Fiery but mostly peaceful, working-class, historian, nostalgist, ailurophile, misanthropist. Lonely with just bots following me.

We are being governed solely by people who if they weren’t bullied at school damn well should have been.

@theSNP Is he another faker with a put on accent? That why you used a picture of ‘Honest’ John?

@seumasabheinn @SouthsideSNP Give us Chinese asbestos instead!

@ArchRose90 It’ll appear on her CV as ‘founder of global fast food giant’.

@xagreat You misunderstand, sport. Hardly surprising. This isn’t crying, it’s mocking.

[Teviyah @scteviyah]

@JohnDuncanS30 All added up you’re barely at 1% of UK GDP on this ‘info’ graphic. It’s almost like this is just a mishmash of unrelated, overlapping, figures from different years using different measures. In other words … garbage.

@SCMountainGoat @PatsKam It’s two sennights.

[Teviyah @scteviyah]

@gazabehindscens After taking their degree? So once they were risking precisely nothing for their ‘principles’?

Brave.

@AngusBMacNeil What a monumentally stupid post, even by your standards.

@AgentP22 As far as I'm concerned he's perfectly welcome to drive due east from Lerwick, I'd encourage it.

[Teviyah @scteviyah]

@campbellclaret It's vitally important for our future that we celebrate mediocrity and failure and prevent any mechanisms that might promote success. Fairness! And such a champion, the king of mediocrity himself.

[Teviyah @scteviyah]

A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury…

[Andy Wightman @andywightman]

John Swinney is wilfully mis-representing what Andy Burnham was saying. We don’t have much detail but his point was that political and fiscal power has become too centralised in Edinburgh and London. He is correct. Scotland is one of the most centralised countries in Europe with very weak (non-existant in practice) *local* government. Scottish Parliament has removed many competencies that local authorities enjoyed back in 1999.

John Swinney had been actively engaged is this centralisation over the past 25 years from his threats to take away education from local authorities to his years of enforcing a council tax freeze and the creation of national police snd fire services.

It is actually John Swinney who is in no position to lecture anyone on these matters.

@Fyrishsunset Wait, is Davey suggesting that an independent Scotland would outstrip UK defence spending?

[Teviyah @scteviyah]

@AScot94175440 Exactly.

@trotzenfeldt @HilzFuld Who is her? What are you on about?

[Jack Rankin MP 🇬🇧 @jackmrankin]

We should never hear ‘the Government cannot’ in a legal sense, the Crown-in-Parliament in Sovereign.

If the law currently prevents this man from being deported - change it.

The Government has a majority of 165 in the House of Commons. On this, they can add my vote to it.

[Teviyah @scteviyah]

@NHSMillion @Mowman123 Yes. When that's not true for anyone else.

[Teviyah @scteviyah]

Spectacular. The willingness of some supposedly intelligent people to pretend to be the village idiot to avoid dealing with the consequences of their own nonsense staggers me.

[James Surowiecki @JamesSurowiecki]

@Cernovich How am I supposed to contribute money to USAID?
