I am a climber, runner, cyclist and swimmer. In between that I run a small (but perfectly formed) analytics company, splitting my time between Edinburgh, The Highlands and The Borders, campaign for Scottish independence, bake bread and occasionally dabble in bad art.

Cringing in the rain: soggy Rish! kickstarts his farewell tour

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/may/22/cringing-in-the-rain-soggy-rish-kickstarts-his-farewell-tour

Moments later Starmer appeared convinceded in two union jacks. This was his time. The waiting was over. He was ready. We were ready. Bring it on.

Scotland, Wales and NI were not convined, although Gething thought it was a good idea - he might be able to hang on to his loot.

@JackTheCat @TheBreadmonkey Better than by me. The missis loved it - been through both series but I am afraid I gave up midway through episode 1. No staying power she says…

@AnthonyFStevens @soren @CloudyMrs

Given Labour are not even prepared to give Scots a vote and are determined to claw back powers from a devolved Scotland, how on earth do you work that one out?

@AnthonyFStevens @soren @CloudyMrs

Read their (head office) pronouncements. I know it is not really covered in the English press. I might also point at wee things such as Nandy’s approach to a ‘robust’ attitude to independence - in reference to Spain locking up Catalans and preventing them standing in parliament.

@CloudyMrs @AnthonyFStevens @soren I just don’t think many people south of the border know much about Scotland. Wales and NI can say the same.

@AnthonyFStevens @soren @CloudyMrs for a start

And more was reported elsewhere. Context is all..

@AnthonyFStevens @soren @CloudyMrs this cartoon captures much of our attitude to Labour here. You would never get a hint of it from the BBC or other London media.

@AnthonyFStevens @CloudyMrs @soren I am sure that is correct. However people who claim they are inter3ted seem very I’ll informed about matters outside of England and do tend to assume they can simply extrapolate. Hence suggestions that Labour are best for Scotland…

@AnthonyFStevens @soren @CloudyMrs I am glad. But listen to Starmer for other examples.

https://www.thenational.scot/news/19884897.labour-explain-keir-starmer-will-settle-independence-without-indyref2/

We are might pissed off that Labour stood by. Actually collaborated on Article 50. Other examples are available.

@AnthonyFStevens @CloudyMrs @soren ahh you have got to the point. Scotland is a different country, but what England gets, Scotland has to lump. We are in general a more communitarian, gently left country. Domination from another country, be it on Brexit, social care or even just the removal of resources is not acceptable.
