I thought the union was a partnership of equals?

The cost of oil for heating homes has tripled in the UK. Luckily, spring is almost here. I blame Trump, the child rapist.

Tell me thatโ€™s fake. Please tell me itโ€™s fake.

Iโ€™m sure some MAGA nut can find a verse in their bible that mentions this kind of thing.

Rude! Bit touchy about your pedestrian musical taste, arenโ€™t you?

Why? To punish them? Never liked Dire Straits. Knopfler did some good soundtracks, though. Most notablyLocal Hero, I think.

Travelling from the east to the west coast of Scotland for a gig. The mighty piper, #BrighdeChaimbeul is playing her home village hall. This is Scottish folk music at its best. Am choosing to ignore the rising price of diesel and the queues at fuel stations.

Ouch. On a cold hand, too. I bet that hurt.

โ€œThatโ€™s a stupid idea, but it might just throw up some new beachfront property somewhere. And distract the peopleโ€™s righteous fury that their president is likely a child sex offender. โ€œ.

I can see how it played out and sounded like an option when they were gaming the scenarios.

Got to keep those supply chains open, eh? All this turmoil to keep 2 old farts in power and out of jail. #EpsteinFiles

Plenty of money for war, but not for people. Same, tired old story

A common trait of (would be) dictators is that their family members show up in all kinds of official places.

The American people must be well pleased with their anti-aircraft tech. It canโ€™t be easy to shoot down three of your own F-15s

I thought you were referring to the number of times the US has attempted regime change since 1945.

How do you feel about British imperialism on Scottish soil? Faslane, springs to mind.

The โ€œ green energy parkโ€ ie waste -to -energy incinerator built in Torry doesnโ€™t seem to well thought through either. Mind you, #Moray has similar issues to grapple with over the Moray Flow Park. Itโ€™s a poorly conceived real estate deal , part funded by Scottish Enterprise.

Mainstream economics does not value the source of all physical wealth, the planet. Instead, it treats it as a free resource and dumping ground. Itโ€™s economics for the hard-of-thinking. The economics of the future must leave these childish ideas behind. #circulareconomics #planetaryboundaries

Maybe the SNP ( who I vote for, alongside the Greens) will take note and stop calling people who are resisting the industrialisation of the Scottish highlands โ€œfar rightโ€.

Itโ€™s also complete haggis-dung. I personally know two practicing christians, both Nigerian. No one else I know would even entertain the idea of going to church.

And this is a true story from Glasgow, Scotland about a neighbourhood spontaneously resisting a deportation of two Sikh men. Scots donโ€™t like bullies. Nae pasaran , Ken what I mean? youtu.be/JOY5T03hHbk

Itโ€™s a good session. Fiddles, 2 or more small pipes, whistles, singing, Bodhran, the odd guitar, weans running about , some of them sing, sometimes they dance. Then they go home & the music & the whisky come together. Folk sit around and we go until we finish. Proper old school, small hall vibe.

404 people, almost exclusively not Scots, own 50% of Scottish land. Ridiculous. Some of them are welcome. Some of them are definitely not.

Iโ€™ve noticed that. If you are ever passing Balnain village hall in the first Saturday of the month between 8pm onwards, and feel like a tune, do drop in. Itโ€™s becoming legendary. Players get free whisky.

Kind of like The Waterboys, in some ways. Your name is the one people remember, but all those other players were indispensable. No one person could have made Fishermanโ€™s Blues. Not possible.

Trump could ruin the biggest event in the world, the World Cup, and in one fell swoop, piss of more people than any human being has ever lived has managed to do. And he might. Maybe to distract from Epstein files. FIFA are becoming a hideous thing too.
