The Tartan Army’s on a charm offensive and their American hosts are loving it.

But beyond beer & viral videos, there’s charity work. The Tartan Army is giving Hasbro Children’s Hospital the biggest single donation it’s ever received - money that will go towards treating cancer.

The Flashing Blade (1967). The historical French children's drama set during the War of the Mantuan Succession - that's what the kids want!

It was recut and redubbed by the BBC in 1969 and frequently shown throughout the 1970s.

Holy shit. The EU Commission gave €2.4 million to a researcher for a project intended to "free science and society from the unfounded dogma of sex categories" and "to challenge the ancient categorization of humans into men and women and the unjust gendered social order this categorization helps maintain."

The grant has resulted in just three research papers, all concerning sexual attraction, based on internet surveys and an existing dataset (from what I can tell, there is nothing more).

What the hell?? Two and a half million? It's like that UK project that got €750k and produced a couple of internet surveys on "fragile heterosexuality".

Scene, Downing Street:
‘How can we make ourselves even more unpopular?’
‘Well, prime minister, we could allow Natural England to proceed with their plan to shoot 90% of the ponies on Dartmoor’
‘Yes, that might do it.’

⚠️⚠️ GUILTY ⚠️⚠️

Teacher, Jamie Varley, 37 has been FOUND GUILTY of sexually abusing and murdering 13-month-old baby Preston Davy in a campaign of horrifying abuse over 16 weeks.

His partner John McGowan-Fazakerley, 32, was found guilty of sexual assault, child cruelty and allowing the death of a child.

A port-mortem showed Preston had suffered 40 injuries - with three hospital emergency visits in the 4 months he'd been placed in their care in the process of adoption.

NO SENTENCE WILL BE LONG ENOUGH FOR THESE DESPICABLE DEPRAVED MEN.

Poor, poor baby Preston - left with absolute monsters

Exclusive from @oliver_wright

Dartmoor ponies could be subject to mass culling to reduce the impact on biodiversity after a controversial ruling by the government’s environmental quango

Natural England has demanded that all livestock grazing on the moor is reduced by about 75 per cent to protect other habitats, plants and species

The move looks set to result in the culling of up to nine in ten of the semi-wild ponies as farmers prioritise their own cattle and sheep to remain within Natural England’s limit to minimise the impact on their own livelihoods

Natural England argued that the move was necessary to protect the diversity of Dartmoor, which is a designated site of special scientific interest

However, the plan goes against a government commissioned review into the future of Dartmoor, published two years ago, which concluded that Natural England “should not take actions likely to result in a reduction in pony numbers”, adding they were “invaluable for conservation grazing”

The move has led to claims that the quango is acting as judge, jury and executioner of the ponies — a species which is itself seen as endangered

Dartmoor ponies could be put to death under biodiversity plans
