@Mr_Scott_Cheggs Yup, used to live there, great place. Much friendlier than the racist bits of England.

@HunterNorrie One reason is that Scotland has not invested properly in container ports so far too much stuff is lorried in from Southampton or Felixstowe.

[Alan Patterson @AlanJPatterson]

@timmckane What never gets said is that Ulster was always a place of refuge - Gallowglass, Covenanter, Hugenots, Moravians .... Too many people just want to control small communities, that's getting diluted and it's a very good thing.

[Alan Patterson @AlanJPatterson]

@J4m35c4mpb3ll I think we should only let people into Scotland and Northern Ireland who can actually pronounce the letter R.

@implausibleblog There is only going to be a limited quota of beef going in each direction so it'll probably be top end stuff - free ranched Texas longhorn not the maximum cruelty maximum drugs Kansas City feedlot stuff, which nobody in the UK will want.

[Alan Patterson @AlanJPatterson]

So Starmer has done a deal with the US to lower tariffs on... stuff the UK won't buy. Like tasteless beef, and cars that don't fit into our car parks. Clever.

@BladeoftheS Refugees have to leave the country they live in otherwise they are probably going to get killed. They have skills and it is utter madness stopping them working when we give them proper shelter in this country.

@KevinPMeagher Doesn't anyone tell this guy that if he's saying he has the power and knowledge of God he's committing blasphemy?

[Alan Patterson @AlanJPatterson]

@IndyAsapScot Um, the lazy sods can't even build a pipeline to Keilder water (which is underused) so going another 150 miles to Loch Katrine simply isn't going to happen.

[Alan Patterson @AlanJPatterson]

@CharlieCurrie12 No it wouldn't because you'd have a load of Protestant despots and drug dealers terrorising the population. Which would be very small because anyone normal would clear out.

@VigilantFox What he's done is what the EU did 25 years ago. For good reason.

[Alan Patterson @AlanJPatterson]

@Mr_Scott_Cheggs Move out of England so that you have a choice.

[Alan Patterson @AlanJPatterson]

@DarranMarshall Someone should tell these eejits it IS their native language .. https://t.co/dIHYeN3XIB

[Alan Patterson @AlanJPatterson]

What nobody seems to be asking about US tariffs is what they'll be spent on. They'll boost federal income at the time DOGE is cutting back on federal spending. Where will they spend the tariffs?

[Alan Patterson @AlanJPatterson]

@squinteratn I don't think anything will keep the TUV happy. Andytown Arena? M1 View Park? Don't see it.

[Alan Patterson @AlanJPatterson]

@sean_murray1 It's all stupid anyway. Most of us used to speak the language. Rev Neilson said you had to speak Irish to understand people, this is Presbyterians in the place Jim McAllister grew up in (and 2 miles away where my Dad, lifelong Presbyterian) was born. https://t.co/dIHYeN3XIB

@TonyEvans92a @Tesco I don't know about Tesco but the same thing happened to me in a Lidl (I was 10 minutes over time), I complained to them and got a refund straight away.

[Alan Patterson @AlanJPatterson]

@AuldHowthGun Don't you know that Ulster was created by God in 1690 with King Billy on a white horse landing on Carrick beach with Jesus by his side?

[Alan Patterson @AlanJPatterson]

@SetantaD Whatever greedy ministers and drug dealing hallions want to foist on people they can think they can push around.

[Alan Patterson @AlanJPatterson]

@J4m35c4mpb3ll I did the maths on this myself - per capita GDP is higher in Scotland than most of the UK. London and SE England are top, then Scotland & East Mids of England. House prices are lower but that's just because there's a lot more available land.
