No I'm not a bot, I just don't want an echo chamber of people who agree with me. So I don't follow or accept followers. A strange concept for some I know.
@KennyFarq@kmacraeplockton@thetimes In that case how do the SNP manage to survive without engaging with the half of the country (or more) who do not support independence?
@owenjonesjourno He admits “making a mistake“ but does not apologise for that mistake? I’m sure you and others would be equally magnanimous with those of a right wing persuasion. He should be called out for what he is and what he has done. He is populist, nothing more or less.
@ZackPolanski@mehdirhasan@ShehabKhan Is it truly an open objective source any more than right wing media outlets are? The contributors should be from across the political spectrum or it will simple be, and be seen as, an echo chamber. You can’t just claim to be better than “them”: you actually need to be better.
@scotgov@S_A_Somerville@ClacksCouncil This text was in the press release from the SG on its websit, but it was omitted in the X infographic for some reason: “ Residents of 97 evacuated homes will now be protected by law, with the UK Government to cover costs“.
@AuldGrannie@ScotNational Yes, these helicopters with the Bambi buckets are permanently based in Cyprus, not deployed there from the UK. That equipment is not in the UK.
@larabirdsnp@Euan4Falkirk It’s quite strange to automatically back the opposition when you are half-English. Understandable in a Scotland v England match, but when you back anyone but England it just seems like populist anti-Englishness. The one type of “banter” intolerance acceptable in certain circles.
@MMASchopenhauer@PeterTatchell@albieamankona I’m more worried he wrote it in the first place, then apologised only when he realised it was unpopular. Is the suggestion he wrote the original message without knowing it was wrong? Really?
@NICKBAZINE58571 I see lots of plane contrails caused by the condensation of water vapour in the jet engine exhaust gases in cold air. I guess water is a chemical.
@kingskroinkie@AcMarygale@northsoundnews@DGallowaySport But they have something to do with King James and the religious conflict in the late 17th Century. The Orange Order is about more than just the Boyne even if that's what they talk about the most. I wasn't passing judgement just making a connection. I'm not a bigot.
