Given up on mine entirely. It’s 70% show tunes and 20% video game music at this point

Oh, very well. 😆

My hair (what remains of it) is clipped to my scalp, so hard to screw up. But seriously, accidentally shaving off an entire eyebrow without realising what you’re doing?

This is not a Fess. A Fess should be funny and shameful. This is deadly serious and there is no shame attached whatsoever.

There’s no way this can possibly be true. No matter how powerful your clippers, you’re not going to take an entire eyebrow off by accident without realising.

I can’t bring myself to believe they will ever be released in full. There will be more excuses, or a heavily redacted version, or an ‘investigation’ to prevent publication. Because these people are never brought to book. That happens to other, less privileged, people.

Starmer’s Labour enables fascism When the race baiting far right criminal Stephen Yaxley-Lennon and the hard right Reform UK are praising Labour’s policies, you know that something has gone profoundly wrong in a party which …

My latest blog piece, about Shabana Mahmood pandering to the basest instincts of the far right and why it's doomed to failure

Amazing, this, isn’t it? Importing policies from Scandinavia is great, as long as they are nasty/repressive and not enlightened/progressive?

Sorry, but what does her budget have to do with rebuilding trust at Holyrood? The budget will affect the size of ScotGov’s budget, but what does that have to do with trust?

So we’re not just going to be horrible to these unfortunate people, now we’re going to rob them as well?

Every time I think the UK government can’t sink any lower, it turns out to be a false bottom.

Had exactly this experience with two much younger members of staff relating to Father Ted. Never felt so old!

As a lifelong supporter of Scottish independence, I detest the BBC’s naked editorial bias on this subject (which they don’t even try to hide) and think it should be held accountable. But not because they did something the orange windbag didn’t like.

So very, deeply tired of people trying to establish a false narrative that the SNP have a ‘record of failure’. The bottom line is that the voters disagree.

They are all peeing themselves about Farage and frantically trying to be seen to be tough on immigration. We’re better than this.

UK set to limit refugees to temporary stays Shabana Mahmood is expected to say the era of permanent protection for refugees is over, in major changes to the UK's asylum and immigration system.

I came to this country as a child refugee. No English, no certainty, no idea what my life could become. Britain gave me refuge.

Not on a timer, not with conditions attached, but with a chance to grow roots.

No, you absolute midden. Changing the words that came out of your mouth is exactly what they didn’t do. They put actual words that did come out of your mouth next to other actual words that came out of your mouth 50 minutes later.

Jesus surfboarding Christ. Does he actually not comprehend what an ‘insurance based system’ means?
The crashing irony is that he is actually describing a socialised healthcare system, and he’s too pig-ignorant to realise it.

Well that’s great and all, but she saw everything he said and did in his first term, and then went out and voted for him twice more. So she can’t really claim this all came as a surprise.

It’s far from the only time the Scottish Government has implemented a popular and progressive policy (and, in this case, inexpensive) and has been ridiculed for it.

The baby boxes - though very popular wherever they have been commissioned - were slated in Scotland by every other party and in the media, and made out to be a publicity stunt. This is what passes for normal in Scottish politics, where the rule is SNPbad.

Well, the answer that leaps to mind is that it’s an SNP initiative, and Labour famously (and childishly) refuse to support anything the SNP do, even if it was their idea in the first place.

It’s pathetic. The SNP should 100% be on the warpath here, saying that the presence of the UK’s nuclear weapons on Scottish soil is a clear and present threat to Scotland’s national security.

It was exactly the same about Scotland in 2014. Loads of people and companies claiming they would leave after a Yes vote. To which the only answer is ‘so what?’ If you only wanted to be there if you could have everything your way, Scotland’s better off without you.

Righteous anger is not a sin. It is the pulse of justice beneath your ribs, the spark that refuses to die when the world tells you to be silent, polite, patient. It is holy fire, dangerous only to those who built their empires on the backs of the broken and the hungry.

He’ll still be living a life of luxury and privilege. So not really, no.

Was discussing with the wife today. 500 years ago he’d have been executed, exiled, or married off to someone in the arse end of Europe to get rid of him. They’re going for a modern version of exile, but it’s not enough.

Just like everything else relating to this loathsome man and his fascistic party, this is based on lies.

I don’t think it’s you

Not these days, but in my teens and twenties, very much yes. Still have a lot of them.

You have to be Labour, and have signed up to the idea that all SNP policies are bad, just because they came from the SNP. It is all about jealousy and hate.
