This by @neilmackay.bsky.social is so baffling. And it's true. Every time I was up in Scotland I was astonished about how badly under- and misrepresented the independence movemnt is on the BBC. While its still going strong. Ignore this at your own peril. Plus it also undermines the BBC's authority

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... More power to them. To lose your child to suicide is bad enough. To have every tech company refuse you access to accounts which may hold the key as to why is salt in an open wound.

Terrible framing of the recycling case by BBC Scotland. The editorial line was unbalanced and inaccurate. Worthy of a complaint.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cr... "Not about personal ambition" Aye. Right.

Reform is not inevitable. Get out and vote.

On my way to the Supreme Court where I'll be proud to support 15-year-old Becky Pepper-Jackson, West Virginia's only transgender athlete, as she opposes the state's effort to ban her from playing as herself. Win or lose, Becky and her family are heroes for standing up for what's right

It would be a shame not to let as many people as possible share Zahawi's thoughts on Farage.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Another one jumps ship.

#SARvTOU Horrifically one eyed commentary from BBC Radio Faz.

@snp.org In light of X now monetising Grok's production of child porn, will the party and Scottish Government please take all official accounts off X and encourage other governments to do so?

@davidallengreen.bsky.social Allow a Scot a wee quibble. Bagehot's opus was entitled the English Constitution, not the UK Constitution.

The victim of the ICE shooting has been identified: Renee Nicole Good, 37 Her mother said, “Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known. She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.”

We have learned that Sex Matters - the anti trans group whose activities you are obliged to fund through your taxes - is being investigated by the Charity Commission. goodlaw.social/j4r1

So Celtic broke the emergency glass...

I hear that Ruben Amorim is available.

Mindful that OH has just been to the car to get the "emergency corkscrew" (No. I don't know why either), the time has come to wish you a very happy, peaceful and healthy new year.

Finally found the Bargain Wool Shop in Glasgow. Looking forward to much knitting and crocheting in the new year. #knitsky

Does anyone have a link to Scottish banter's Haggis Lag post that they can put up? It's pure genius. I'd repost but don't have fb on my phone.

Ok. How many of you watched the Death in Paradise special without whistling the theme tune to the Great Escape at the end?

www.scotsman.com/news/opinion... Not sure if this will open. I got it as a free link on a news round up. But, if this is the state of unionist thinking, then I hope the independently minded enjoy it. Content warning: it's rabidly transphobic.

Christmas drink are being served so I'm putting the phone down as you should never drink and post.

Christmas Eve. Time to dig out the Messiah and fire up the oven for the last bits of Christmas prep.

Do they realise this in England?

This is becoming a very very shameful episode - and a tragedy for these young and courageous people and their friends and families filtonactionists.com

Heading into Glasgow. Sign on the motorway "Event at Hampden". Damn straight. 'Mon the Warriors!

The Union between Sweden and Norway (1814-1905) Norway peacefully dissolved it in 1905 to become fully independent. The sky didn't fall in, there was no plague of locus, no backstabbing, no lies...just two normal grown up countries, going their own way. #EndLondonRule #IndependenceIsNormal

Celebrity Masterchef. Absolutely the right winner.

So, we used to have an 8ft tall tree which sat nicely in the conservatory but we moved to a smaller house and got something more in keeping... For the knitters, yes that is genuine Sanquhar pattern sock.

Good morning #Unabhängigkeit

Can anyone recommend a good Scots disability discrimination lawyer?

Finally, volunteer selection for Glasgow 2026 opens properly...

@aprilglick.bsky.social Breathe. Deep breaths. We're here for you.

Phone is show 3 met office update symbols along the top. Does that mean I've won something?

The EU fines X. Musk throws toys put of pram. How about the EU and all the member states remove all of their accounts from X?

Brazil. Of course. Was never going to be anyone else. #NoScotlandNoParty.

From the experts. Doing ALT text properly.

Why we need art. And immigrants.

So watching another Hometown, on one of the less popular streaming. This will mean nothing to our cousins across the Pond or anymore under about 50 in the UK but the couple who are looking for a new home are Terry and June.

Wishing all a happy St Andrew's Day.

Does Whamaggedon count if it's not December?

Local Christmas lights switch on today. Also realised that means tomorrow is the first Sunday of Advent and therefore Stir Up Sunday and there is a complete absence of relevant ingredients in the cupboards.

The view in Pollokshields this morning. I love Glasgow.

Just listening to post budget analysis and the predictable "skivers versus strivers" rhetoric. I didn't hear anything about tax evasion measures. Tax evasion is the biggest hole in the budget. Why does no politician ever dare to grasp that nettle?

It was a great privilege to meet President Catherine Connolly this morning and to discuss the deep connections and shared values of Ireland and Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇮🇪

Typo of the day. From a purveyor of haberdashery - with a possible line in collaboration. "Designer quitling fabrics."

Oxymoron of the day heard on R5L. "The Twelve Days of Christmas" Advent calendar.

It's taken a month for a response to an email asking for an informal resolution to a situation. Today the PA replied, basically saying bugger off and take the official route. So, official it is. I will enjoy filling out the box which asks who tried to resolve things and who didn't.

Griters are oot and aboot. Stone Cold Steve Frostin is heading our way.
