Fire fears, accidents and emu attacks among safety concerns at Cold War bunker Volunteers restoring a former Edinburgh nuclear bunker are worried someone will be hurt because of safety issues.

To all those who are aware of the Emu War: I regret to inform you that the enemy appear to be in possession of a nuclear bunker.

Wrote something, just to get it out of my head, about how fundamentally weird it is watching the panicked flailing and pathetic self-soothing defences of the UK Government from a Scottish perspective medium.com/@allanfaulds...

Watch the video as a recklessly driven cheap car careens around and a gang of armed thugs spring out to menace an innocent civilian, like a kidnapping or robbery or murder-for-hire.

A guy I just met at a bar opposite the vigil, who lives right here, made a point that is both insanely obvious and yet also I haven't heard. Alex Pretti wasn't bringing a gun with him to a protest. He was "just a guy buying some fucking donuts" when CBP rocked up and got in *his* way

In case you were still in any doubt, here’s Keir Starmer confirming precisely what he thinks of Scotland, folks who live in Scotland, Scottish culture and Rabbie Burns.

Oddly, Tunnock’s and Barr’s used to be Tory supporters. I wonder what’s changed…

Corrupt kleptocrat’s death squads execute second dissident as military round up clergy and terrorise cities in chaotic lawless petro-state.

"By threatening to set off a bomb in his local McDonald's, Trump was able to persuade them to sell him a Big Mac. This is The Art Of The Deal at its most sophisticated!"

And so the circle of @irhottakes.bsky.social's prophecy is complete

“We’ve invented a magic computer. It uses all of the earth’s resources, we’ve spent trillions on it and it’s the sole growth area of the US economy.”

“What does it do?”

“We were hoping you could tell us.”

Every time the Trump regime uses the words "funded protesters" and "outside agitators" news outlets need to cut to this photo from last week.
