The only way I will have EU citizenship again is when Scotland finally shows the guts to get independence and we apply through the normal procedures. Luckily for my husband and kids they have dual citizenship with Ireland. Britain always thinks everyone owes them something, nobody else does.

If you are really stuck then you could check out Lakeland in the UK. Theirs is the most popular here and they ship internationally. Obviously you’ll need an adapter for the plug.

Should it be any mitigation, for someone who kills their partner to say "I just snapped when I found out they cheated on me"? As Scots law stands, "provocation by sexual infidelity" reduces murder to culpable homicide. This archaic doctrine needs repealed.

Same here. The worst times for me are going to sleep when the pain is at its worst.. always the voice saying ‘wouldn’t it be better if I never wake up?’

I stopped playing NYT games about a year ago because of all the transphobia, and if "we write Nazi stories" can't make you consider stopping as well, IDK man...

I would be in heaven at that conference.. totally out of my depth but loving every minute of it.

As the US edges closer to bombing Iran, Israel killed over 51 starving Palestinians at a so-called aid site today.

And the UK government says nothing. Still arming Israel. Still enabling genocide.

End all arms sales. Sanction Israeli war criminals. Stop being America’s poodle.

The Iraq playbook is back & the media won’t question it.

Iran has no nuclear weapons. Israel — on trial for genocide — does. Iran signed the NPT & allows IAEA inspections. Israel hasn’t — & its leaders face ICC arrest warrants.

Beware of politicians beating the drums of war.

Jacinda Arden would be good in any country. I still miss my ex First Minister too, Nicola Sturgeon. She didn’t take any shit and when dicks were swinging, she got the scissors.
