After the fun of Carnivale the Maltese faithful move on to the serious business of preparing themselves during Lent in the lead up to Easter.

Dunfermline Press appeal for donations for Dunfermline FoodBank that serves South West Fife with foodbanks at Dunfermline, Cowdenbeath, Benarty, Rosyth and Inverkeithing. @trussellscot.bsky.social

Carnivale in Malta is great fun

Carnival floats mock Donald Trump.

More than two-thirds of households struggling to afford a decent life are in work. New research from @lborouniversity.bsky.social funded by JRF, sets out the scale of the problem. A 🧵

The #pars lost our game in hand away to Morton last night 2-0. Another chance to move into the play off places was missed in a match where we could have easily lost by a heavier score as it was a very poor performance with yet another red card.

Archbishop Thabo Makgoba is joining Christian Aid as our new Chair. A lifelong advocate for dignity, justice and climate action, he brings global leadership and deep experience of tackling inequality. We look forward to working together to challenge the root causes of poverty.

Community Food Banks need support now more than ever.  Here are five ways you can help. Thank you!  #BanktheFood #localfoodbank  #foodshare

Governments must act urgently to prevent further loss of life.That means investing in safe, managed, and accessible pathways to protection. Increased access to resettlement, family reunion, and humanitarian admissions prevent people from taking deadly journeys in the first place Sadly not happening

Fife Council is asking people to report anyone they see sleeping rough by using a simple online form.

So upset that one of my favourite Christian authors whose teaching in his many books I have valued and in particular his classic "What's so amazing about grace" should have committed adultery. I realise that he is not the first and will not be the last christian leader to do so but it still hurts.

Love murals including this one by Maria. Had a lovely day last year while on holiday in Cheltenham just walking around the town enjoying the many murals that they have.

"The people who come to Britain today do not arrive with armies or imperial ambitions. They arrive with skills, hope, and a desire to build a life. Work in our hospitals, care homes, universities, construction sites, small businesses. Even play football in our biggest clubs."

Carnivale this weekend in Malta and that music brings it all back.

This Valentine’s Day, we’re celebrating a partnership we absolutely adore 🩵 Our friends at Computershare don’t just stand beside us, they cycle the extra mile, give from the heart, and prove that teamwork really does make the dream work.

www.churchofscotland.org.uk/news-and-eve... Interesting report on generosity. Focus on Christian giving but a key message is trust in the organisation being donated to. Important that all charities remain conscious of the risk of reputational damage. @trussellscot.bsky.social

The #pars play Partick Thistle this afternoon. “They’ve got good balance in the squad, good attacking players and they’re up there vying with St Johnstone for the top spot. So, we are under no illusions, how difficult the game is, but it’s a really good one to get our teeth into.”

Interesting new report from @ipprscotland.bsky.social Focused on Scotland but relevant across the UK in making the case for social security investment. 1. High social spending is compatible with economic success. Evidence shows European countries with high levels...1/4 www.ippr.org/articles/mor...

Why is the government appealing the decision? The proscription of Palestine Action was wholly disproportionate, the arrests of thousands of peaceful protectors perverse, and the court has found the Home Secretary's action unlawful. Is it that she still believes she knows better than everyone else?

Good to see #pars give Billy Terrell a two year contract extension. He shows a lot of promise and good to see Dunfermline developing young talented players.

BREAKING: government’s decision to proscribe Palestine Action under terrorism law ruled UNLAWFUL This matters for everyone. For years, the right to protest has been under sustained and deliberate attack. Thousands of people have been arrested for something that should have never been a crime.

If you read the article you will see the photo of Dunfermline's striker Chris Kane in the previous match against Partick Thistle having his shirt pulled back at the corner but once again no penalty given to the pars.

@shelterscotland.bsky.social warned that the housing system “creates different outcomes for people based on their skin colour,” citing data showing that Black people and people of colour are 2.5 times more likely to experience homelessness than white Scottish households. @cyrenians.bsky.social

The Maltese love their brightly decorated churches and the carrying of the statues during the festas. Many of these over the Summer months.

Key position in our structure to increase our unreserved income. @cyrenians.bsky.social

Posted at the weekend that i had stopped supporting new England patriots given the links of the owner with Donald Trump. I have followed Manchester United as my English team for many years but these comments disgust me as does his association with Nigel farage.

Damian's photos are consistently outstanding and this one is again. #photography

Love the bougainvillea that you get in Malta in the various colours. Used to have a wonderful display at the entrance of where I lived in San Pawl tat Targa.

How many tragedies will it take for governments to act? These deaths were preventable. They are the direct result of political choices that put borders before people, leaving those fleeing war and persecution with no safe way to reach protection or reunite with family. SAFE ROUTES NOW
