You’ve seen the signs: ‘Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted’. They lie. In the UK ‘trespass’ is a civil offence, not a criminal one. You cannot face prosecution simply for being on someone’s land, off a designated Right of Way, open access land, or land where bylaws permit access, without permission.

Nigel Farage has spent £1m taking out adverts in the papers to distract from the Nathan Gill Russian bribe scandal.
We can't let him buy himself out of this. We need an investigation into Russian influence in our politics.

Time to boycott ALL Waterstones! Support independent book shops! Please share. Thank you
This is dreadful. Independent bookshops need our support more than ever. Waterstones has enough bookshops in Edinburgh without moving next to a wonderful independent and stealing their business.
We need your help.
@waterstones.bsky.social, without any direct communication with us, will be opening their 6th Edinburgh branch less than 100 metres from our front door at the Foot of the Walk in Leith.

I sense this is wrong on 2 fronts.
1. Discrimination on ground of religion.
2. Who would be offended? Christians believe in the Devil don’t they?

Is it revenge for the banning of Christmas? It is, isn't it. We haven't seen this kind of assertiveness from our state-mandated religion since a church hall in Barnstaple banned yoga as incompatible with the faith!
