Grumpy but hopeful. Scottish. New Town boy but island dweller. Photography, boats, photos of boats. Often wrong. Some bad words. I don’t agree with everyone I follow.

Mariella Frostrup is a top guest to have on QT. #bbcqt

I can't be bothered with the Royal Family sycophancy. #bbcqt

Mariella Frostrup makes a very good point. Folks didn't want to leave their own countries until we got involved in wars with them and exploiting their resources. The UK, along with others in the EU, and the USA, created a huge amount of this problem. #bbcqt

Jess Phillips seems a decent sort to me. I reckon she’s doing her best to navigate this grooming gang enquiry and I wouldn’t want to be in her shoes. Resigning won’t make anything better, but she’d probably enjoy some other work more. #poisonedchalice

This seems harsh (especially in light with what the privatised water companies get away with). 🤷🏼‍♂️

Unbelievable that BBC Scotland can’t get Head of the organisation, Hayley Valentine, to appear on #ReportingScotland to respond to their own, important, survey.

Question: When will the BBC, ITV, etc get access to Gaza now that a ceasefire has been declared? Why is Israel still controlling access? #c4news
October 15, 2025 at 7:27 AM
Israel withholds aid to Gaza because the bodies of some hostages haven’t yet been returned. Abhorrent. I’ll bet they’re under tons of rubble, caused by Israeli bombing.

Why can’t the BBC get into Gaza now? Surely Israel doesn’t control Palestine any more? #BBCNews

I feel sorry for the Israeli families that haven’t had the bodies of their loved ones back. I’m also certain that many of them lie under the rubble of Palestinian buildings which were completely destroyed by Israel. Have you seen the state of the place? #c4news

Trump may have made this happen. Maybe only he could. But it’s been clear for a while that global opinion has been turning against Israel for a while now. #c4news

You see what is happening in the USA.

That will happen in the UK if Nigel Farage becomes PM.

Because he is Donald Trump's puppet and Nigel Farage will sell the UK to him straight away.

It’s pretty galling when a website accepts your order, stating that delivery is free, and then a human contacts you and tells you that delivery to your postcode (which was entered correctly at the time) will be an extra £45. Just the latest in a long line of similar experiences!

Robert Jenrick wants someone in government to pick and choose judges. Isn’t that what Trump is doing in the USA? How’s that going?

Protesting the actions of the Israeli government and the UK government’s complicity in the war against Palestine is not antisemitic or a terrorist action and should not be taken as such. Jeez.
