Hello, everyone! We’re a new Scottish publisher interested in really short works of fiction, creative nonfiction and poetry for our weekly digital newsletter and biannual print collections. The newsletter starts in a month and submissions are now open on our website! Please RT😃
The subtext of the 'Scots cross the border' narrative was that Scots are willing to put drink before health. The BBC showed Scots as morons, swigging from bottles in public and clearly drunk. It reinforced the outdated stereotypical image of the drunken Scot.
What have Benjamin Zephaniah, David Bowie, John Cleese, Jennifer Saunders and Nigella Lawson got in common? They all turned down honours. Respect. #HonoursList
@Smicht I saw Tilda Swinton sitting in the House of Bruar restaurant, she looked liked she was learning lines and writing notes. That was about 20 years ago. She was alone and not sweating!
OMG where's my claymore!!!! According to BBC News we have invaded England because basically we have to be served at a table here while down South there is a freedom to go and get your own drink.
A huge year ahead for those who want #ScottishIndependence8 - we need to be well on the road to a referendum by the end of it or the movement could implode. To that end, please stop slagging fellow Yessers & be kind to those we still have to convince. It’s comin yet for a’ that!
media manufactured the whole, 'cross the border to party'. This was designed to portray our people as only interested in booze, and that England being the real model for covid (lack of) restrictions.
It's demeaning, petty, and how the manipulators work

Happy New year from the middle of the North Sea . Hope the hangover's are all manageable today and everyone is safe and well. Will 2022 be our year #ScottishIndependence8 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
To be home in 🏴 Scotland this time of year is almost spiritual experience.
English language is unsuitable to express what I mean.
The country moulds the people, rather than people moulding an area of land.
Something like that.
Steadfast, saturnine, Scots.
#ScottishIndependence8
Be blunt with BBC Scotland.
Their drip, drip, drip, of damaging Scotland rhetoric has exceeded any acceptable benchmark.
Do not be rude to their employees - be blunt towards the organisation.
Public pay their wages.
Public are close to firing them.
