow Donald Trump to host one of the world's biggest, oldest and respected golf tournaments at any of the golf courses he ow...

Trump’s heading to Scotland this weekend and wants the next Open at his Turnberry course. I just told The R&A: DO NOT give it to him :x: Will you join me too? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

Happy Nelson Mandela International Day. He was born on this day in 1918. We held a 70th birthday concert for him at Wembley Stadium in 1988.

I think it was called the Miners' Club. It was some name like that and next door to the Co-op

"I don't need a warrant" That is what the secret police have always said.

Could this be the reason that @donaldjtrump-maga.bsky.social is refusing to publish the Epstein files? People will think so until the files are published because, if he is innocent, there is no reason not to publish.

Yes, but it could be a worst case scenario deal. And really, it should be negotiated in a period after a referendum vote and before the date of independence, so that the handover can be smooth.

No, it won't rely on fools believing that anything complicated can happen without being negotiated

There is a problem. The Bank of England does not issue licences to independent countries to use sterling and has not done so since the Republic of Ireland joined the Euro. This will have to be negotiated. As will joining the EU. They cannot wave a magic wand to make it happen

Annoying @donaldjtrump-maga.bsky.social is such fun

The point is that none of you can provide an answer, and it would be useful for the pro-independence parties to consider this issue.

What is the currency going to be? The Euro? The pound? The groat? What exactly?

Christians should be internationalist to the marrow of their bones. Remember the parable of the Good Samaritan.
