Immigrant in Scotland.

I hate myself for identifying as Eddie Bauer goth.

@MrJohnNicolson @Irnbrukidsm I’ve read that the church still owned it when the roof had to come down. They sold it to their developer afterwards. Not true??

[Jonesy Evens @TwiterTwouble]

@GrahamSpiers @PaulJSweeney Why did Hillhead Baptist Church let the building crumble the way they did?

[Jonesy Evens @TwiterTwouble]

@PaulJSweeney @LostGlasgow @PastGlasgow @SAVEtoReuse @thevicsoc @is_glasgow @createstreets @HistChurchScot @SChurchesTrust @GrahamSpiers The true crime here is that the church let it get so bad, terrible stewards to the community.

The time to save this building was 40 years ago, please put your efforts and funds into buildings that are not too far gone.

[Jonesy Evens @TwiterTwouble]

The crime here is the church letting a B-listed building crumble & being terrible stewards to the neighborhood.

The city shouldn’t be pitching in to keep buildings like this that were deemed in poor condition in 2000. The time to cry about saving this building was 40 years ago.

B-listed church to be demolished despite over 300 objections. https://t.co/HvolSvUBZw

@bsp_13 This is the first time since moving to Glasgow that I’ve wished I wasn’t in Scotland and was back in the US.

How do we book @TheSavBananas for a game in Glasgow?

The Boston Slide judges the rider’s soul. The bagpiper was pure of heart and got a peaceful ride, the cop was a cop and was spit out accordingly

My wee dug Lorne really liked this video.

[Scotdrone @scotdrone]

Incredible scenes at the Kelpies today in Falkirk as piper Neil Clark bravely scaled one of them and played the bagpipes from the mouth of Baron to help raise money for the charity Maggie’s who support people with cancer at their centres across the country. #kelpies #falkirk

@BossRVA I used a similar app when we got our puppy last year. 😂 I was so stoked on day 3 when I already knew when he was gonna need to go out for a poo.

When I apply to be a parking attendant here in Glasgow, do you think it’s ok to say that I’m really excited to issue tickets for bad parking? Or do I gotta play it cool and not so eager?

[Jonesy Evens @TwiterTwouble]

@Cardinals As a Cardinal fan in Scotland, I’m so disappointed you’re not calling this Taps Aff.

@pcarrollmusic1 @GlasgowCC The Oxfordshire scheme to combat congestion is completely different than Oxford striving for an assessable and convenient 15 minute city.

Here’s a wee thread to help distinguish between the two.

[Emma 💛💙🇩🇰🇬🇧🇪🇺 @MonkEmma]

Ok, let’s do this🙄

We’ll start with an explainer covering:

🕒What is a 15-minute city
🏫What on Earth is going on with Oxford
👽Where the conspiracy theories have come from

And then we’ll look at the Telegraph article

@peter_klein61 @MhairiHunter I’m not going to do research for you bc nothing is going to be good enough. Having to pay £5k every 2 years in order to live here isn’t even good enough to prove that a person wants to be here long term.

[Jonesy Evens @TwiterTwouble]

@peter_klein61 @MhairiHunter I equated Scotland’s history of innovation to not needing to follow other countries and how they do things.

[Jonesy Evens @TwiterTwouble]

@peter_klein61 @MhairiHunter You asked me to name one, I did. Want me to name others?

Which it doesn’t matter, there is no worldwide standard. I thought Scotland would be more into innovation and leading the way, disappointing to find out many want Scotland to stay behind.

[Jonesy Evens @TwiterTwouble]

@peter_klein61 @MhairiHunter “Name me one country, but not that country!”

Mate, every other immigrant I know here can see how much not having independence is holding Scotland back. Embrace immigrants who are stoked to be here & want it to be a free country.

@peter_klein61 @MhairiHunter New Zealand

[Jonesy Evens @TwiterTwouble]

@peter_klein61 @MhairiHunter No way, immigrants integrate and become invested in their new communities when able to vote for what directly affects them, isn’t integration what everyone cries that we should be doing??

Immigrants can also serve on jury’s as that data is also pulled from the electoral roll.

[Jonesy Evens @TwiterTwouble]

@ArabDas31313 @Malcolm_Offord Wait until they find out you don’t even have to be a permanent resident to serve on a jury!
