@Wilson34David @GeorgeFoulkes @AlexNeilSNP Turns out Alistair Jack’s Section 36 order didn’t have us all rallying round Holyrood either. Many of us who voted Yes/ Yes in 1997 would be cheering if Holyrood’s doors were locked and they threw the keys into Dunsapie Loch

@happyface195982 @TheCinesthetic This is the one. Unbeatable villainous characterisation from an actor who can go from meek to evil.

@ashawolves @CalumRaasay @echetus Only tick bites afaik

@JohnStuartWilso @TartanSeer @SSalyers2 @SymbolStones It’s all so very tiresome. If Scotland really wanted a referendum May’s election was the day to prove it.

Scotland’s electorate avoided the polling booth in their hundreds of thousands so their is no demand for another referendum except from frothing loons

It didn't show much promise at the beginning

@CalumRaasay @echetus My eldest missed out on a PhD because of a tick bite in Italy and several months back with us recovering.

@gask_findo @kershaw_alex @WWIIMemorial Because some of them are just boys. Been in the army for 2-3 years, probably never been in action and they know exactly what is facing them in the next 24 hours. That’s a lot to carry on your shoulders at that age.

@WowHauser Imagine falling down those stairs though

@CalumRaasay @BrilliantMaps Just as Grok, that’s what I did

@gask_findo @wyllie_cameron Be kind, show them love. Awww.

Just sodding teach them to sit still and learn the three Rs. That’s what Scottish primary schools need right now or in a generation this country is doomed. It’s already teetering on the brink. More of the same and it will be dystopian in 20 years.

@UteRob32976 @AtticumFloreat The localisation of regimental depots was only introduced in 1873 so by 1879 many of the old lags in the 24th were still English. And all regiments across the country made up their numbers by recruiting in London.

@CalumRaasay @BrilliantMaps How about this?

[Adam Brown 🇺🇦 🇮🇷 @adbrora]

@509298 @norriehunt43182 BPC wanted the London throne and the clans were his useful idiots. He cared not a jot for them or an independent Scotland and ran away at Ruthven Barracks after Culloden rather than stay behind and lead his Highland Army in the hills

@WHW_HighlandIC @Vivrelhistoire Here’s another one that gets mistaken for Dunkirk.

British Prisoners at Dunkirk, France, June 1940.

The fall of Dunkirk in late May and early June 1940 was one of the most dramatic moments of the early war. As German forces encircled the British Expeditionary Force and their French allies, a desperate evacuation—Operation Dynamo—was launched to bring as many men as possible across the English Channel to safety.

While over 330,000 troops were successfully rescued, tens of thousands were left behind. These men, cut off from the beaches or ordered to hold the line, were taken prisoner when the final perimeter collapsed on 4 June. Photographs of British prisoners at Dunkirk show weary soldiers marched into captivity, many still in their battle gear, reflecting both exhaustion and resignation.

For those captured, years of hardship in German prisoner-of-war camps lay ahead.

@Vivrelhistoire @WHW_HighlandIC You can see the same abandoned vehicles in the same location in both photographs

[Adam Brown 🇺🇦 🇮🇷 @adbrora]

@Vivrelhistoire That last image is a still from a series taken of the 1958 movie set. Here is another on e-Bay. Thanks to @WHW_HighlandIC for finding the e-Bay photograph

@DrHelenFry @project4_4 Except that is a photograph of British troops at Veules-les-Roses on 12th June 1940. Nowhere near Dunkirk

[Adam Brown 🇺🇦 🇮🇷 @adbrora]

@Ullapoolweather @NeilDrysdale It’s because the 51st wasn’t at Dunkirk. St Valery-en-Caux is in Upper Normandy not Nord-Pas-de-Calais.

@gask_findo Tories laughing at him. What a thin-skinned embarrassment.
A half-decent FM could have responded with withering humour instead he throws his toys out of the pram
