Perhaps the most important documentary of our times, Everybody to Kenmure Street is an official selection at Sundance and received a rousing ovation at its screening.
And to the good people of Glasgow, the world salutes your kindness, love, empathy, intelligence and bravery.

Just so you know, Scotland is closer to Greenland than the USA.
And.... both Copenhagen and Washington are pretty much equidistant to Nuuk.
So just imagine how stupendously stupid one has to be to base a geopolitical strategy on the one-dimensional map of the world.

Thanks to Brexit, we no longer have to put up with unelected bureaucrats.
In other news, the new leader of Reform in Scotland is Lord Malcolm Offord, totally unelected in any capacity whatsoever and appointed as leader by me alone. Still, it's only Scotland.

Still finding it hard to fathom why any decent-minded person would want to remain on X / Twitter.
It's like watching Question Time and expecting the audience not to be riddled with far-right rockets.

A very long and important THREAD -
The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974.
And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself.

From Sco footballer, McTominay: “Andy Robertson said a nice word to me before the game about the stage we’re on and how this is where big players come and do their stuff. I thought why can’t I be one of them?” Ignore idiots claiming ‘oh the arrogance’. This is the mindset Sco sportsmen/women need!

Astonishing second half performance from Glasgow to come back from 0 - 21 down to defeat the galacticos of Toulouse 28 - 21.
And for football fans wondering how good this was, it's the equivalent of Celtic being 0 - 3 down to Real Madrid at half time and winning 4 - 3.
