@SeaSpitfires Remarkable that an entire beach was cancelled at clearly short notice, because of German tanks moving into the area, and then despite all the plans covered it all up because they didn’t want to credit a female agent (who’ve never been discussed at length in books)
Jesus wept
@EvlShananigans@AdamSchefter Because to be an undrafted FA, you have to have been eligible to be drafted. The NFL doesn’t let you just rock up and go “I’m a free agent, who wants to sign me?”, else what would be the point of the draft at all?
@Fergie_CJ Loganair (Scotland’s airline) does a direct service from the Shetlands, to Bergen. If that doesn’t tickle your fancy, you can fly from Shetlands to Edi or Glasgow and then go to most of Norway from there.
If there was demand for a Shetlands ferry, there would be one.
@schadjoe Yes, and that’s good. You should keep hold of that, but that’s a different conversation.
That being said, the encouragement to speak your mind doesn’t stop anyone else from speaking theirs and telling you it’s a dumb idea. Can’t have it both ways.
@FemaleScotlandV “Empire elites were colonial administrators, military commanders and soldiers.”
Sorry, are we trying to argue here that the Scots weren’t these things - amongst others in the ‘empire elite’? And were used only as cannon fodder?
@pennebaker I’d honestly love to see a bunch of non Americans start banging on about the in field fly rule or how far down the field a DB can contact a receiver. I suspect that would be well received.
@GBNEWS I cannot wait - cannot wait - for this generation that born well after the Second World War to stop trying to use it as a stick to beat people with.
@SeaSpitfires Watch Gettysburg. Don’t watch Gods and Generals - which it is neo confederate trash. Gettysburg might have plenty of flaws as a movie, but at least it doesn’t go full Lost Cause.
@RearAdBsBlog Please, I’m begging this sort of American, learn your own history. Please.
John Paul Jones is right there for this thing you’ve got going on with the Scots. So are a couple of the Founding Fathers. And yet I’ve not seen anyone take it. I wonder why?
@iAmNickWize The NFL has employed people for doing worse, and they’re shouldn’t be playing either.
Just because they’re hypocrites - and they are - doesn’t make them wrong.
@IndigoFast The mental gymnastics some Scots do to make it seem like they had nothing to do with the British Empire and didn’t massively profit from it is genuinely astounding.
There’s no sin in history until you try to deny the truth of it.
@jaykelly26 Genuinely amazing that you boys don’t know enough about your own history to know that the Scots would very, very much be part of any 250 year grudge.
@whocatrs28507@YourAnonNews My point is they spend millions to fix a problem and all they managed was to make it worse. Because no one thought it through.
