Lovely light on Dumyat this evening

Is it really *that hard* to say that it is totally morally wrong to say to people who have come here legally, worked, paid taxes, built their lives here, contributed to Britain, that they have to fuck off now, rather than "unfunded".

Oh no, nobody could've seen this coming. It all happened so fast 🤡 🌍

After ‘thoughtful’ reflections on the tanking Disney subscription, more like

Easy to get things like this wrong. I often mispronounce Trump as Twat 🤪

"Sources said Starmer’s speech would build on an argument he made in an opinion piece for the Sun newspaper" (just in case you were wondering how "progressive" it was going to be.) www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This was shocking and should be front page news - incompetence and corruption at the highest levels. Of course there will be no accountability for those responsible

Reform's ‘plan’ to revoke the legal status of millions of UK residents is morally abhorrent & economic madness The public believe in fairness & mutual respect, not this cruel Trumpian policy that would leave us all poorer. We are not America - we must resist this dangerous turn in British politics.

Absolutely this

It makes my blood boil to hear Richard Tice telling Scots what they think about migration.

Presumably we can expect a name change soon at the Beeb - the Reform UK Propaganda Channel (RUKPC)

Proud to contribute frontline testimony to tonight's enraging @itvx.com documentary "The Covid Contracts: Follow the Money". Boris Johnson's govt squandered £8.7 billion on unusable PPE, while grifters like Michelle Mone made millions. Tonight, 10.15pm, ITV1. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

This does not look like “impartiality”. It looks like propaganda. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/how...

British media pumps out daily propaganda pieces for Farage, fails to offer *any scrutiny* and basically legitimises rampant racism, then puts on its ‘innocent face’ and clutches its pearls at the rise of the far right… What a grim betrayal of our democracy. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/how...

Farage, Johnson, Trump, Bolsonaro… different countries, same trick. Lies become performance, scandal becomes marketing. Accountability? Optional. The Bear looks on sadly

Lovely evening for an Ochils walk

What’s also astonishing is the US president speaks like an eight year old child - and people still take him seriously

New (for us) and very nice DIPA from Ireland - #SaturdayEvening

I confess I become increasingly irritated with Brits who inform me in what kind of deep trouble my country is in, and how blind we are supposedly to this, at a time when right wing nationalism is surging in Britain and NATO is hanging by a thread. My Friends. We are in the same boat.

Hey #edusky: what have I said for years about not putting images of children on your websites or socials ? This is why www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Nice round of Ben More and Stob Binnean today, although the weather was not as good as forecast and the deep vegetation made for heavy going at times. Flyover at strava.app.link/xKuxrTgrNWb

Democracies don't have some god-given right to prevail. Great nations can descend into autocracy, and more - throughout history - great civilisations have been known to crumble practically overnight. 80 years of peace and relative prosperity have lulled millions into believing it all immutable.

Do we really need this shite?

We are in Judean People’s Front territory here 🤪 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

She just needs to be holding a scythe and the imagery is complete 🤣😂🤣😂

Regardless of whether you support or oppose ‘Antifa’, it is an idea - an ideology - not an organisation. Only totalitarian regimes outlaw ideas

A stark reminder that wealth and social capital are what matter in the UK www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

"We’ve done ... 25 or 30 projections since we’ve been going. Often the police come along & we have a chat to them, and they .. occasionally tell us to not do it. But no one’s ever been arrested before, so it is ridiculous that four of our guys have been arrested for malicious communications"

This disgusts me - pandering to a thin-skinned narcissist

Quite incredible this is even being discussed. Quoting Charlie Kirk and Musk’s plans for us. And traitorous Farage as their way in. All those moronic Brexiters calling for ‘control’ and ‘sovereignty’, now happy to be kicked around by American fascists. It’s horrific and it must not happen. (Times)

The Centre is now on the Far Right.

The UK authorities have lost the plot completely.

Stark. When the defence of a state visit becomes all about very large companies moving piles of money around then it shouldn't be a surprise that so many people think politics and economics is broken and not about them. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
