saw a woman in a 'make scotland great again' hat. unclear if she's a weirdo trump fan or a scottish nationalist? that's right, it's unclear if she's a fan of small minded provincialism with no understanding of fiscal and economic reality or if she's a supporter of donal.. [SHOTS RING OUT]

I understand that the jury in the Filton trial have refused to convict any of the defendants of any crime, despite some of them admitting in court that they smashed up Israeli-made drones.
