Today's stupid remark, Italy and the USA have been great friends since the days of ancient Rome.
The Italian translator is confused as to how to translate that without making all of Italy laugh at this fool.

Why on EARTH is Scotland not Independent?
England uses more electricity than it produces, yet manages to export 5.1 TWh to Europe.
Scotland produces more electricity than it uses and transfers 19TWh to England.
This 'export' appears as income to England, but they are re-selling electricity from Scotland!

"In order to get Scottish independence, the pro-independence parties are going to have to be much more assertive, confrontational even, and ditch the pretence that we are dealing with principled opponents who play by the established rules."

Institutional disobedience could be the way forward for independence
There’s a very interesting and important article in The National this Sunday by the much respected writer and commentator Neal Ascherson about charting a way forward for the independence camp…

Having voted to axe the winter fuel payment, Labour in Scotland now want a vote on bringing back a means tested version so they can take credit for 'reinstating' the payment. Sarwar's opportunistic hypocrisy is breath taking. As always, it's about what's good for the Labour party.

BREAKING: Sir Keir Starmer has explained that he sadly can't nationalise water and energy, give you those workers' rights he promised, or even the green new deal. Best he can do is nuclear war with Russia, is that okay? x

There are very few far right accounts on BlueSky.
So if you block the likes of Nigel Farage, Tommy Robinson, Laurence Fox, GB News etc. as soon as they show up, they'll find it very hard to gain traction.
(They're counting on the network effect of YOUR outrage. Don't give them the satisfaction.)

An interesting old bit of graffiti we uncovered yesterday in the old walled garden of the Dryfeholm Manor House Lockerbie, Someone called Alex Currie or Corrie 1917 a gardener?.. or a young soldier recovering from something?… the long gone House was a hospital for soldiers during the First World War

My first pic on Bluesky.. the view from my back garden yesterday morning, the old oak tree is where Covenanters used to meet, it’s in the Kirkmahoe parish, South west Scotland 🏴
