Loving Bluesky but quietly wishing people would be more interactive instead of just reposting posts from others. Go on, if a post is worth reposting it is worthy of a comment too.

Why does the BBC choose to paint this as "Bus companies will walk away from this penniless and destitute" Scotgov already spends £550m / year on concessionary travel and support for Bus companies, which flows into these companies and their shareholders pockets. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

bbc.co.ukMcGill's accuse Swinney of behaving like a dictator over bus plansThe first minister outlined plans to bring buses under public control during his speech at the SNP conference.

One day stabbing boats and yelling "Now you try and take that back to France. You traitors!" to the bemused French sailor who boarded the dingy to disable the still running engine. Another day sobbing pathetically for the judge. Bring me the tiny violin, I feel a tune coming on.

BBC hypocrisy on full display again today. Thousands marched in Edinburgh over the weekend for Independence - not a peep. But breathless reporting of a couple of hundred masked neanderthals gets wall to wall coverage?

Could someone please make me a version of google earth where every single town, village, city, lake,river and mountain in the US is called "Epstein Files"?

I'm posting this video every day so we NEVER forget what insurrectionist Donald Trump did on J6 Instead of accepting defeat and honoring the peaceful transfer of power, Trump unleashed a deadly mob on the U.S. Capitol in a last-ditch attempt to stay in power THIS is what an insurrection looks like

The combined agencies of British anti-terrorist police seem to think an anti-genocide group planning a peaceful protest is more dangerous and TERRIFYING than far right leaders inciting & publishing plans for actual riots "Arrest the shit stirring bastards now....." via We Demand UK #FarageRiots

From facebook. If we had the same voting system as Westminster we would have 60 SNP 4 tories 4 Lib Dem 2 labour 2 greens. So, when Unionists start talking about majorities it's to muddy the waters. Look at the numbers above and tell me that's not a mandate for a referendum.

Labour : Vote for change! Also Labour: Brings back the crusty old dinosaurs to run the country that we voted out of office half a generation ago. Zombie government or what?

I don't suppose there is any point in asking for a pensioners box is there? Or even pensions given when we were told they would be given instead of the current Westminster system of " let's just move the goalposts and hope you die before you can collect it".

The SNP will give every child a school bag filled with books, stationery and practical support for that big first step. Building on the Baby Box, it’s about ensuring every child has the best possible start in life. On May 7th, make it both votes SNP for a government that's on your side.
