A moody climb up Grin Low, and there it stands: Solomon’s Temple, keeping watch over Buxton.

Just a modest Victorian folly, built on ancient ground, yet it somehow makes the whole hill feel alive with stories. There’s something quietly magical about this place when the clouds are putting on a show and the light cuts through like that. A small reward for the legs, and a big one for the soul!

Buxton, in the heart of the Peak District, you never fail to lift the spirit. ❤️

Then @DC_Police are in error

There is no divesting abandonment in English law. So the grave goods remain your property @higgyboson

There are a range of offences that @@DC_POLICE need to consider and the property must be returned

This is also completely wrong.

They seem to revel in making the lives of hard-working people more difficult at every turn.

@GBNEWS Hospitality employs over 2 million people and supports communities across the country. Higher taxes doesn’t create growth. Labour’s tax raids are destroying jobs and local businesses.

[PeterSweden @PeterSweden7]

A new law in Sweden just came into effect.

Staff working within elderly care must now be able to speak Swedish.

Obviously, this should have been the standard.

WHY WASN'T THIS REQUIRED BEFORE???

This is what happens when defence is treated as a political talking point rather than a national priority.

[Ðåñ @ForasureX]

@ZiaYusufUK Yes. Another clear example of Labour trying to look tough on a serious issue. Their announcement feels like a reactive, half-measure.

[Leo Kearse - see me on tour! Links in bio @LeoKearse]

Saddened to hear of the death of Paul Sneddon, aka Vlad McTavish. He was a genuinely lovely guy, a rarity in an industry fuelled by ego, narcissism, grasping Machiavellianism, desperate arse licking and spiteful envy. He was always on the road - we did Australia, Singapore together - having a great time. Scottish comedy will be a worse place without him. It's all fat pretend-gay communists now.

Another day, more delays @Se_Railway
Another meeting missed.
I've seen the excuse given as a broken down train at Grove Park/Hither Green blocking the line earlier this morning.
That's an excuse. The reason, and I hazard a guess, is poor rolling-stock maintenance.
Similarly the all too common “Signalling problems” is surely rooted in cyclical maintenance failure by @networkrail
Once it all becomes #GreatBritishRail , @hmtreasury will be in control and the needs of the railway will be sacrificed on the altar of other spending demands.
#Backtothe70s.
Perhaps they can use a Marc Bolan voice for the announcements.

[Ðåñ @ForasureX]

@DrChrisParry They’re not being fully honest about what their spending increases actually deliver in real military capability. They’re missing their own targets (3% by 2030). There’s a growing “black hole” narrative makes them look either incompetent or dishonest on the numbers! 🤡

[Ðåñ @ForasureX]

The problem isn’t just that Labour has a defence spending black hole. The deeper problem is that they refuse to be honest with the British people about what defence spending actually delivers.

And why would she now do that ?…

Are the left finally admitting that we were 100% right of the danger ?

Looks that way.

They beat a 16 year old boy half blind and threw him in the street to die.

The man who stopped for him wasn't a lawyer, a lord or a hero. He was a government clerk. And he ended up cracking slavery wide open. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

The boy was Jonathan Strong. The clerk was Granville Sharp. In 1765 Sharp and his surgeon brother nursed the boy back from the edge.

Two years on, the man who owned Strong saw him well again and sold him to a Jamaica planter for 30 pounds. The law was meant to be on the owner's side. The whole slave trade leaned on one legal opinion, that a slave was property, in England as anywhere.

Sharp had no answer. So he taught himself the law of England, book by book, night after night, until he found the crack. That opinion had never been a ruling. No court had ever decided it. It was a guess, written over dinner. A bluff.

So he called it. Strong walked free. The owner challenged Sharp to a duel, and Sharp told him to try it in court instead.

And the argument this clerk built in his spare room stood, 7 years later, behind the ruling that slavery was too odious for English soil.

Strong never saw it. He died in 1773. But the clerk who would not walk past him had started everything.

You were taught Parliament freed the slaves. You were never taught the clerk who really started it. That is the Britain worth being proud of, and the history we dig out, the Britons the textbooks left out.

We don’t need another overpaid underachiever.

We need our civil servants and institutions to do the jobs for which they are well paid and rewarded.

[Tony McGuire @tmcgvideo]

A fair few people - including me - have asked to join Scots Active at night to see a patrol first hand. Unfortunately it’s quite clear Mark did not.

Using quotes from my story is one thing, but using them in lieu of original quotes to mask the lack of balance to this story is something quite different.

Pic of Darren not attributed. No right of reply. No evidence for most of the accusations made in the story and a quote from a Scottish Labour MSP on seemingly unrelated incidents.

I fear this is a lot of unevidenced presumptions loosely threaded together while completely avoiding the reality of Glasgow city streets felt by anyone who walks them.

Yes we should be handling the city’s problems in a more civilised manner and the impact these groups has is negligible - maybe even sometimes negative - but Holyrood and Police Scotland are yet to make a dent nor effectively listening to what local people are experiencing, let alone tackling the issues head on.

I’m surprised this was allowed to make the front page.
