Obsessional about Beethoven, Scottish Highlands, good grammar. Keen on single malt & psychology. Detesting racism & judgemental attitudes. All views my own.

#DisasterTrolls Just finished listening to this fascinating and moving podcast. Thank you @mariannaspring for such excellent journalism that digs into the motives of conspiracy theorists.

@EricSutherland9 @FIFAWorldCup @UEFAcom @WorldAthletics Exactly. Any and all sporting contacts with Russia should stop. All teams thrown out of the #UEFA Champions League. #Europa League #sanctions

@BBCRadio3 what’s happened to #buildingalibrary today?

[Neil Ryrie @neil_ryrie]

@EricSutherland9 That’s what happens to women of course!

[Neil Ryrie @neil_ryrie]

@Daydreams1812 Wrong. Scotland were superb.

[Neil Ryrie @neil_ryrie]

@johnbarc86 Well said!

@nottm_eps @Queena_Nina @Hannah_sw @Rebecca29091814 Go for it, youse will all be great.

This is almost as serious as the watergate scandal in the US. Hyperbole? I don’t thing so. Scandalous inaction followed by suppression of the report and then the dead cat of public sector salaries. Our MPs are meant to be ‘honourable’ members. Lol #RussiaReport

[Neil Ryrie @neil_ryrie]

I can think of no political news in the past 50 years that is more shocking than these revelations. #RussiaReport

[Neil Ryrie @neil_ryrie]

@gavinesler And we should not be surprised. Look at the PM’s performance which reached new heights of shamelessness in yesterday’s PMQs.

[Neil Ryrie @neil_ryrie]

@Queena_Nina And congratulations to you as well Nina! I’ve only just seen your news. A real testament to your hard work and richly deserved. 🥂🥂

[Neil Ryrie @neil_ryrie]

@Siya_mnz Congratulations Siya. I’m not in the least surprised. 🥂🥂🥂

[Neil Ryrie @neil_ryrie]

@mikewarburton Well... that is just weird.

A further angle on Johnson’s difficulty over #DominicCummngs is that he is feared and disliked in equal measure. The kind of affection that sometimes rescues this sort of situation just isn’t available.

There was an old bloke outside the house, so I stole his wallet and gave it to my son. Yes, if you want to score a cheap point it was ‘against the rules’ but caring for your child is NOT A CRIME.

[Nicola Sturgeon @NicolaSturgeon]

I know it gets harder as the weeks go on, but PLEASE #StayAtHome this weekend (except for essential purposes ie food/medicine and exercise). You are making a difference and saving lives. Let’s stick with it for a bit longer to get this virus properly under control. Thank you 🙏

@JaneEMCallaghan Seems to be a real example of ‘damned lies’. Figures being used to say whatever people want them to say.
