The divisions and hostilities that Brexit has unleashed are disgraceful. The current crop of chancers who are temporarily in charge will only exacerbate them. EU citizens are welcome here. As we like to be welcomed in Europe. #bollockstobrexit #greatreport

"I feel like this government, this whole country, has become more hostile to foreigners."

While Boris and Mogg play games with Britain's future - immigrants who made this country their home are on the streets fighting to save freedom of movement.

Very pleased to see my book Hopes and Dreams and Buster too is sitting at #1 on one of Amazon's ranking lists. Happy to see the youngsters like it as it was primarily aimed at an older readership. All Good!

Looks like the Postal strike's gonna happen. Crazy!

[John Dickson @AuthorJohnD]

Just back from picking up the 'Bishopbriggs' Xmas cards. Kathleen's got a good student's job interview on friday. Fingers crossed.

[John Dickson @AuthorJohnD]

I run a big Post Office. If there's a strike I'll have to cut back staff. That what's wanted in a recession? Turkeys voting for Christmas!!

Just discovered how to get email on my phone! I'm catching on fast...

[John Dickson @AuthorJohnD]

Just checking emails. We had a good day. Our daughter Kathleen got her higher results today. A brilliant 4 A's and a B. She's some kid!

[John Dickson @AuthorJohnD]

I'm gonna go home early. I'll either go to the gym of go for a wee hike for an hour or so. It's a bit sunny.

[John Dickson @AuthorJohnD]
