The Tartan Army Sunshine Appeal @TASA1999 have made donations to local Children’s charities for the last 119 consecutive Scotland away games.

If you’re interested in the amazing work they do please follow them on their social media channels and consider buying some of their merch.

More than a thousand Scotland supporters hired a fleet of yellow school buses to take them to Boston Stadium for the World Cup on Saturday.

It started as a novel way to save money on transport, but the yellow school bus has become a symbol of the Tartan Army.

"No existe un país que se haya hecho rico a través de políticas liberales. Cuando digo esto, la gente dice: pero ¿qué pasa con países como Singapur? Bueno, déjenme decirles sobre Singapur. Tienen una política de libre comercio y actitud acogedora hacia inversores extranjeros. Pero el 90% de la tierra en Singapur pertenece al gobierno. El 85% de la vivienda es provista por el gobierno a través de su corporación de vivienda, y más del 20% del PBI es producido por empresas estatales. Y dicen: Singapur tiene bajos impuestos. Sí, tal vez tiene una alícuota máxima del 24%. Pero también tiene un esquema de ahorro forzoso llamado Central Provident Fund, que obliga a la gente a ahorrar el 30% de sus ingresos y usarlo solo para salud, educación y jubilación. Así que los que ganan más en Singapur no controlan el 60% de sus ingresos. Porque el 20% va a impuestos, el 37% va a esta cuenta personalizada pero de ahorro forzoso. Entonces, incluso Singapur no es una economía liberal (...) Esta idea de que bajos impuestos y baja regulación es el camino a la prosperidad es absurda".

@vintagemapstore Good map, you could highlight the med over the top because that's the bits of North America no one lives in.

Prescriptions in England under Labour = £9.90 per item. 0% increase this year (cost in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿remains at £9.90 per item). The Alex Salmond government introduced free prescriptions in 2011 & the increase since then has been 0%. Cost per item 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 = £0.00. Let’s move on to student fees…

I urge the return of the Book of Deer to Scotland from Cambridge University. This nearly 1,000-year-old manuscript, Scotland's oldest surviving, is written in Gaelic and Latin, with Scots Gaelic texts detailing the founding of the Deer monastery by St. Columba.
