New Finland film screenings in Ullapool, Largs, Prestwick & Dumfries - plus Edin date shifted. This week Perth, Nairn & Inverness. First big screening at Tayport filled to capacity. A big relief - few have visited so I worried folk wouldn't be able to relate. All details at lesleyriddoch.com/events

Wonder why #Ireland just can't deny them landing clearance at SNN/DUB etc? Or overfly clearance through their airspace?
Same could be said for #Scottish airports - especially #Prestwick
Been a decades old issue - per the attachment
With Catherine Connolly in place, the hope is for action
Daily Record article: Donald Trump's US Air Force makes 550 landings at Scottish airport in just 10 months. Donald Trump's US Air Force makes 550 landings at Scottish airport in just 10 months
Trump is no friend of Scotland.
He has threatened our neighbours, lied about our country, and armed war criminals.
The US military shouldn't be allowed to use publicly owned infrastructure in Scotland, such as Prestwick Airport. It's time to kick them out.
US military has landed at Prestwick more than 550 times, almost every single day, since 1 April 2025.
That is not the occasional stop-off, that is sustained military use of publicly-owned Scottish infrastructure.
Itβs time for Parliament to stand up to Trump.

NEW: US military flights from Prestwick Airport nearly doubled in January when Donald Trump's forces were accused of violating Scottish law, figures show.
The Greens have said the Scottish Government must use the powers it has to "take a stand"

American planes land at publicly owned Prestwick Airport every day, and the Americans broke Scots law extracting crew of the tanker who had been brought to Scotland.

This Wednesday, weβre debating a motion to evict US forces from Prestwick and ban them from publicly-owned airports like Wick.
Scotlandβs infrastructure shouldnβt be a staging ground for Trump's agenda.
Take action:
βBan Trumpβs army from our airports β
Send the President a message that Scotland will not be complicit in threats to our friends and neighbours.
Prestwick Airport is not a private military base. We must act to ensure our infrastructure is not used to boost Trump or his agenda!
@scottishgreens.org
Under Trump the US military has shown contempt for both Scottish law and international law.
The Scottish Government should immediately evict US military operations from Prestwick Airport and halt their access to all other Scottish Government-owned airports. π
π« Trumpβs military out of Scotland!
Last week @scottishgreens.org led a debate to evict Trumpβs troops from Scottish Government airports, including Prestwick, which has been used as a de facto US military base for years.
Every other party voted to keep them. Greens voted to give them the boot!
I just saw a US transport place landing at Prestwick. No doubt refueling on its way back from supplying the war materiel to the Middle East.
Our airports and the US air bases here are supporting the war machine.
We could stop this but we are in an abusive partner situation.
So now Prestwick is a target. Thanks Starmer, you ass-licking Zionist pedo protector.

I've been accused of "spreading disinformation" by pointing out that the British state is giving military support to US/Israel. You see the top left coroner? That a USAF Globemaster which took off from RAF Prestwick in Scotland. Are people willfully ignorant or just uninformed?

The US and Israel have contempt for international law. How futile to ask them to explain how their actions align with it.
It's urgent that the FM now answers the Scottish Greens' demand to block Trump's forces from using assets owned by the Scottish Government, like Prestwick airport.
A slight improvement on yesterday's statement. But it still says nothing about the routine use of Scottish Government owned infrastructure, like Prestwick airport, by US forces.
We cannot stand up for international law while still putting our infrastructure at the disposal of those who ignore it.
Prestwick too.

I have seen a lot of cursed stuff in my time in academia but this is among the *most* cursed.
Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing βreviewedβ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.
This is the equivalent of Caligula making his horse a senator.

MPsβ basic salary to rise to Β£110,000 by end of parliament, watchdog says.
This should be accompanied by a total ban on second jobs, which in most cases is a corporate bribe. Must end all conflict of interests.
Being a MP is a full time job. MPs must act exclusively as MPs.
there are a lot of people working in the government right now who want to intentionally trigger an apocalypse to create the conditions for the return of jesus christ and I know how crazy that sounds but its absolutely true
