A stunning piece of music, which I first heard during a @johnsimpsonnews.bsky.social documentary about Saddam Hussein’s Iraq. Eno’s track was played at the end of a segment was shot in a stadium where opponents were murdered as part of mass executions. Powerful images accompanied by powerful music.

Well said Stephen, they are all our kids! 👏👏👏👏
Pal’s son lives in Glasgow with his German fiancée and 2 boys under 5. They are learning both English and German, they know about Mummy’s language & Daddy’s language and when to use them.
The boys will grow up bi-lingual, what’s wrong with that Nigel?

The BBC used up their SPOTY quota of Celts with McIlroy’s inclusion (well deserved nomination btw), they couldn’t possibly have a second!!! 🤬

Streeting needs to read up on previous privatisations eg, rail, water etc.
Nothing that skims off unregulated profits can deliver anywhere near the level of service a public service can!
I’m not saying PS can’t learn from business but taking £ out of a service for shareholders does not benefit us!

Breaking. Liz Truss wins this year's FIFA Prize for Economics.

😂👍
He does come up with some good ones occasionally!
He’s still on the other place for some reason.

I’d be very careful, it could be a sting!

Gotta pay for the Tango Gob💩’s trophy somehow!

Five Mile Garage (Esso) nr Westhill just changed hands. It shut on Tuesday to change over till systems, the price of diesel has jumped 3p/ltr on reopening. FM often sold the cheapest fuel around Aberdeen, helping to drive down local prices.
It was good while it lasted! 🤷‍♂️😡
Happy retirement George.

Awesome gig from Talisk in the Lemon Tree tonight, the irrepressible Mohsen was in top form, as usual.
👏👏👏👏

Think very carefully on this as it would be reality under a Farage/Reform leadership, suicide in America is the highest in the world due to hardworking citizens not being able to pay their medical bills.

Also I found out today that if you bank with TSB they can help dv survivors with a runaway fund of £500 to help them set up a new place.

I am utterly sickened at hearing how people in positions of power/influence get away with abusing kids and raping the vulnerable. When is our Gov’t going to admit there is a systemic problem of protecting politicians, police, clergy, royalty and rich at the expense of the victim & change the law?

This is the world’s first steel made without burning fossil fuels. Steel is a massive emitter so this is hugely important!

If you want to plumb the depths of immorality and cruelty the British state can sink to, you could do worse than listen to this. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/serie...

MrsK & weren’t regulars but we have seen some really good gigs there over the years, sad another venue and Aberdeen institution is closing.
Saw @juliefowlis.bsky.social there for the first time, wonder what happened to her?
Farewell Lampie! 😞

This Stakeknife podcast series is a fascinating listen 👇

As is The Handler (8 episodes) from the BBCNI “Assume Nothing” series, the dramatised memoir of a RUC Special Branch officer. It delivers 2 telling quotes- “friendly natives” & “For English Eyes Only”!

Absolutely buzzing over this new video of a rarely seen giant squid

Trump admires “strong leaders” because he desperately wants to be liked by them and dreams of being one! He’s 💩 scared to stand up to Putin so does not want to antagonise him, despite Russia’s relative weakness.
The truth is, they laugh at him!

Another Gem 👇

Another £multi-million tax payer funded send off with a no-tax inheritance. Sounds win-win

This country doesn't work if it does not have us minions on minimum wage keeping everything running.

These politicians seem to forget who kept this fucking country open in Covid!

It wasn't "high earners"!

It was the hard working minimum wage workers, migrants & immigrants.

Fkng hate this shit.

The Tories received £millions from rich donors, how did that play out for working folk?
Reform are recipients of £millions from very rich people. Do you see the connection?

That about sums him up!

There are two main requirements for a nuclear power station. One is to be as close to the power usage as possible and the other is to have a source of water for cooling.

Which is to say as soon as they announce a nuclear power station on the Thames at Westminster then I’m on board.
