Proud Scot 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and avid Trekkie 🖖 All round geek. Husband to a smart and confident woman and father to one son and two cats. Celtic fan 🍀
I have questions about this new Restore Britain mob.
The most pressing one is 'What date are we restoring things to?'

Can it be 1706 so Scotland can avoid signing that God awful treaty?
Or 1602 and get Elizabeth I to adopt?
You've got my vote if that's the case 😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Watching the live action 'How to Train your Dragon' and I've been pulled out by the accents being predominantly South London (with the exception of Stoic).

Congrats to the Rugby boys today at Murray field. What a performance!

But...

I special shout out to our Cricket team at the T20 World Cup who came within 10 balls of beating England.

No harm to the boys but we shouldn't have gotten that close to winning. Fantastic effort! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

This brave woman speaks for millions of British people.

Meanwhile these thugs behave in an entirely menacing manner and nothing is done.
This woman in Crowborough who took down flags is a hero and I hope she's ok.

Tonight's episode of SFA was OK, although it should have been over in 5 mins.
What kind of Away team goes anywhere without phasers or tricorders?

The Burn is the fall of the Commonwealth and these Furies guys are just the Magog.

Here at EnterpriseSplaining we are on a Second Contact mission today, revisiting the Star Trek ENT episode Cogenitor. @mxdax.bsky.social joins us as we discuss how this episode handles nonbinary gender and how it compares to similarly themed episodes in TNG and Alien Nation.

This poor man!
He just wants to catch fish (but probably can't due to pollution in the river)
He just wants to drink beer & drive trucks (hopefully not at the same time as that's dangerous)
He wants to feed his dog (but can't afford it due to the cost of living crisis)

The UK unemployment figure as of Nov '25 was 5.1% or 1.84mil
I'm not disputing that perhaps 9mil are claiming benefits but I'll bet a lot of them are working people who need to top up their wages because of low pay & too few people hoarding the rest of the money
'UK has been colonised by immigrants', says INEOS boss and Man Utd co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe
In an interview with Sky News's Ed Conway, Sir Jim says Britain faces profound political, social and economic challenges, among them an unprecedented rise in immigration in recent years.

So, the Scottish Leader of a Unionist party wants the UK Leader to step down because it's in the best interests of Scotland?

Isn't this making the case for Independence right there?

I guess irony can be pretty ironic.
Anas Sarwar makes his biggest political gamble - but can it pay off?
The call for Sir Keir Starmer to resign is a defining moment in Sarwar's leadership of Scottish Labour.

If she doesn't want to answer questions then I would have her thrown into the deepest, darkest hole that I could find in the largest Supermax prison available.

She should never been released.

How dare she try to bargain her way out of prison!

@enterprisesplain.bsky.social Evening guys, got another Rikermendation for you.
'The Wrecking Crew' on Prime is a decent watch. There are a few bits of violence that'll make you wince but for an action movie it's a compelling watch.
Also, I would avoid 'The Seven Dials' on Netflix. It's not so good.
