Trumpkopp ❌ Hello Gestapo Shitehole

Feeling very frustrated this morning as once more Burns' words impact on life as "The best laid schemes of mice and men gang aft agley." Having built a temporary studio so we could broadcast and record our #FullScottish Review of the Year programmes today, flu has intervened. We will try again.

Who knew? Free healthcare, free education, affordable childcare, paid leave & a social contract between government & citizens really matters.

We have set up a temporary studio in our Glasgow premises until we are able to switch to our new studio in Stirling. Please donate whatever you can afford to help us make the move as smoothly as possible. Thanks www.broadcastingscotland.scot/donate/

This was declared illegal by the 1856 Declaration of Paris. This is a War Crime and has been for 169 years, you would think a Senator would know that.

Please help us raise the funding we need to move to our new studio.

Everyone at Independence Live is shocked by the news of the passing of Pete Scally who was wonderful musician and entertainer. We have covered Pete many times at indy events. Our condolences and love to the family. He will be sadly missed. RIP Pete.

We move in to our new studio in January and still have a bit of work to do to get it ready, but we can't think of a better location for a studio for Scotland's independent broadcaster? We do need to raise about £30K, so please donate whatever you can afford. www.broadcastingscotland.scot/donate/

We are live now with this week's #FMQsLive, starting with General Questions, followed by #FMQs and then the last day's parliamentary business before the Scottish parliament goes into Christmas recess. www.broadcastingscotland.scot/first-minist...

A great wee outfit, working really hard to #BroadcastForScotland Delivering free-to-view programmes online and via apps on your telly, with wheens more plans and potential. Drop them a wee donation if you can. Check them out online to find out more #BroadcastingScotland

We could have found our new studio space, but we will need to get close to our £30k target. With luck and your support we could be in by mid January and up and running again soon after that. Please donate whatever you can afford. Thank you. www.broadcastingscotland.scot/donate/

🇸🇮#Slovenia: IPI and the Slovene Association of Journalists urged the Information Commissioner to terminate the inspection procedure against IPI member investigative newsroom Oštro. Media must be able to carry out data-driven investigative reporting without facing undue pressure. buff.ly/PmPMMk6

This is deeply troubling. The silence of so much of the mainstream. That this should be happening when a former human rights lawyer is Prime Minister… Peace is a greater threat to the powerful than war.

#GVerse via @captmarkkelly.bsky.social "Tonight, we learned the Pentagon is escalating its review of me into "an official command investigation." If #Shit4Brains or #WhiskyLeaks think they can stop me from doing my job and serving the American people, they've got the wrong guy."

If you support fair and balanced news and current affairs, broadcast from Scotland, for Scotland, please donate whatever you can afford and help us move to a new studio.

We might have found the perfect studio space, but we have a lot to do to make the move. We have to be out of our current premises by the end of January, so we really need your support to reach our £30k target in just 6 weeks. www.broadcastingscotland.scot/donate/

Just a wee shout-out for the newly-launched @broadcastscot.bsky.social crowd-funder. They've had a tricky 2025, but are planning to move forward in a big way in 2026. If you can possibly help to support them with the studio move, it'll be a huge help.

We are faced with having to move to new studio premises and that is why we are launching an appeal to raise £30,000 in the next 6 weeks, to enable us complete the move as seamlessly as possible. www.broadcastingscotland.scot/donate/

Please post with #FullScottish if you would like to join the discussion while we are live.

Lineker & now Ince. Even for those not paying attention it should now be obvious that the sort of people who whine loudest about “cancel culture” are the ones doing the cancelling. The far right’s commitment to “freedom of speech” is an authoritarian joke & the BBC has disgraced itself.

Robin Ince reveals to last night’s audience at a recording of Infinite Monkey Cage that the BBC has forced him to resign over his support of trans people

BREAKING: At least 10 people shot, 2 killed, at Brown University in Rhode Island, mayor says. Suspect not in custody

This investigation is yet another baseless attempt by Trump to undermine Boston’s success. In Boston, we are committed to working towards safe, affordable housing for all residents. I don’t expect the most lawless & corrupt President of our time to get that.

It was 22 years ago that I unmasked the highest placed spy for British military intelligence inside the IRA This week, the British state tried to say it was all over It’s not. Justice will remain denied until the army is forced to reveal exactly what it did My story in @heraldscotland.bsky.social

We are relieved to have been given an extension to the lease on our studio until the end of January. Although it has all been dismantled, we now have a temporary set up which will enable us to broadcast until we move. Watch this space and tune in for the #FullScottish tomorrow.

Isn’t it amazing that China leaves Europe in the dust on EVs yet the EU policy response is to be more lenient on regulating combustion engine car emissions?

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

Flu jag done for another year and paracetamols on hand, just in case.

Who’d have thought such an alliance over 80 years could be burst by the stupidest, cruellest, most venal President of the US? And yet…

We keep increasing the pressure on Russia until it takes negotiations seriously. Next week’s European Council will be crucial to secure Ukraine’s financial needs for the coming years. (2/2)

The EU just decided to indefinitely immobilise Russian assets. This ensures that up to €210 billion in Russian funds stay on EU soil, unless Russia fully pays reparations to Ukraine for the damage it has caused. (1/2)

This is wonderful. But look at what lies behind the calls for a specific enquiry into grooming gangs (as opposed to child abuse) and you will find (from some of that enqiry's loudest advocates) exactly the same complex of racial/sexual fear and harted as shouts at hotels...

Legendary Scottish actor and comedian Stanley Baxter has died at the age of 99. www.heraldscotland.com/news...

Apologies fo being unable to bring you #FMQsLive today - we had internet connection issues, which are sorted now, thankfully. We are undergoing a bit of upheaval as we prepare to move to new studios, so please bear with us as we go forward.

This is INSANE www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/t... and these are our closest allies!

85% of people live in countries with restricted freedom of expression & assembly; torture is documented in 140+ states; discrimination targets women, LGBTIQ* persons & minorities. Germany is actively engaged in protecting human rights 365 days a year – nationally and internationally.

Miami will have its first Democratic mayor in 30 years

SNP can make it happen in Scotland, so why are Labour in Wales so bad at it? So bad they've put devolution in jeopardy because people think it doesn't work.

New story! A crazy proposal, I know, but bear with me, I have a serious point to make, as the commission in Turkish parliament to solve the Kurdish issue has entered the final month of its work. #PKK #SDF #Kurds #Turkey #Syria open.substack.com/pub/fgeerdin...

Change to the arrangements for the Outsiders exhibition at Street Level Photoworks in Glasgow. It will now run from 2 April to 17 May and will be the pin up version. Transport costs for the framed version (six huge heavy cases) were too high and the budget is long gone.

New Scottish Government statistics published today show that over the last year, the number of pupils in Scotland’s schools reaching expected levels of literacy and numeracy is at the highest level on record and the poverty-related attainment gap is at a record low. www.gov.scot/publications...
