Destroying the planet we live on -- the only planet we can live on -- is of course totally legal and even supported and subsidised by governments around the world (including 's).

But PROTESTING against destroying the planet? That's illegal. That's very, very illegal. Don't even think about doing that.

@SpaceJellyfish @simon_brooke You are proposing exactly the same strategy that environmentalists have been doing for the last 60 years, a strategy that has utterly and completely failed.

Civil disobedience has generations of success - it got women the vote, and got civil rights for people of color.

I don't think it's too much, I think it's not enough.

Imagine this was an action movie, where a tiny number of psychopaths were systematically destroying the Earth, not even for good and services, but simply to win a meaningless numerical game called The Money. These psychopaths control pretty well everything, so anyone opposing them gets crushed in horrible ways.

Is "starting an information portal on the web" really going to be what defeats these incredibly powerful villains?

The amazing collection of sculptured medieval graveslabs in the lapidarium, originally a burial aisle, in the churchyard at Kilmartin Church in Argyll. These are some of the more recent historical wonders to be found in Kilmartin Glen. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/kilmartin/kilmartinstones/index.html

, your poison has worked. I'm not going to cycle in this summer. For the first time in 20 years I just don't feel any longing to see Scotland this summer.
Thank you, NC500 🙁 You've made my trip last year just too memorable in a negative way.

A photo from a Glasgow institution. The Park Bar is a pub owned and frequented by people from the Western Isles and The Hebrides.
You can see the Gaelic signs and hear the language spoken. Music nights are common.
So much industry and services, especially the National Health Service could not have coped but for so many Highland girls

So David Cameron has vetoed devolved Rockall fishing agreement between Scotland and Ireland. There have been enough warnings about this - Westminster is, and will continue to be, in the business of gradually stripping more and more devolved powers from Scotland until they can close Holyrood down. It's independence or becoming a council area of England.

A reminder what the #GeneralElection to the parliament in England is about.

@raghnallborders Who the feck asked that unelected irrelevance ? I'd love him to come up to Scotland and stand in George Square, with his supporters and repeat that 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Magnificent Melrose Abbey, standing close to the heart of Melrose in the Scottish Borders. It was founded by King David I in 1136 and is one of the four great abbeys of the Scottish Borders. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/melrose/melroseabbey/index.html

Does anybody in #Scotland recognise the "country" Sunak and Starmer are talking about?

I had dinner in the drizzle, then lovely evening clear spells. Bliss! Great for a long evening beach walk #Harris #Scotland

Is there another nation in the world where three of the main
parties are registered and funded from another country? #Scotland #IndependenceIsNormal #ge2024

@Indyposterboy Actually I think Russia is funding many - the UK included….
