While still a newbie here, will do my one & only “please follow me” request

If you believe in Scottish/Welsh independence, a fairer society overall, the NHS, EU

And oppose the genocide in Gaza, the invasion of Ukraine, the rise of the right/fascism…

Give me a wee follow

Community is everything!

Wes Streeting has received £225k from private healthcare donors in the past year and I just don't think my morals could be bought for the price of half a London flat. I don't know if I have a number that would make me sell my country's health service down the river but Wes and I are different.

The bigger problem is that Streeting will, hard as it may seem to believe, be even less popular than Starmer and the Government may actually fall.

Then, the far right Farascists will seize opportunity to make the most of the chaos.

And the racists and hard of thinking likely to vote them in…

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk: “Putin has tools that can destroy the European Union as an organization, but also Europe as a cultural phenomenon.

“These tools are Russia’s fifth columns, present in every country of Europe.”

Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech — rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath?

Character isn't something you tell people about.

It's something you live.

YOUNG PEOPLE. LISTEN UP.

Today Nigel Farage said the government should cut the minimum wage for young people

...to “raise aspiration” and “boost business"

It's £10ph FFS!

Lower your pay so you’ll dream bigger

DO YOU SEE IT NOW?

Spread far & wide.

Although could never agree with his right of centre sensibilities, can’t deny he was one of the very few Tories with a shred of integrity.

So, of course they got rid of him.
Dominic Grieve’s response to Nigel Farage’s ‘let’s leave the ECHR’ stunt in parliament is spot on.

I knew Gill and Farage and the rest of the UKIP crew in the European Parliament

They were crooks and shysters to a man

They repeated Putin talking points and appeared on Russia Today

UKIP then and Reform now are both a threat to our democracy

A link to my quick TikTok review of the incredible production of ‘Miss Saigon’ on at the Edinburgh Playhouse until Saturday 1 Nov.

I have seen a lot of great musical theatre but this might be the very best of the lot. It’s an incredible show.

Grab a ticket if you can!

These contiguous posts in my timeline show how companies, both big and small, can either devote themselves to the trivial and evil or the substantive and good.

Nigel Farage's supporter who wants Ethnic Nationalism and who quotes Adolf Hitler.

We need to make it embarrassing to hold these views again, the people of the UK are NOT White Supremacists

If you enjoy musical theatre and want to support local amateur talent, get yourself along to see LAMP’s fantastic production of “Anything Goes” on at Linlithgow Academy Theatre until Saturday 25th October.

Huge fun with excellent singing and performances

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Cannot stop thinking of Palestinians returning to the rubble of their old lives, only to dig through the bodies trapped underneath. I will never, ever, forget how this genocide was not just allowed to unfold before our eyes, but emphatically supported by our Western governments.

Scotland is ready for the fresh start of independence - and today, our party has shown it’s united and determined to deliver it.

Together, we’ll put Scotland’s future where it belongs: firmly in Scotland’s hands. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Oh no, more sad news. We’ve lost yet another one of the greats. A unique and quirky talent who elevated every film she was in.

RIP Diane Keaton
