Left leaning Irishman in Scotland (for the time being).
Grrr. More bloody doctors strikes today. Ah. Wait. I live in Scotland. Our zero doctors strike streak continues. I wonder why that is 🤔.
No doubt BBC Scotland will be all over this today with a positive slant for the SG. 🙄

Thoughts and prayers with Reform voters today who've found out that the only person from an immigrant background involved in the train stabbings was the hero staff member who tried to protect others.

Thoughts and prayers with Nigel Farage this morning having found out the mass stabbing incident wasn't perpetrated by asylum seekers.

Why isn't there any UK coverage of Farage being eviscerated by that US senate committee member yesterday? Surely that's big culture war news?

One of JKRowling's flying monkeys is arrested for being a bigot encouraging violence against trans women and Starmer tells Police off. 500 good people arrested for peacefully protesting Israeli genocide and Starmer praises Police 🤔. Labour - there isn't a bigoted viewpoint they won't pander to.

GERS revenue figures decrease and it's all due to terrible SNP policies. GERS revenue figures increase and suddenly it's all due to the "collective economic strength of the UK". FFS 🙄

Disgraceful that antiwar activists were able to penetrate an RAF airbase and damage planes. What if they'd been terrorists and had stolen the aircraft to use them as part of an operation targeting innocent civilians in, say, the Middle East? Doesn't bear thinking about.

I wonder why Trump didn't ambush Netanyahu at the White House with some of the tons of documented, verified reports of state and settler murder of Palestinians and the stealing of their land, or invite a few Palestinians to present their views. 🤔

The Gammons have outdone themselves. They're getting riled by the idea of a gender reveal for Peppa Pig, a bloody cartoon character 🙄. Bonkers.

In Greenland all healthcare is free, mothers are entitled to 14 weeks of maternity leave, fathers to 3 weeks paternity leave, workers to 5 weeks paid holiday leave annually. Minimum wage is $18.50 per hr. There are no tuition fees for students. No wonder they don't want to be part of Trump's empire.

Not a positive 1st post but just paid £16 single for off peak train to Glasgow from Edinburgh. Picking up my injured GF who was hit by hit and run driver last night. Reading on train that banks are putting up mortgage rates despite rate drop. Regulator says ok. I've had enough. France, here we come.
