Aye but "nae Scotland nae Party" shite while the game has been run by Celtic placemen like Mulraney, Maxwell & Doncaster - low level ambition except for providing an annual platform for one club to keep getting handed millions of Champions League money

Last summer a driver crashed into this ladys house. He was in a stolen car, uninsured and going 70mph in a 30mph area. Luckily her and her family weren't home at the time. They had to move out for over 6mnths & live in a hotel whilst her home was repaired through her house insurance. She's just been informed by GMP that there will be no further action against the driver & he faces no charges....how is that right? So you can go to jail for 2 or 3yrs for a social media post but if u go out & steal a car & drive it at high speed without insurance & crash it into a family home, not knowing if anyone is in & you dont face any charges whatsoever 🤷‍♀️🤬

It’s only right that the man who will win the title for Celtic has a statue in his name. Congratulations John Beaton😂

Those who questioned the integrity of Sam Nicholson owe the boy an apology.

The @MotherwellFC player swore on his kids life that the ball didn’t strike his hand.

This new video clip is the clearest evidence of that.

I’m looking at you @shebahn @chris_sutton73

The Green Party has complained about this cartoon of Zack Polanski by the The Times.

They’re deeply unhappy with it. Whatever you do, do not repost!

This is hilarious and so incredibly accurate!

I am an eternal optimist but I’m also a realist so as we trundle towards the Scottish elections and all the freebies on offer from our politicians the ask is – how are you going to pay for them?

Speaking of politicians, I am reminded of a brilliant episode of The Thick of It entitled ‘Rise of the Nutters’ – a satire on inept politicians making stupid policies

Armando Iannucci, a good Scotsman said he couldn’t write any more political satire as the real-life situation couldn’t be funnier; I would add it couldn’t be scarier.

Is it just me or are more nutters hoping to get elected into public office, and not just in Scotland but globally?

We need to boost our economy and go for growth while attracting the very best into public office. Here are some quick wins for our politicians…

- Housing: Fast track planning, and Section 75 redesign

- Quangos bonfire: Reduce the red tape, bureaucracy and duplication

- Hospitality and retail: Freeze the rates system

- Tax: Level the tax system with England

- Oil & gas: Bring forward the Energy Profits Levy, and open up new licenses to explore our North Sea

- Business support: Streamline assistance through a one-stop shop

And once elected engage with business – nearly every serious business person I speak to it is “Country first, Politics second”. Take advantage and partner with business; make policies based on facts…

Scotland should be booming — why does it feel like it’s going bust?

Remembering the sublime genius, Maurice Cole, AKA Kenny Everett, who passed away on this day in 1995.

Here he is in a very famous sketch alongside his friend and regular co-star, Billy Connolly, that took almost a day to record. Why? Well, because they hadn't hired any extras for the sketch they roped in some music hall performers who were recording in the studio next door and they all appeared in costume, much to the amusement of Kenny and Billy. The punchline was reached eventually, but they decided to include the outtakes.

God bless Cuddly Ken x

There are 22 live police investigations into the SNP.

Twenty two! Let that sink in.

They are not so much a political party as an organised criminal empire.

🖤Remembering Sir Stanley Matthews, born #OTD in 1915. The 1st ever Ballon d'or winner played twice for #Rangers while serving as Corporal in the RAF during WW2. He won the Merchants Cup in a 3-0 win over Partick Thistle in 1941 and played in a 1-0 Ibrox win over Morton in 1940.

[The Rangers Archives @OldRangersVideo]

Remembering Tom Forsyth, born in Glasgow on 23 January 1949. His competitive debut for @RangersFC was v Motherwell on 14 October 1972 and he made 326 comp apps, scoring 5 goals. Tom left the club in 1982
Here is Tam discussing his best ever goal.

Some Rory Hamilton slander on here. He's the best we have in Scotland and have always found him impartial so 👇🏻

The SNP lost in the Supreme Court.
They were ordered to pay costs.
They still haven’t paid.

This isn’t incompetence. It’s spiteful abuse of state power — punish the women who embarrassed them and hope they run out of cash before the next fight.

[Agent P @AgentP22]

Quite the U-turn from Stephen Flynn on Donald Trump.

Funny what the prospect of a World Cup visa does to a man’s principles.

😂😂😂😂😂

[Agent P @AgentP22]

Two absolute rockets blaming “the British state” for devolved powers that the SNP Scottish government have controlled for 18 years.

And these people want independence?

Embarrassing.

Lol 😆 some will get it! Hmm 😒 🤔?¿
