Just clearing out the loft, and found these Scottish classics, all bought around UK...

@mdf200 What about Their Wullie’s Wedding to Bone-idle Kate.

[John @CandyBarXpress]

@BBCScotlandNews @BBCScotland - is this correct?

[MSM Monitor @msm_monitor]

Reporting Scotland said the Scottish Green inquiry amendment is calling for "a broader investigation into political party finances."

They then cut off Ross Greer as he was about to explain exactly what the amendment was calling for.

BBC Scotland is trying to suppress the amendment because it threatens to destroy the required news narrative. We'll be tuning into Radio Scotland Breakfast tomorrow to see if the programme mentions the amendment and explains it clearly.

@BBCScotlandNews - care to comment.

[MSM Monitor @msm_monitor]

Three huge Scottish stories from the last seven days that BBC Scotland either refused to report or quickly killed.

Labour's £600m PFI legacy bill
Douglas Alexander/Peter Mandelson
Renewable projects £1bn connection charge

BBC Scotland reporters *must* wonder about this surely?

[John @CandyBarXpress]

Is this true…

I had no idea about this. 😡

[Douglas Turner @DubhglasTurner]

Fascinating that Tory MSP Rachel Hamilton should demand that Nicola Sturgeon should be charged for offences relating to Peter Murrell. She has been investigated and found innocent. But the irony is that Hamilton was fined £52k for pocketing employees’ pension contributions.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Tony Blair thinks the answer to this country’s problems is AI, welfare cuts and endless spending on war.

Who benefits? Arms companies and tech billionaires.

Once again, Blair is wrong. The answer is a redistribution of wealth and power and the relentless search for peace.

@yanisvaroufakis Was his first position, post-PM, not as a ‘Consultant’ at The Royal Bank of Scotland, for which he was paid £5m/yr?

[MSM Monitor @msm_monitor]

Anyone recall this scandal dominating the headlines? Yes, Macaskill doesn't have the profile of Murrell, but the former Tory candidate laundered £200,000 through Scottish Tory accounts and bank accounts of ex-wives.

@Sachk0 @sked21 @BarryAnderson_ @BrianMacWriter That’s because it’s the closest he’s ever got, and likely to ever get, to winning something.

That’s it, that’s all it is.

Nothing more, but definitely, something less…an SPFL Winner’s Medal.

Dear @Keir_Starmer
The Scottish Parliament has passed a mandate to ask Westminster to devolve the powers required to hold a Scottish independence referendum.
We the people of Scotland wish democracy to be upheld with the immediate powers transfered.

Please RT if you agree.

[MSM Monitor @msm_monitor]

The original concerns about SNP finances weren't that people thought Murrell was embezzling hundreds of thousands for his own personal use, it was that £600,000 raised for an Indyref had been used to pay for an election campaign.

The claim made by Joanna Cherry that Murrell could have been "nipped in the bud" is risible given he'd been at it since 2010 under Salmond. Moreover, expert auditors never noticed plus it took specialist forensic accountants five years to uncover his deceit.

Embezzlement is not unusual and can be difficult to spot as was the case for Scottish Labour in 2004.

@rosscolquhoun For this to be relevant, do an analysis of all decisions over the course of the whole season. Including the ones that were missed by the on-field referee, and then ignored by the off-field VAR team.

[John @CandyBarXpress]

@YvetteCooperMP @SangitaMyska Wow!
You appear to have a newfound moral conscience.
Better late, than never.

@maroonajambo Football is largely all about opinions, Andy.

Football without opinions, is nothing!

[John @CandyBarXpress]

@maroonajambo It’s quite an embarrassment of a stadium, now. The rebuild was a hotch-potch, quick fix and now lags way behind most modern stadia.

The cost of a new rebuild, fit for purpose, would be too great for the SFA even with Government support.

[John @CandyBarXpress]

@JordanMurphy_25 Makes his form in all the games before that even more puzzling. But, what’s done, is done. On to the final.
