Per most recent figures, net migration to NI *over the past 22 years* has been ~62,000 people. Only 3% of Northern Ireland’s population currently belong to an ethnic minority. Pogroms in Belfast (as with Ballymena last year) are just gutter-level "One Is One Too Many" racism, and nothing else.

😱😱😱 And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media. A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children. Lets make this viral again 👇

Pope Leo: "Every boat that arrives does not bring only migrants; it brings with it a question: what world have we built, if so many brothers must risk death to seek life?"

Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward in the same direction. Antoine de Saint-Exupery (1900-1944) Saint-Exupery my favourite author. In WW2 he was in French air force & shot down by German fighter pilot whose all-time hero was man he killed.

I ❤️ librarians. #BookSky

Reform UK have promoted hate and racism, not just online, but on our streets and in our parliament. Scotland must stand together against their hate.

UEFA said fuck FIFA.

Shame on him: Andy Burnham rules out paying compensation to Waspi women. Labour leadership hopeful says he does not support payments after backlash but is open to other benefits. If it had been men who’d lost out I’m sure it would be a different story.

Enough is enough. When politicians use hateful language, they create conditions for hatred to grow. This is the Reform party I warned about, and they should be ashamed for inciting racial division in Scotland. I will always stand up for the inclusive country we are. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Le Monde: Human-caused climate change set to reach 1.5°C around 2030. In a study published today, a consortium of researchers confirms that the most ambitious threshold of the Paris Agreement on climate change, signed in 2015, is likely to be exceeded within the next four years.

Smart chap.

Time for the SNP and Greens to get ALL their ducks in a row NOW. Another election will be announced by next year.

I think this is the most artistic door I have ever seen. #Doors #Barcelona #StreetPhotography #Art #WoodCarvings

The legality of PARDONS will have To be dealt with when TRUMP Is out of office and we have a dem president. THERE IS NO WAY TODD BLANCHE can be pardoned and go on with life as if nothing happened. The pardons will need to be over ruled. ITS COMING

NEW on “Paper Trail”: Cancer drug Revlimid is one of the bestselling pharmaceutical products of all time, with total sales of over $100 billion. It also cost nearly $1,000 per pill, even though that same pill cost just 25 cents to make. Listen to this episode wherever you get your podcasts:

Do you think the world’s gone mad? Or if we switched off all ‘social’ media it would become sane again?

Someone posted a ? about finding a name for books handed down by family but I can’t find post again! What I thought was “A blessing of books"

CANADA COMES TO THE RESCUE OF SOMALIAN REFEREE OMAR ARTAN! 🇨🇦🇸🇴 David Eby, Premier of British Columbia, has announced that his province would welcome Omar Artan. He stated that Artan should be allowed to referee World Cup matches within his jurisdiction, specifically in the host city of Vancouver.

Unconscionable: ICE deported one the organizers of the Union of People Kidnapped by ICE, Rogelio Bolufe Izquierdo, after he organized a hunger strike at the Tacoma, WA. detention camp. Bolufe Izquierdo is a Cuban national. They deported him to Guayaquil, Ecuador.

The brilliant Feargal Sharkey sums it up "The whole industry’s got to go. Absolutely, without exception" Time to end the privatisation rip off diverting 1/3 OF YOUR WATER BILL into shareholder dividends and debt Are you listening DEFRA? www.mirror.co.uk/news/feargal...

Breaks mine too…

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026... This has done it for me; Starmer is no leader, he is pitiful. A clearer case of incitement of riot and violence cannot be imagined yet our PM has dithered and delayed while shaking in fear of X and Musk like a frightened soft little woodland creature. 1/7

Should X be banned? Yes. And it should have happened in January when non-consensual sexual imagery proliferated on the site. The government’s inaction on what is becoming increasingly a vehicle for violence and hate is appalling. Much more needs to be done. And quickly.

I remember the bombs. I remember walking past burning cars to get to work. I remember the shootings. I remember the fear. I remember the hope everyone felt as we voted for the Good Friday agreement. I remember us believing that future generations wouldn't have to suffer this.

I hope we're going to see many charges for incitement to racial hatred, incitement to violence and incitement to riot, all of which have been happening blatantly and prolifically on social media. Or will two-tier policing in the UK, favouring the right and the far right, prevail yet again?

Promises made, promises delivered. Aberdeen’s new GP walk-in centre will open on 23 June - the seventh in Scotland, and we will open another four within the first 100 days of this government. We’re making it easier for you to see a GP and ending the 8am rush.

I hope the US/Israeli efforts to topple the Iranian government continue to fail. I hope Iran gets stronger so that it can hammer Israel whenever Israel does evil things. I hope the US war machine implodes, I hope the US empire ends, and I hope Palestine is freed from the scourge of Zionism.

Among the West Bank atrocities, the Hebron killing of 9m old baby hits me most. Broad day light. Soldiers wave for car to stop. Car slows down and stops. Then the soldiers shoot live bullets at the car. Middle class family. The dad is a university professor. This could be me or you.

Planet, really.

From entire Europe

Palantir needs to be removed from ALL government contracts.

We don’t want Palantir in our government either: @warnock.senate.gov @ossoff.senate.gov @repnikema.bsky.social

Data sovereignty and freeing the NHS from Palantir should be a priority. Being beholden to US Big Tech will only be to the detriment of global citizens who are nothing but a commodity to be leveraged.

Good to know

Gwyneth Paltrow is paid $10 million to promote the sale of luxury condominiums in Israel. She was paid $588 for each of the 17,000 children killed in Gaza. What a disgrace to Hollywood, to Judaism, to women and to humanity!

Trial by jury is a cornerstone of our democracy and an essential safeguard against authoritarianism. The government has no mandate to restrict it - a move which will put us on a path toward authoritarian justice. youtu.be/x6NIiM9G5ag?...

Roger Gall @Shambles151 "A Swiss court has acquitted five Palestine solidarity activists, annulled their fines, recognised the reality of genocide in Palestine, and affirmed that peaceful civil disobedience is protected by freedom of expression." Please RT this until the UK courts do the same.

Palantir's co-founder claimed "the NHS makes people sick" Yet this US tech giant now runs the NHS data platform. There are serious concerns about its access to patient data and human rights record. The Government should use the break clause and kick Palantir out of our NHS.

As Trump prepares to host a UFC fight at the White House this week, his family is promoting a venture aimed at profiting off the spectacle by selling gold coins priced as high as $12,000.

Amazing starling bird vocalizations. Original post

Happy Wednesday.

Kamlager-Dove: We cannot have a president asleep on the job. Is he sleeping in classified briefings or on calls with foreign leaders? How can we trust a president who is literally asleep at the wheel?

For 1000s of years people have walked across continents with no borders making humans stronger, healthier & more intelligent by mixing DNA, cultures & traditions. Idea of nation states recent but has caused many wars. Walking is best way to travel as there’s time to think & talk to those you meet.

Salutary lesson today… had to go & prove who I am at nearest big Post Office so that accountant could file Hayloft accounts at Companies House. In DNA terms have been here for more than 1000 years - before Angles & Saxons arrived… but still felt insecure & kept thinking of those who arrived recently

As far as history can say original people of UK were Celts - now pushed to edges. Then wave after wave of immigrants - Angles, Saxons, Normans - to make UK what it is today. All Brexit champions are Europeans so if they want to send migrants home they should set an example by being first to leave.
