Hibs. Sometimes write about Labour and empire.

@longbangers https://t.co/e7LILuUjlK You may laugh but its happened before!

[Jack Taylor @JTaylor7062]

@post_liberal I think you're too soft on Clarke though. Marginal issues in the grand scheme of things, but his squad selection and reliance on guys like Hanley (not even a first choice at Hibs) is baffling when there are younger and better options.

[Jack Taylor @JTaylor7062]

@post_liberal Some interesting stuff in here - a lot of which I agree with. Would add: Scotland, unlike, say, Wales, has failed to produce a singularly brilliant player for some decades. There's no one who by will or skill can drag the collective across the line.

🇮🇷 Supporters of Mohammad Mosaddegh, Tehran, Iran, early 1950s.

Crowds gathered in Tehran to support Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh after he nationalized Iran's oil industry. In 1953, he was overthrown by Mohammad Reza Pahlavi in a coup backed by the United Kingdom and the United States. Mosaddegh was later placed under house arrest, where he remained until his death.

@fast_sin Fields of Athenry in the corner of the pitch wasn't it? Remember seeing them on that (Blackout) tour

I wonder if Lenin's train journey to the Finland Station would've felt less dramatic if he'd done it in a t-shirt

🚨 WATCH: Andy Burnham has just left Manchester and is set to arrive in London at 1:09pm

Spare a thought for John Slinger: defended an indefensible PM to the end and didn't even become the proverbial junior minister for paperclips

[Jack Taylor @JTaylor7062]

@post_liberal Tongue not whole in cheek: its essentially a more poetic, and certainly more socially acceptable, Ten German Bombers

[Jack Taylor @JTaylor7062]

Can't help but enjoy that Ten German Bombers, however crude, is thematically analogous with Flower Of Scotland

[Steve @CansAndBansV12]

What’s the obsession with England fans singing 10 German bombers?

🇮🇷 Iran, 1998

No one who believes that Irish families do not deserve justice should be anywhere near Labour leadership. And disgracefully smearing those families is of a part with the arrogance that made the Brits feel they were untouchable.

Good few months for Gordon. Mandelson finally put away for good and now a World Cup campaign.

By no means the biggest story out of the latest Mandelson files release - but its remarkable that serving ministers actually spent their time trying to get fellow PPE grads to vote for Mandelson in the Oxford chancellor race. Clown country stuff.

Unions representing public sector workers will be look on with horror at the appointment of a Cabinet minister with the role of "Public Service Reform".

Job cuts on the way.

This billboard under a mile from Tynecastle has been hijacked with an image of Derek McInnes crying! 👀
The Hearts boss was of course on the losing side as Celtic nicked the title from the Jambos' grasp in a final day decider.

@Layo_FH @UnderSneege I get what you're saying, I just don't think it's right!

[Jack Taylor @JTaylor7062]

@Layo_FH @UnderSneege Respectfully, I don't think Palace/Dons is anywhere near the same as Hibs/Hearts. I don't want them to win a raffle. Ever.

Maybe I'm just very, very petty though!
