@JimSpenceDundee I grew up in Yorkshire during that period, my dad was a miner down there. And that’s why I still support the mighty Leeds.

@chrishamilton__ Good luck Hammy, all the very best to you!

[Harry Cunningham @HJCunningham]

@ewangibbs @TheScotsman Absolutely and especially so given the presence and strength of the trade union movement throughout Scotland who argued and campaigned for a Scottish Parliament. My old union, the NUM, was top of the list in active campaigning.

@JimSpenceDundee There’s only one other ‘Chicago’ and that’s Cowdenbeath.

Cowdenbeath (Fife): Historically dubbed the "Chicago of Fife" due to the rapid expansion of its population and the booming, industrial density of its coal-mining pits in the late 1800s.

@georgegalloway @yvonneridley We are British not because we are wedded to the British State but because we are bound together across these isles simply because we belong to the same class George.

It requires a class perspective and position, don’t forget that. For some in Scotland that means @VoteBPB

@JohnSwinney You’ve had plenty of time to make a better Scotland and failed miserably by all accounts. Move over and let someone who is more able and competent to get on with things, for the sake of Scotland if nothing else. #SNPout @ScottishLabour

@PFAScotland @SpartansFC @theacciesfc @StranraerFC @officialdafc @PartickThistle @pfcofficial @officialEKFC @StenhousemuirFC Andy Tod, his amount of goals and assists have put the Pars where they deserve.

@officialdafc We have bigger games ahead, onwards!

@VoteBPB Green politics without any class consciousness is just gardening!

@TimParksauthor @TheTLS AI can tell you how many times the word love is mentioned in a book. AI however, can’t explain what love actually is.

@JimSpenceDundee I grew up in a mining village near Barnsley in the late sixties, I can relate to that film. And I shared a bag of chips with Brian Glover in Kirkcaldy when he was Leone Arris the Man from Paris, what a hero!

@sandymb1956 @brucerisk @VoxBoxMusic @FoppEdinburgh @LoveMusicGlasgo @assai_edinburgh @StevoMusicMan @Beathhigh Rab had an encyclopedic knowledge of music. He was also full of appreciation for those that helped shape his own musical style. Always a joy to be in conversation with Rab, he’s sorely missed.

@alasdair_clark @Douglas4Moray @thecourieruk It’s well known that the funding council acts on behalf of the SG and has done so for many years.
