"The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history. Then have someone write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history. Before long the nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was.”
Milan Kundera
Joke of a piece this.
Minister for Sport (Maree Todd) and First Minister are there working.
Stephen Flynn and Alison Thewliss there as fans - paying for it themselves.
If you’re getting upset at that grow up and have a word with yourself.
JD Vance's wife, Usha Bala Chilukuri Vance, is Indian American. Her parents immigrated to the United States from Andhra Pradesh, India, in the late 1980s. Vickrum Digwa's parents came to the UK from India in the mid-1990s.
By JD Vance's logic, his in-laws, Radhakrishna Chilukuri and Lakshmi Chilukuri, would be part of the "mass invasion of migrants" because they immigrated around the same time as Henry's killer.
Nigel Farage has retweeted JD Vance's tweet, calling British Sikhs "mass invasion of migrants."
Like I said the other day. Look how quickly they turned on the Sikh community.
@ThomasKerrMSP You got away with fraud, scot-free. Your business was struck off Companies House for failure to submit accounts. You were money laundering, hiding money and taking bribes.
This is the dumbest tweet ever written by an American, an astonishing achievement given the depth of competition for that accolade.
It's hard to know where to even start.
I'll go from the top and try wade through it, to arrive at where the focus should already be. /1
We're going to have to repeat a lot that many Jewish people don't support Israel's genocide.
Criticism of the Israeli Government and their war crimes has nothing to do with who is or isn't Jewish.
To conflate them like this is both harmful and antisemitic.
@indy_swim Stuart Campbell has lived off donations for nearly 20 years. He's a begger, a thief, a liar and a grifter. Remember he also lost the homophobia case against Kezia Dugdale. I hope more people sue him. He's a horrible bigot.
This is really good except, if I may, it’s a bit harsh to dismiss me as a malcontent when I’ve been proved right on this scandal, the lack of an indyref strategy & the disaster of Self ID. In due course I expect also to be proved right about the conspiracy against Alex Salmond.
@chrisdeerin What's the alternative? We hate the Tories since Thatcher, Labour is finished in Scotland, the LibDems are barely relevant and Reform is racist. The SNP is the only party that has benefited Scotland. Murrell is an anomaly and he's paying the price.
Veteran news anchor Jon Snow has shared that he’s living with dementia, speaking publicly for the first time to raise awareness of a condition affecting around 1 million people across the UK.
Jon and his wife, neurologist Dr Precious Lunga, are supporting Alzheimer’s Society @alzheimerssoc and shared the story of Jon’s diagnosis in @DailyMail as part of our Defeating Dementia campaign with the newspaper.

We’ve partnered with Jon, in association with @Channel4, on a powerful new documentary airing on 20 June. Jon Snow: A Last Big Story looks at how he’s navigating life with dementia, and how, when we all come together, we can change the story.
Thank you to Jon and Precious for their courage and openness to bring much-needed attention to dementia 💙
