Recently retired proud Grandad, enjoys 10 minute kips far too much these days, sometimes plays a guitar very badly. Pretty dull, eh?

@KeithWheatland @Glinner The stereotype that “all Scots hate England” is exaggerated. Polling tends to show a mix of rivalry, indifference and goodwill rather than universal hostility. Fans from Wales, Ireland, Argentina, Australia, New Zealand all joke about supporting whoever England are playing.

@a_new_moody @DailyMail @reformparty_uk @RestoreBritain Tbf, it’s a fine example of three tier policing. Nine years to find him in the most cctv’d city in the Universe. Money talks…

@heraldscotland CIS Women? There are Women and then there are others who Velcro prefixes onto that term in attempt to subvert it for their own purposes. Some come close, but they’ll never land. Actual women don’t need a prefix…they already have a cervix!

@MattCas04807118 @Glinner Manage the risk inside a Men’s Prison. There is no complexity then, biological males in a male prison, but one wing is for those men with dysphoria etc. Shimples!

@treesey @acolehamilton This is exactly why he and his party are considered total fuds in Scotland. Who is he trying to woo with this nonsense? He obviously spent too many nights at academic dinner soirées, honing his drivel over a fine port…

Every February, 70% of the commercial honey bees in the United States, roughly two million colonies, are loaded onto lorries and driven to California. They are going to pollinate the almonds.

80% of the world's almonds come from one valley in California. Over 1.3 million acres of nothing but almond trees, blooming for three weeks in monoculture, requiring more pollinators than the state can produce on its own. So the bees are trucked in from every corner of the country. Florida. New York. Montana.

The bees are fed sugar water for the journey because their own honey has been removed to lighten the load.
They arrive in the Central Valley to a landscape that is, for three weeks, pink and white blossom, and for the other forty-nine weeks of the year, dead. Nothing to eat. No forage. No diversity. Just almond trees and bare dirt, sprayed regularly with fungicides and insecticides that were deemed bee-safe in adult bees but turn out to be lethal to larvae when combined.

In February 2025, commercial beekeepers reported the worst die-off on record. Around 60% of commercial honey bee colonies in the United States dead in a single pollination season. Financial losses estimated well over $139 million. Some beekeepers lost 90 to 100% of their colonies.

The almonds are marketed as plant-based. Clean. Ethical. The preferred alternative.

The preferred alternative requires the single largest managed pollination event in human history and it is quietly killing the pollinators faster than they can be replaced.

Every glass of almond milk is, statistically, a small contribution to the largest pollinator die-off on record.

This is not in the advertising.

@HsaChair the circumstances relating to his prior conviction for being placed on sex offenders register are now widely reported. Which company would offer him employment as a gamekeeper after this? The man is a sordid, casual sadist.

@BBCBreakfast phone theft package. Every clip of a theft, thugs on e-bikes. Why not have bike manufacturers install trackers on all bikes instead of phones? A device hard wired to sub frame…a kill switch to stop it if used in an ongoing incident…

@jan_murray A great summary of the event from the inside and some lovely sentiments regarding John D and this terrible disability so many people are suffering with. A little understanding goes a long way. Thanks.

@treesey Well said, Sir! It amazes me that folk still don’t know about Tourette’s though. Surely actors of the calibre of Jamie Foxx et al have enough worldly experience, knowledge and intellectual capacity to understand the consequences of this condition?
