When Hearts recently won the 2nd tier, celebrations were muted because we were embarrassed at the win, given the resource disparity over our opponents. Big fish in small pond etc. However If Celtic win the Prem on Sat, they will act like it is the summit of human achievement...

@PEDN341 Celtic celebrations would be like Ussain Bolt doing a lap of honour after winning the parents' race at his kids sports day🤣 Given the financial disparity you lot should be embarrassed that you are still behind Hearts and need to rely on shitey ref interventions.

@CornerRadish What difference does it make to you how we would celebrate? Why would it be embarrassing to celebrate winning a league we should have been out of weeks ago. 8 losses and only one win away from an unlikely championship. We will be fucking milking it if it happens.

@PEDN341 There wasn't an "and". Is my point not clear enough? Try and work it out

@CornerRadish So Celtic shouldn't celebrate if they win the league, after being 10 points behind to Hearts, and going through the worst managerial spell in history and having the worst set of players in years do me a favour

@MacGerrard_ Lenny is a good guy. I remember Craig Levein singing his praises for his attentiveness and support after his (Levein's) heart attack. Lennon has always been a bit of a pantomime villain but he knows his stuff and calls it as he sees it

Neil Lennon on Sky Sports “ Yes I’ve seen it! I’ve listened to all the opinions today, there’s not a discussion to be had! Motherwell have been cheated out of a point. If that happened to any club in the league they’d feel aggrieved. John has been foolish, I can’t see how he made a decision and I don’t see how the referee association hasn’t come out and apologised”

It doesn't feel like it right now, but 80 points is an incredible total for our players to reach. Unbeaten at Tynecastle all season. One game to become legends. To Saturday... Believe.

@BarryAnderson_ The only positive from this is that we are given an extra wee motivation by the sense of grievance and injustice. Such a wonderful season can't be allowed to be decided by incompetent/corrupt officials. There has to be another end to this story

Derek McInnes labels Celtic's penalty award at Motherwell "disgusting". The Hearts coach says it feels like 'us against everybody else' as he prepares for Saturday's Premiership title showdown in Glasgow. edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football…

I have tried and I can't get my head around it. What country in its right mind changes its legislation to allow anyone on a temporary visa to stand for election to its parliament. And how did it get past us and why was it not put to a referendum?!

@RussellFindlay1 Unless you voted against the legislation that allowed this to happen, you are in no position to make a stink about it now. The country has been let down by the entire political class. Shame on you all

Heard about the foreigner who's in our country on a student visa being elected to the Scottish Parliament? What a farce.

This fiasco is a useful reminder of why some powers are quite properly reserved. A parliament in which foreign nationals dialling in from abroad can participate on the same basis as any other MSP cannot seriously argue that it should have powers over the constitution or energy.

✈️ Green MSP on student visa could serve at Holyrood in exile from abroad if kicked out of the country. Q Manivannan likely to be able to remain in UK until 2029 on graduate visa. But experts think his plan to secure global talent visa to stay longer unlikely to work. Link ⬇️

@mboudry I would have turned Gaza and every breathing thing in it into sand after Oct 7th and not lost a minute's sleep. The Israelis have shown greater restraint than they needed to

A while ago, I watched the infamous 47-minute video documenting the atrocities of October 7th — the one not made publicly available, to protect the privacy of the victims. The worst part of this video is not what it displays, but who is displaying it: the perpetrators themselves. Gleefully. Sadistically. Unabashedly. Most of the footage was filmed by Hamas terrorists on their GoPro bodycams, some also by ordinary Gazan civilians on their cellphones. Even the Nazis tried to cover up their atrocities, but Hamas brags about theirs for the entire world to see. The killers are euphoric throughout the massacre, and their relentless, ecstatic cries of "Allahu Akbar" (punctuated by the occasional "Kill the Jew!") are simply nauseating. Some images are seared into my memory forever. I will never forget the two boys in their underwear — one with his eye socket hanging out of his face — asking his brother whether he thinks they're going to die, while the Hamas monster who had just thrown a grenade in their saferoom helps himself to a drink from their fridge, taking a casual break from the slaughter. Neither will I ever forget the terrorists playing football with a severed head. Or the Thai migrant worker whose head is viciously hacked off with a garden hoe — another "Zionist colonizer" getting what he deserved, right?quillette.substack.com/p/what-did-you… Or the throngs of Gazans crowding around pickup trucks loaded with the mutilated corpses of Jewish women, filming and spitting on the bodies. Or the woman in Kibbutz Mefalsim, crouching and begging in vain for mercy. There is some evidence of sexual violence in the video — the charred corpse of a young woman with her legs splayed and her genitals exposed — but not much. Apparently even Hamas draws a line somewhere: they are not as proud of raping Jewish women as they are of murdering them. Or, more likely, they simply didn't want to embarrass the delicate sensibilities of their legions of useful idiots in the West. But yes — there was rape. Not "rape" in scare quotes, as the apologists would have it, but sadistic, murderous sexual violence, documented in a new damning new report by The Civil Commission, an independent Israeli women's rights NGO. (video summary here: youtube.com/watch?v=K7fJuz…) Across its 180 pages, the report describes "a recurring pattern of rape and gang rape; sexual torture; mutilation; targeted shooting to the face, head and genital area; forced nudity; binding and restraint; genital burning; objects inserted into intimate areas; post-mortem sexual humiliation; and execution during or after sexual assault." And it was premeditated and organized. The terrorists crossing into Israel carried printed Arabic-to-Hebrew phrasebooks with handy expressions like "take off your pants," "lie down," "spread your legs," and "don't make trouble." I wonder why they expected to need those particular phrases? I know one thing: no civilized country on earth would tolerate the existence of an organization like Hamas on its border after October 7th. Not one. This includes every self-righteous Westerner currently lecturing Israel from thousands of kilometres away, without an inch of skin in the game. dailymail.com/news/article-1…

@MarkMcLaugh1in @q_ueering My biggest takeaway is that I do not want someone who is a fellow UK citizen to legislate the laws in my own parliament that I have to live by

My two biggest takeaways from conversations with the Home Office on the @q_ueering visa saga are: • Being an MSP is not work and; • Getting elected does not require exceptional talent

@staylorish Our entire political class are culpable for this outrage. Also our media class for not giving any prominent coverage to the issue before the legislation was waved through. Utter disgrace

1/ There is a lot of misinformation floating around about how people with limited leave to remain were allowed to become MSPs. The rules were not changed by some sneaky amendment. The change was in the very first clause of the bill, as originally introduced.
