Exiled and old. Independence might one day prove to be a pragmatic choice, but nationalism is a social cancer and a grifter magnet.

@BrianSpanner1 Half time will be longer. Mandatory "drinks breaks" will be longer. All to allow for U.S. advertisers. Then that tosser Infantino will move to adopt this stuff throughout the global game. The game is up.

[Scottie @broughtyboy2]

@LadyForProgress Okay. It's another day and I'll re-engage. LGB - no problem. LGBT - probably okay, but we need to tread carefully. What does the 'Q' stand for? Tell me, in your own words.

[Scottie @broughtyboy2]

@ScotNational I'll pay you money not to get anything from you. Ever.

[Scottie @broughtyboy2]

@WingsScotland Absolutely. Swinney as leader "must" be all over SNP's finances, so let's ask him - are they in order, yes or no?

@LadyForProgress @SilentSigh @SeamSaladbar @dog_rates How am I attacking trans people by noting that when you upend social norms, and give anyone access to protected spaces (such as women's toilets and changing rooms) then you open the floodgates for all sorts of malign individual behaviour? It's not a binary argument.

[Scottie @broughtyboy2]

@LadyForProgress @SilentSigh @SeamSaladbar @dog_rates Well, as a 'fool' it seems I'm tolerating more abuse from you. Where am I whining?, and moreover, where am I whining "victim"? I know what he went to prison for, and I'm uneasy. You however, are full of moral self-righteousness and certitude. It's never so simple.

[Scottie @broughtyboy2]

@LadyForProgress @SilentSigh @SeamSaladbar @dog_rates As ever, a presumptuous misrepresentation of my opinions followed by abuse. We should all strive for tolerance, but in our exchange here, you display none.

[Scottie @broughtyboy2]

@scotfax If you were innocent you'd be screaming your innocence from the rooftops. If you were guilty (and therefore 'stressed') you'd be advised to say "no comment".

@JimSpenceDundee He'll need police protection when he's released.

[Scottie @broughtyboy2]

@JimSpenceDundee @C_GStrachan @dundeeunitedfc Great days. Days that my young mind thought would last forever.

[Scottie @broughtyboy2]

@LadyForProgress @SilentSigh @SeamSaladbar @dog_rates Agreed. But I'd suggest society is beholden to protect women and children in the first instance. This opinion apparently makes me a "bigot" and "dead" to the WRD's administrator. Shutting down measured dissent helps no-one.

[Scottie @broughtyboy2]

@SeamSaladbar I disagree, and respectfully, I'm not scapegoating anyone. The movement itself is creating real, systemic problems such as the one I mentioned. People can self identify if they wish, but there are a lot of bad actors out there who won't hesitate to exploit every new opportunity.

[Scottie @broughtyboy2]

@SilentSigh @SeamSaladbar @dog_rates Wrong. I've no problem with gay pride as a concept. However, I do have a problem with a man self identifying as a woman so he can be housed in a female prison, then raping a woman inmate. As Dawkins said, you can be so open minded that sometimes you brain falls out.

[Scottie @broughtyboy2]

@SeamSaladbar @dog_rates A reasonable question perhaps, but completely beside the point.

[Scottie @broughtyboy2]

@dog_rates I live in Brighton, probably the gay Capital of the UK, and the last thing I'd do is judge others for their sexuality. But when a female prisoner is raped in a Scottish prison by a self identifying inmate - there's a problem. Flag wavers of all kinds leave me cold.

[Scottie @broughtyboy2]

@scotfax Why doesn't someone nail Swinney down? He's the leader, and given the party's recent history we would reasonably expect him to be 'all over' the SNP's accounts. So ask him - are they all in order, yes or no?

[Scottie @broughtyboy2]

@jaegerlecoultre Beautiful movement. Dreadful AI voiceover .
