Those bastards Trump and Vance tried to blame Iran for doing this to their own citizens. Absolute genocidal, war mongering fuck wits

Great match for a 0-0 that Rangers v Celtic game. Nasty scenes at thr end though. Disgraceful behaviour

Enjoyed the egg chasing today. Best Scotland performance in years .... until the last 10 minutes or so

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?

If I have learned anything over the last couple of days, it is that Badenoch would be outrageously gung ho and dragging the UK through the shit sort of leader as everything about her previously suggested. A wild card lunatic with no regard for law or sovereignty of other states. What a choice

That time frame would suggest since the Ayotollah took charge. The direct result of upset caused by the CIA/MI6 Operation Ajax coup that replaced the democratically elected regime. You reaped what you sowed and think doing it again will give a better yield?

For those following my walk the length of Scotland to raise money for Cancer Research, there's been a photo update on the fund-raising page. Link in the comments. In the meantime, here's some of my favourite photos from the latest leg - the John O'Groats trail.

Great just what we need. The hung-ho roasters turning it into a holy war

Listening to all the afters from Celtic and Rangers fans, you'd think Beaton had a shocker. I thought he handled a very fiesty game with lots of contentious incidents fairly well. Yes some mistakes but a lot happening. Didnt go to the book too early, let some rough and tumble slide etc.

"I was 18 when I came to town, they called it the summer of love. Burning babies, burning flags. The hawks against the doves" youtu.be/unu79PP2Klo?...

How do we get our troops lives back on this guarantee?

This is madness and history will judge us for it.

Last time the UK went into Iran for 'national interests' it was Operation Boot to reinstate the Shah over a democratically elected prime minister to preserve the raping of their oil reserves. The overthrow of that installed Ayatollah Khomeini. It's like they never learn from past clusterfucks

Well put. I note the article also glosses over the fact that the rail link was an SNP proposal that it wanted to do but could not fund. While in the many decades Labour held sway they did diddly-squat about it despite it being a clear infrastructure problem.

1) It is not defensive; 2) Their actions are clearly illegal; and 3) You stood on a platform of 'no more illegal wars' you hypocritical arsehole

Starmer must withdraw permission for the US to use UK bases to launch airstrikes on Iran and parliament must be given a vote on any UK involvement.

I was planning to go to Cyprus. Terminally ill family member there. I'm now not, as my families safety is at risk because the airbase was being used for illegal military operations by other nations. Ones that Starmer refuses to condemn even while condemning the retaliation. Take responsibility clown

The man has a knack for projecting his own warped megalomania on to others

Yon president oompa loompa really has a thing for wrecking schoolgirls lives, eh?

Some riddy for FIFA, gieing the Peace Prize to a guy that turns around and invades one country to nab its president then bombs the buggery out of another. Aye good call lads! We still on for holding it over there, aye?

See yon Randy Andy is being held at his his brothers pleasure then

I've never felt British in my fairly long life. I'm scotttish albeit from Irish roots. I've always felt like an 'other' in what I saw, what I experienced and what I felt in my dealings with others all over the islands. I'm not sure Britishness is really a thing other than mock Englishness outside it

Great result for Scotland there in the egg chasing. Proper dug it out with good fast play against a stronger and more fancied team

Cultural Hegemony they call this. Randy Andy doesn't get the "the King's brother" treatment but when a policy point is there to be scored.....

Thomas Frank failing at Spurs was predictable. They need a culture transplant to become winners again

Early Caturday picture of Biggles. Every evening on the couch at his seat for the 6pm to 9pm snooze

I think I could manage to go myself as a history buff if I convinced myself it was like an authentic 1940s Germany experience trip. Wife says she won't go though as she looks visibly foreign and wouldn't feel safe. So I'm out

Gutting but im cancelling my USA world cup trip. Just can't do it. Hope America sort their shit out

Dunno if this makes me a pioneer or a jakey, but think I've developed a winning idea. When too much going on to get to sleep easy, 5 pints (no more, no less) then watching crap tv with leftovers microwaved in one of these easy bed eating bad boys. Microwave friendly, handled and big rimmed

Square and eggs in purgatory for breakfast today before I get back up on the roof to finish the storm repairs

Listening to Sacked in the Morning and Alaister Campbell talking about Diego Maradonna. Even just hearing stories of the man brings me right back to my childhood and falling in love with the game. Before Diego I liked playing but never watched. After Diego football became something magical

Im not here to answer all life's big questions. But for those that thought does paratha, blue cheese and dry aged pancetta work together the same way Indians, French and Italians do on a daily basis.... the answer is better. Learn from your food

Last of the leftovers for dinner tonight

Thought both the Hibs v Hearts and Livi v Celtic games were good watching today. A bit crazy, not always top quality, but loud raucous colourful affairs with passion and noise. The feeling it matters. That's Scottish fitba's unique selling point.

Partizan pundits like Boyd really batter my sausage. Had nothing to say when Ralston fell on the ball after a tug while trying to get his arms out the way. But when its going the other way and a guy has his arms in an unnatural position, then the fouls get considered? Just call them neutrally

Leftovers for dinner tonight. Hope its as good as it was yesterday

Oil is depleted and getting robbed of resources all over again

Nantes is pretty okay it turned out

Celtic really are rank rotten right now

If they stole the oil they certainly planned it long in advance and hid it well. Or Trump is a compulsive and shameless liar

Sometimes I feel Team America was a promo for Trump

UN special rapporteur denounces 'Israeli genocide with complicity of states'

Is it just me or did Hibs get a pen there for a 'handball' that struck a shoulder above the armpit line?

French ingin soup for brekkie. Tres bien as my French amigos say

Top six for the Falkirk Bairns and Rangers next in the sights to be overtaken

Absolutely love these 2 photos I took of my auld da while we walked the John O'Groats trail. He stopped to change socks and caught his position from a different angle he was blissfully unaware of. Scotland is a beautiful place 💙

I've stopped buying any American products. Been screaming about Europe needing to cut ties and be self sufficient particularly on defence. I really want to see the World Cup. Damn you FIFA.

Got to play with a hiab recently. Feel like my little nephew who is obsessed with trucks

I really want to go to the World Cup, but I damn well dont want to be going to USA just now. Its a dilemma. Hope we end up in Canada or Mexico

This has to be the biggest game of the weekend
