It’s clear to anyone paying attention that Farage gets an easy ride from the media. They give him as much airtime as he wants but never hold him to account for the damage he’s done.

So much of what’s broken in Britain is thanks to Nigel Farage.

A quick fire Flood double was added to by a Brash goal in a dominant first half. When a second half Thistle resurgence was quelled by a Gallagher penalty save a calm Jones finish minutes from time capped a fine performance.

Our new President Trevor Longhurst becomes only the sixth person to hold the position, the longest serving of which was Jim Robertson who held the post for 27 years before Ian McGinty followed him for a further 12 years and oversaw the transition from Junior to Senior football.

Coverage of idiots claiming ‘betrayal’ or ‘surrender’ isn’t just bad journalism, it’s a dereliction of our duty to explain things. I’d actually forgotten just how bad it got but here we are, straight back to treating liars & spivs like authorities of equal weight to experts & honest brokers.

Remember the heady days when ‘Turkey joining the EU’ and ‘We’ll be forced to join an EU army’ were used to frighten people into voting to isolate ourselves and make ourselves infinitely more vulnerable. How Putin must have laughed at our idiocy.

A terrific second half come back that started with a stunning Daryl Meikle strike from some twenty yards culminated when captain James Mildren knocked home at the back post after the hosts couldn’t clear a corner kick.

Today is an object lesson in the radicalisation of the British right-wing press. Britain is being disparaged and insulted by a foreign far-right conspiracy theorist. But the Mail, the Express, the Telegraph and even the Times choose focus their criticisism on the British prime minister instead.

With Farage back on Question Time last night...

...here is your reminder that Farage was on BBCQT a record-breaking 35 times before he became an MP.

And, further, that the panellist selection on BBCQT has been heavily slanted to right-wing think tanks and commentators over the years.

Just a reminder of what trade deals “with the rest of the world” have done for us compared with what we have lost and continue to lose…

A poor and irresponsible government is one that deliberately fails to acknowledge the harm that is being inflicted upon us and refuses to rectify previous mistakes that, by reversing them, would be of enormous benefit to all of us.
In fact, it’s a gross dereliction of duty.
The Bank of England governor says Brexit has undermined the UK economy. Is the Government now going to listen?

Searched “old firm” rather than oldfirm for @oldfirmfacts.bsky.social and found nothing. A slight “there is no old firm” klaxon.
