If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, it's just possible you haven't grasped the situation.
Brexit is like knocking back a dram of the best single malt scotch whisky, only to get a mouthful of stale urine.

I live in Wales and today received my Join Us letter from Reform UK, complete with SAE which I posted back to them, immediately, empty. If every other person in Wales did this, Reform would spend over £1.5 million on postage. Not sorry. Join me Cymru.

Let's be clear, before with oil, now with renewable energy, next with water, we are being pickpocketed by Westminster, whilst "Scottish" Labour, Tory, Lib Dim and Deform provide the diversion.
See all those green circles? That's Scottish on- and off-shore wind generation, right now.

We generate more than we need. It's the cheapest way to generate electricity. And yet Westminster ensures that Scotland has amongst the highest energy prices in the UK/Europe.

Early 80s, I left high school too early, but I landed an apprenticeship in an architectural drawing office. Couple of years into that l visited the Science Museum in London & saw a demonstration of computer aided drawing & knew immediately my career choice was as dead as disco.

Then a stranger...
This is great.

I moved to NYC because I was in a band. I opened the Village Voice in my sublet studio apartment looking for a day job. As an English Major, Philosophy Minor, I felt qualified for a position as a bicycle messenger (archaic early 1990s profession). The bicycle messenger place, alas
I was 27, tired of being poor as hell and hated my customer service rep job. I was in my notice period, told a customer I didn't hate it was my last time coming by. He asked what I was going to do next an I said I hadn't a clue. He asked if I ever thought about welding and the rest is history.

Hard to believe our hand-painted shopfront was finished a year ago! Joe nailed it, still looking brand new. We kept the old butcher’s sign underneath, another layer of the street’s history. Now, a new place to meet, chat & discover tees, books, mags & vinyl. Open 12–5pm ✌️

Eh? Scandal?

In Glasgow, your mum's best friend is also yer unofficial auntie.
i cannot believe that “mamdani calls a close adult relative an ‘aunt’ even if they are not literally their parent’s sister” is what counts as a “scandal” these days

Make no mistake about this. Knowing what we know about the Genocide in Palestine, if you still intend to vote Labour, Tory or Reform you are part of it, you are complicit, you are guilty.

There’s no excuses anymore.

Due to the injury crisis in the first team, the veteran demonstrates again why he can be relied upon, even with that creaky knee, scoring another deflected goal.

I'm not remotely religious, but acknowledge that spirituality is fundamental to people's lives, and everyone should be free to believe in whatever or whomever they need, and wherever they need to.

This is just depressing from the land of the free.

A small story that tells a bigger tale.
Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

Unlike Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales -

England doesn’t have a devolved parliament.

England doesn’t have a Secretary of State in a “territorial office”.

England controls its own finances.

England retains and controls 100% of its tax revenue.

England can do what it wants.

Profits in the UK are so high that they could double the wages of every single person on £80,000 or less and still make a profit.

But of course it's immigrants ripping you off.

Of course it is.
