Ironically, the far right will be the first to complain about the new wave of refugees this war will cause. They're not a very bright lot.

He's so indecisive and unprincipled. It's remarkable. I mean, we've seen worst PMs in the last few years, but none as indecisive as this one. He's trying to please both sides, on every issue, and always ends up just pissing off both.

I don't want a "special relationship" with a rogue nation who thinks that it can threaten, bomb, invade & kidnap at its leisure, to acquire oil & other resources, for itself. pretends that this is about Iranian civilians, while he's attacking the civil rights of his own people & killing protestors.

I would have, until he gave them access to UK's bases. Once again, he's trying to have it both ways. And ultimately he'll impress neither camp, either those for involvement, or those against it.

Shouldn't have allowed them to use UK bases. For once he was on the verge of doing the right thing. But like everything else since the election, he wants to have his foot on both sides of the fence. He's not the worst PM we've had in modern times, but the most cowardly, and unprincipled.

I would have agreed until he rolled over and allowed them to use UK bases.

I had to say goodbye to my eldest cat earlier today. She was almost 16 years old. It wasn't completely out of the blue, as she'd been ill the last couple of weeks. But it still hurts to lose a such a good companion. I'm already missing her lots. πŸ’”

Yeah. They're not too dissimilar with union support, with the other pollsters, but seem to undercount support for independence, compared to the rest.

It's interesting tnat even the friendliest pollster's, for the union, is struggling to find 45% for the union, these days. Quite the drop from 2014.

Well put. Flirting with the right and sacrificing the left, and the progressive policies in their own party, is catching up with them.

There's two different potential crimes he's committed, not just the sex trafficking stuff, but sharing confidential government information with Epstein.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office It comes after Thames Valley Police said they were assessing a complaint over the alleged sharing of confidential material by the former prince with Jeffrey Epstein.

BREAKING: Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (formerly Prince Andrew) has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

He is accused of sharing confidential government documents with Jeffrey Epstein.

Unprecedented.

Side note: it is Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s birthday today.

Thus, from the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.

Happy Darwin Day, everyone! Here's a beautiful quote by the birthday boy himself.

'Endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.' Charles Darwin, 'On the Origin of Species'.

Perhaps some of the most important words ever written! #DarwinDay

Yup, Germ theory of disease. Cell theory. Atomic theory. Theory of General Relativity. Plate tectonics (theory). Heliocentric theory. The list is extensive.

Last year, Elon Musk said Jeffrey Epstein tried to get him to go to his island but he "REFUSED."

New emails show Elon Musk actively asking Epstein "what day/night will be the wildest party on =our island?"

And the next year, Musk asked again if there was a "good time to visit."

it's a country within the United Kingdom. The UK is a union between four members. Getting back to the original point. Britain's a landmass.
I'm not British. I'm Scottish. Scotland is my only country. I am a UK citizen, which is something I can't wait to lose, upon indy.

Unless you want independence from the UK, right? Then we're anti-English?

And again, this is why the re-independence of Scotland is a must. Unionists like yourself, can't help but reduce the status of Scotland, to suit your agenda, even when it works against your agenda. Insulting Scotland, trying taking away its status as a country in its own right, only hurts your cause

've already explained to you, Scotland and England (and Wales) are countries that share a union.
Scotland is not your country, and England isn't mine.
BundeslΓ€nder. is a state within Germany. Scotland is not within England. Scotland is a seperate country to England. BundeslΓ€nder. isn't a country

And nor is it used in other ways like "Iberian culture, Iberian sports, Iberian media. if Britain was only used as a geographical term, few people would take issue with it. Like I said previously, it's used by unionists to insert politics into a geographical point.

The Spanish and Portugese don't identify as Iberians. That's the point. They identify as Spanish, or a specific part of Spain, like Catalan or Andalusian. like a Scottish person identifying as a Scot, or a Highlander.

26.01.2026 20:27 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

It's technically incorrect. America's two continents. Several countries share each.
Point being, "British" is often used incorrectly, so I repudiate it, and don't associate with it. The Spanish and Portugese live on the Iberian Peninsula, but don't call themselves Iberians.
My country is Scotland.
