Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library was the best contribution to child literacy ever made by a celebrity. Our paths crossed once, in the 90s, backstage at a talk show, and I was completely tongue-tied and starstruck. RIP Dolly. You were a complete, irreplaceable one-off.
Dress however you please.
Call yourself whatever you like.
Sleep with any consenting adult who’ll have you.
Live your best life in peace and security.
But force women out of their jobs for stating that sex is real?

I have witnessed this club go from doubters to believers, and from believers to champions. It took hard work and I always did everything I could to help the club get there. Nothing makes me prouder than that.
Us crumbling to yet another defeat this season was very painful and not what our fans deserve. I want to see Liverpool go back to being the heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear and back to being a team that wins trophies. That is the football I know how to play and that is the identity that needs to be recovered and kept for good. It cannot be negotiable and everyone that joins this club should adapt to it.
Winning some games here and there is not what Liverpool should be about. All teams win games.
Liverpool will always be a club that means a great deal to me and to my family. I want to see it succeed for long after I have moved on.
As I’ve always said, qualifying to next season’s Champions League is the bare minimum and I will do everything I can to make that happen.
“British” is not an identity but a colonial construction, invented by the English colonial state to absorb and control Scotland as a colony. Before Scotland, Ireland with the same fake UK term. The method is the same. Rename the colonised, then deny the crime.
“British” has always meant English power wearing other peoples’ skins.
That's why the English Prime Minister never stops talking about whisky. Whisky is not culture to him. It's cover. A prop in a long-running deception designed to reassure the world that Scotland is not a colony, that England is merely a benign partner, that annexation never happened.
This lie is absolutely deliberate.
The English state formally told the United Nations and the international community that “Scotland entered a voluntary union and is not a dependency.” That statement was false when made and remains false today. It was issued to block decolonisation scrutiny and to shield England from international law.
That shield is now collapsing, including in China.
Annexation and territorial alienation are proven.
They are documented, legally argued, and established by Liberation Scotland, Scotland’s UN-facing liberation movement, with Professor Robert Black KC, Scotland’s foremost authority on Scots law.
The legal consequence is unavoidable:
England’s presence in Scotland is colonisation so its control and presence are illegal. Its extraction is complete plunder.
Under international law, this is an erga omnes violation. A crime not merely against Scotland, but against humanity itself. Every state has standing and responsibility here.
England is not “governing” Scotland.
England is stripping Scotland.
What is being stolen?
– North Sea oil and gas revenues
– Renewable energy wealth
– Fisheries and maritime resources
– Land and water
– Taxation and fiscal sovereignty
– Industrial capacity
– Strategic territory
– Cultural capital
– International representation
– And yes, whisky, monetised globally while Scotland remains politically captive
The whisky speeches are theatre just like the flags are camouflage and the fake smiles are colonial.
You do not celebrate a people you are exploiting and toast a nation you are occupying.
You do not talk about whisky when you are standing on stolen ground.
Colonial denial always ends the same way: exposure.
The lie is over and the law is engaged.
Decolonisation has begun.
Scotland is not British.
Scotland is colonised. It's an English colony.
Colonisation, once proven, must end. Scotland's liberation is coming.
