Is the Scottish independence conundrum solved by holding a referendum on whether Scotland should use its powers under the Brexit Withdrawl (Scotland) Act to align all applicable Scots law with EU law?

Would not be challengeable.

Would flush out if Scotland really is pro EU.

Now that Raynor is off the hook (after a few months' investigation), I guess the years Sturgeon has had to wait just proves that scottish police are rubbish. Is that the lesson?

Then there were also the death camps and mass graves from German occupied Namibia - the Herero genocide. No one ever talks about German colonization in Africa when discussing the 3rd Reich and the Holocaust. And we should.

I'm sure thst unless you follow Jewish media you have seen absolutely nothing about this but today a group of Isreali and US Rabbis were arrested at the Gaza border for demonstrating while attempting to bring a shipment of food to Palestinians. They are part of the group Rabbis for Ceasefire.

A long shot but wtf.

When I was photographing birds on the empty beach south of Barcelona's airport, this magnificent gentleman waved to me, pointed to himself, and immediately struck a pose. I fired off this frame, we shared a laugh from 50m, and went on our ways.

I'd love to get it to him.
