@bensmyth18@DominikDiamond Ben, I can't believe that I "liked" a post that takes the piss out of the Scotland team, but that one really had me laughing out loud! π
@MrJohnNicolson@thetimes Fabulously affectionalte and witty piece, John, it had me literally laughing out loud. We still miss you in East Dunbartonshire and, nationally, in the Commons committes.
@Quoton I've seen then play live maybe around 8 times now. Fabulous hard rock with strong prog rock influences, and they still have two members from their 1970s lineup.
@msm_monitor ... and, as ever, the "mistake" portrays the the Scottish government in a worse light than the facts demonstrate. The Scottish government is never, by "mistake", wrongly shown to be performing better than it actually is.
@msm_monitor How soon before that heartless toff Alister Jack pops up in order to again accuse Nicola Sturgeon of crying "crocodile tears", as he did during the Scottish covid inquiry?
@msm_monitor Peter, sadly, that's not yet true. There are still huge swathes of the population who firmly believe that the mainstream media narritive must always be the true one. Too many people still have 100% trust in our broadcasters and newspapers.
@andyxn65@LordAshcroft Andy, for a treat, we always go for Aldi's Veuve Monsigny Brut champagne. It's only Β£15.99 a bottle, it gets great reviews, and is every bit as good as champagnes that cost three times as much.
Cheers! πΎ
@MrJohnNicolson His sentence requires a comma AFTER the word visa's (sic), not before the "s". How ironic that the point he makes is about poor English.
@MrJohnNicolson There are so many ways in which we should be emulating our Scandanavian neighbours. Not just in defence policy, but also in their emphasis on social justice. Also, the concept of medium-small countries running all of their own affairs is one that Scotland would do well to follow.
@MrJohnNicolson@AngusRobertson@MrJohnNicolson John, why was Angus Robertson only fourth on the Edinburgh and Lothians East list? Surely his stature and record merited him a higher place?
@MrJohnNicolson@AngusRobertson He is too far down the list to have a decent chance of a list seat, David.
Let's hope that Angus dusts himself off again (as he had to do when he lost his Westminster seat) and re-enters the fray at the earliest opportunity. He is too good a politician to lose completely.
@MrJohnNicolson I am also impressed with Angus' commamd of the German language. He takes our message of Scottish independence to a European audience that our mainstream media would not do.
@treesforlifeuk ... by watching yet again the greatest folk horror movie ever made, Anthony Shaffer's "The Wicker Man" from 1973
Hail the Queen of the May!
