Partial Policing I woke to 68 messages last Sunday morning. Not that unusual to most of you I expect, but this was a bit different. Police Scotland had decided to go door-knocking about half-ten on Saturday night t…

'This was a clear failure of the police to do their job. There were multiple times when a quiet word, or perhaps a bit of mediation could have stemmed the situation. But no, standing around was the priority of the day.'

Oh aye, long coats for the Bunnymen look, short suede coats for 'style'.

Is there a matching range of ear plasters? You know the ones that magically re-grew that ear.

I saved some of the photos. Considerrd saving old tweets... But just deactivated account instead

in less childish news, de-activated my old twitter account. That's a decade of social media activity gone

Would England be richer without Scotland? No, it would be poorer! If Scotland voted for independence, would England be richer? Let's look at Scottish industries and what it contributes to the UK finances.

McCrone
report was classified and only came to light in 2005 upon a freedom of information request. However, Scotland was not allowed to know that it would have been one of the wealthiest countries in the (world) hidden to stop Scottish Independence

Sparky is a great name for a doggo.

Institutional disobedience could be the way forward for independence There’s a very interesting and important article in The National this Sunday by the much respected writer and commentator Neal Ascherson about charting a way forward for the independence camp…

"In order to get Scottish independence, the pro-independence parties are going to have to be much more assertive, confrontational even, and ditch the pretence that we are dealing with principled opponents who play by the established rules."

King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £125m a year tax free from the tax payer and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed.

But he still needed a 45% pay rise.

Like if he needs a pay cut.

Nerding out with my chess.com profile, where you can select Scotland as your country. Dragged my rating up recently... Might as well share before I slump doon.

Very good indeed

Aye! We're a Scottish & Irish family. Himself was pupped in co. Wicklow. And he's daft but funny & sweet, and wears a dog collar... Nominative determinism in action

ta! I avoid them; shame, as their haggis flavoured crisps were great. Are they not re-branded now as 'Taylors' or something bland?

i'd like to be added, please. Thank you in advance

Job opportunities for Aberdeen drop by 700 in just 43 days. How low will they go?

This is a betrayal and quite clearly shows that the power over Scotland’s energy should be in Scotland’s hands - independence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Up to 300 jobs should be created at GB Energy's new headquarters in Aberdeen, its new boss has said. Juergen Maier, who was appointed chairman in June, told a House of Commons select committee that a workforce plan had not yet been created but his estimate was there would be 200-300 roles in the city. screenshot from BBC news of 20 Nov, 2024, He said there was "a lot of opportunity" to take people from the oil and gas sector for the state-owned energy company, which was a flagship policy.... source - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cgqypkd0x47o

screenshot from www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... from 20 Nov, 2024.

from memory, the BBC article said could lead to "200-300" jobs, not the "300" from the headline. Significantly different, and the 'could' makes any figure unreliable in any case.
