Scots, English, fluent Spanish and less fluent French speaking supporter of #ScottishIndependence, profoundly opposed to #Brexit.

Trying not to be carnaptious all of the time - family, friends, single malt, photography, books, travel, music, cycling and walking help keep me sane.

Urgent memo to Sir Keir Starmer: there are some offers which should be refused

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/may/12/urgent-memo-to-sir-keir-starmer-there-are-some-offers-which-should-be-refused

“It is still up for argument both within his party and among voters whether he is a firmly anchored leader of genuine conviction, the case made by his allies. Or is he, as enemies to both right and left contend, a ruthless opportunist who will say or do anything to get power?”

What argument?

Pedestrians standing two abreast across both cycle lanes.

Me: “Please look out”

Him: “Ease up mate”

I was easing up. I did.

But you wouldn’t walk in a road and say that to an approaching (speed limit observing) car 🤷🏼‍♂️

Not the English per se.

✅ Westminster.
✅ Unionist political parties.
✅ Unionist media.

What "union"?

How could we not be better off by getting out of what's the economic basket case of Europe?

Define "better off" - consider the democratic deficit from 85% of the population being in England and FPTP; the systematic sustained attack on devolution; the complete suppression of mandates for while claiming the "union" is voluntary; the impact on Scotland of - which we rejected but got anyway.

I'd vote for independence in a heartbeat.

To me that's unpredictable and irrelevant to be honest.

Imagine anybody admitting they were a member of Labour, the party that's welcomed the consummate right wing roaster Elphicke with open arms.

A WASTE firm has pointed the finger at axed Green Party minister Lorna Slater for them suffering a £150million loss over the failed bottle recycling scheme.

Biffa has now launched an action against the Scottish Government to recoup the cash in the Court of Session and has named her in their legal claim.

The recycling firm is seeking compensation for the money they invested in the collapsed Deposit Return Scheme and the subsequent loss of profit.

Registered in Buckinghamshire. Hmm. 🤨🙄

The Observer letters, this one from Yorkshire: "The way Britain treats refugees shames the nation".

There's that "Britain a nation" thing again.

England is truly in a parallel universe.

The "human rights lawyer":

"You talk about it being right to protect people from persecution. Would you increase the number of safe routes?"

"I don't think safe routes is the answer to this vile trade that's being run to put people into small boats."

He doesn't. give. a. shit.

Ultimately, the fact Starmer doesn't give a rat's arse about anything except power will be his undoing.

@fkamiah17

The prospect of Starmer as PM makes me despondent tbh. It'll be grindingly the same, just perpetuating mediocrity and mouthing short-lived vacuous platitudes in the face of massive strategic issues.

Keith's in Dover making a speech about immigration, with a wee union fleg logo on the podium.

Dover is Elphicke's constituency.
