Oyster farmer, snail gatherer and crofter on the Isle of Barra. After that is anyone's guess.

Do you support it?

@AngusBMacNeil May be not so much of an advantage then

But we all know that the US is committing the gen0cide!

@GordonH60559090 But mostly 2nd and 3rd, like his predecessors.

Be careful everyone, this happened in greystones. The lady's daughter was scammed out of €1000, using a QR code that she scanned to pay for parking.

@GodessOfHair44 Utter pish.

@DKMacPhee Any other country\team in the world would have changed their manager by now. It's interesting that in our winning streak praise was heaped on Clarke's vision & management. 12 straight losses on the other hand, is bad luck. I'm not buying that.

Mr Salmond left with all by a blazing. I totally agree with this.

Tony Blair used to whine that he never really compared the Scottish Parliament to an “English Parish Council”, it was only the nasty Scottish press who twisted his remarks! In fact, he did so compare. (1/5)

@barrabirder @BarraIsland I can't imagine being able to identify a bird so small, shy and flighty at a glimpse.

@barrabirder @BarraIsland Can you only confirm with a photo?

@SirStevoTimothy What's with the school master outfit? It's not like cutting a pony tail off is going to get hair down your shirt. Anyway, well done. Is the missus changing her name to Delilah?

@barrabirder @SMcN26059057 @BarraIsland It's a bit like the local shops. When the tourists move on they get their focus back on the local prey. Harder work but a living none the less.

A Palestinian boy sits on the rubble of his home bombed by the israelis so his trapped mum can hear him: when her cries fade, he realises she’s gone

2 things have happened in Gaza in the last 24 hours:
1) Israel killed 47 Palestinians
2) 6 Israeli hostages were found dead

As you reflect on why only one of these stories is dominating the headlines, there are 5 more things to keep in mind 🧵👇:

@mogibarra They should have put that sign on Fuday before last week's visitor.

Scottish politics is mental at the moment. The SNP is lost at sea. The Tories are eating each other. Labour, who should be flying high, are hiding because their Westminster bosses ride rough shod over their claims of autonomy. What by the way is Alex Cole Hamilton?

[Gerard Mac Donald @thenamesgerard]

So far from the attitude in power suppliers today.

[Jamie McIntyre @_JamieMcIntyre]

With energy prices in the news today, and a particularly hot-topic in the energy-rich Highlands, this news story from @obantimes from 75 years ago is food for thought.
