BROWDER: Putin has recently decided to cut off the internet in Moscow because he thinks that’s how Khamenei was located, targeted, and killed. He fears that Ukrainians or others could use it to track him down and kill him. He rarely visits Kremlin. Putin is a scared little man.

@MhairiHunter Millions will break this law before Trump’s own funeral, and they will be right to do it.

Someone must have told Trump that you don't say bad things about a deceased person before the funeral. It's a universal law.

@LakotaMan1 They’re going to have to dig a moat to contain all of it.

I vow to be the first person to piss on this depraved motherfucker’s. grave. I will make it my mission in life.

My grandson came home yesterday and told his mum that they had a lesson on muslims, and their religion in school that day. Today, my family decided that as Christians, catholics, and with Jewish relatives as well as women's rights activists aplenty within our family, this was not appropriate, needed, or wanted. Monday, the head teacher will have a complaint she never imagined, she will never forget and will never wish repeated.

@J4m35c4mpb3ll Your assertion is demonstrably false.

The English flag. Always has been, always will be.

@EdwardQuine @AntigoneJournal Penrithic is a dialect of English. Scots is a language closely related to English itself having many dialects.

@AntigoneJournal If Penrithic is a language, then Scots is a language too, and of equal dignity.

When the dialect of your local town needs its own grammar publishing:

Hard to bring this to life. But there are still some old boys who could do an infinitely better job instinctively.

THE COLONIAL MENTALITY Imagine tweets and news items from outraged English if we reversed the insult: we must convince England that it is a valuable part of Scotland.

It’s gets forgotten that JOHN CLEESE left Monty Python’s Flying Circus in Season 3 (there were 4 Seasons). Here he is on how his “puritanical streak” led to the difficult decision to leave early & his fellow Python’s reaction & displeasure at his going.

I’m actively blocking & ignoring antiscience fools, including those who use lotsa science-y technobabble, some of whom really should know better, at least judging from their claimed credentials. They show themselves to be immune to facts, thus aren't worth the time to refute.

@JohannaBaxter Why lie through your teeth, Johanna. Here is his promise. And he's stuffed it full of new Labour Lords since. This is exactly why people despise politics and politicians like you. Brazen gaslighting of voters is utterly destroying trust and causing social unrest.

@68Davier @brawday @DearIain He does the job he was elected to, for which there are prescribed oaths and responsibilities. Consider how Sinn Féin refusing to take their seats neither served the people of Northern Ireland nor helped bring about re-unification.

@brawday @DearIain I think that’s part of the problem tbh. Swearing allegiance to the crown, privy council member, but aye, we want independence… Really?

Indictment at the United Nations: A Report Submitted Directly to the UN Secretary-General Now Entered into the UN System Exposes Scotland as a Colony and Places the English Colonial State in the Dock Read the full report by Liberation Scotland and partners on the official UN website documents.un.org/doc/undoc/gen/… A document has now entered the official machinery of the United Nations. Circulated at the United Nations Human Rights Council (61st session), received by the Secretary-General, and registered under UN procedures, this report constitutes far more than an NGO submission. It is an intervention within the normative space of international law itself; and an indictment of the English colonial state. For Scotland as an English colony, it is nothing short of strategic. A Break in the Colonial Narrative For decades, the English colonial state has relied on a carefully constructed fiction. Scotland, the narrative insists, is part of a “voluntary union,” endowed with democratic representation, protected by devolution, fully exercising internal self-determination. It's a colonial lie. This report dismantles that fiction with clinical precision. It identifies Scotland not as a partner, not as a region, but as a territory under colonial sovereignty, explicitly placing it alongside cases such as New Caledonia and French Polynesia. This classification is not rhetorical but analytical, precise, legal, and comparative. It situates Scotland within the global structure of colonial domination. It strips away the British constitutional mythology and replaces it with a framework grounded in international law. Once that shift occurs, everything changes. Devolution Unmasked as Legal Assimilation At the core of the English colonial strategy lies devolution. Presented as a generous transfer of power, it has long been used to argue that Scotland already governs itself. The report exposes this mechanism for what it is. A colonial fraud. The Scotland Act 1998 is described as establishing administrative structures while preserving the overriding authority of the central, colonial English state, constituting a process of legal assimilation designed to negate Scotland’s status as a treaty partner. This is a devastating reframing. Devolution is no longer interpreted as autonomy. It is revealed as a technology of control, a system through which the English colonial centre maintains supremacy while projecting the illusion of self-government. Internal self-determination, in this light, is containment, certainly not liberation. The implication is profound. The English colonial state does not share sovereignty. It absorbs, restructures, subordinates, plunders. The Failure of Internal Self-Determination The report goes further. It demonstrates that systems of internal autonomy, wherever imposed under the authority of the dominant state, remain structurally incapable of delivering genuine self-determination. They operate within what the report identifies as a framework of hegemonic legal pluralism, where the colonised are permitted limited expression only within boundaries defined by the coloniser. Scotland’s constitutional reality is thus aligned with a broader global pattern. From New Caledonia to Okinawa, internal arrangements function not as solutions but as instruments of stabilisation for colonial rule. The conclusion follows with force. External Self-Determination & Decolonisation as the Only Solution The report states unequivocally that external self-determination is the only effective means of guaranteeing the rights of peoples subjected to such structures. This is not a suggestion but a doctrinal position grounded in international and UN law: -Article 1(2) of the UN Charter -The UN General Assembly Resolution 1514 (XV) -The UN General Assembly Resolution 1541 (XV) The implication is unmistakable. @UN @UNGeneva @UN_HRC @UNHumanRights @antonioguterres

I don't usually comment on my personal life on here, but speaking as a stroke survivor, this is utterly fucking unacceptable. Anas Sarwar would be the first in the queue calling for resignations and apologies if this was John Swinney

@AnasSarwar @ScottishLabour SNP 1 💛 Greens 2 💚

50 days until May 7. Scotland needs change. Be part of the only campaign that can deliver it: scottishlabour.org.uk

Have you ever heard him say anything insightful? Something clever? A witty remark, suggesting high intellect? Have you ever seen him exude the statesmanlike gravitas of a world leader? Discuss policy with any depth of knowledge? No? You know why? Because he’s a fucking idiot🤦🏼‍♂️

@JoeBiden @gtconway3d The whole world wishes you had prosecuted him for January 6th.

Donald Trump is the worst president we've ever had.
