Someone made a big mistake with that hash up of Trump. Nothing like as much a hash up as Trump does himself of course.

From north of the Border, it’s amusing to read the commentariat worrying about alleged BBC bias. They haven’t ever worried about the much more extensive bias re Scotland.

The UK is a busted flush.

Decades of chaos, corruption and decline have proved it beyond doubt.

It’s time to abolish Westminster and end the Union.

All nations, including the reunification of the Island of Ireland, deserve the chance to choose their own future.

Why have there been so many mistaken prisoner releases in England and none in Scotland? Twice as many staff per prisoner and only half the level of attacks on them? Visit the post for more.

Been there once. And been couple of times to Orkney. Loved both of them, though they are very different.

Enjoyed some of banter in this episode
Tosh: she’s casting aspersions on our professional integrity
Ruth: of course she is, we’re the police. I wouldnt trust us further than I could throw us.

The government spends Β£2.7 BILLION a year on TAX BREAKS for oil and gas companies

Those companies pay billions to their shareholders

And then lay off their workers

Think that's unfair?

Tell Rachel Reeves to stop propping up oil and gas companies and back workers instead…

"Will You Uphold Your Oath to the Constitution?"
YouTube video by Sen. Elissa Slotkin "Will You Uphold Your Oath to the Constitution?"

17 General Officers have been removed or have retired in nine months. I'm a former CIA officer – if I saw this in a foreign military, we would call that a purge.

Well the Buddhist answer to that is bec of greed , hatred & delusion. To be offset with generosity, unconditional kindness, and wisdom. Wisdom is prob the big challenge!

Are people inherently good? Or bad? Or inherently anything? Or are we not all born and grow up in conditions that shape us? And are we all not a mix, sometimes a puzzling mix? But we have agency, we can make a new start. We’re not alone in wanting to do that. Question is why don’t we?
