🏆 Celtic v Hearts Today we should be at Tynecastle for the final day of the season but instead we head to Celtic Park for a title showdown. If we win the league it will be up there with one of the greatest sporting achievements of all time. When you have the likes of the Wall Street Journal, with its 22 million followers, writing about us then you know we’ve done something quite remarkable. No matter the outcome today I will be outside Tynecastle waiting on the boys to return from Glasgow. Thank you Derek and the team for everything. It has been an unbelievable season and this is only the beginning. ♥️

Ally McCoist mentions the words “cheating… corruption… and the integrity of the game has to come in to question’ regarding Celtic getting a penalty against Motherwell.

@jhnmcgnly John - best summary ive read - nobody wanted Goliath to beat David, hence the rage especially from types like Boyd & Super Ally- just bitter because their team lost 4 cup finals

🤓 Reflections on last night's Celtic penalty. I'm not trying to convince anyone, really, more laying out an alternative viewpoint amongst what I consider to be pretty absurd hysteria. There are also some mistruths about the VAR process being portrayed as neutral objectivity that I think deserve to be challenged. Does the ball hit his arm? For me, the footage shows this. Is his arm in an unnatural position and making his body bigger? It's above shoulder height and in front of his head. The ball strikes his arm before his head. Personally, I don't feel his arm being there is justified by his body movement. Intent is irrelevant. Is it a clear and obvious error? There's a popular misconception there has to have been a 'clear and obvious error' for VAR to recommend a VAR review. Per the IFAB guidance, this is not true. A referee can also be called to the monitor if they communicate to the VAR that they haven't seen or made a decision on an incident VAR has flagged as a potential penalty. This is called a 'serious missed incident'. I think, until the audio is released, it's reasonable to assume John Beaton did not rule on whether it was a handball or not before the review, so 'clear and obvious error' would not apply. He didn't have to make a decision on allowing play to continue because the ball almost immediately went out of play and he was told to delay. It's fair to surmise that Dallas' only role was flagging to Beaton there was a potential handball, not suggesting he had made a grave error. IFAB guidance also makes clear that for subjective decisions, including handball considerations, a pitchside review is appropriate. Beaton approached the monitor and made a decision on the evidence available to him. Taking all of this into consideration, even if you feel it wasn't a penalty, I am struggling to comprehend the outrage as if this were either the most corrupt decision in the history of Scottish football or the 'worst VAR decision' in history. I feel there's been a lack of balance or relevant knowledge on broadcasts. I think mainstream pundits suggesting there is a pattern of assistance for Celtic in this title race is hysterical nonsense that is ordinarily mocked by most in less tense times. For the record, and I know this goes against many Celtic fans, I don't believe any club feels the benefit of biased refereeing. I think referees in this country are generally poor and lack consistency and I think the version of VAR that we have in Scottish football is fundamentally flawed because of cheap infrastructure. Going back to the penalty itself, the biggest point of contention would be on the concept of his body being 'unnaturally bigger'. In this case I feel the decision could really go either way depending on the viewpoint of the referee. I don't think it's massively egregious to say it is a penalty. It can be 'harsh', 'unlucky' and 'soft' and still be a reasonable conclusion for the referee to award a penalty. Or at least be reasonable enough not to suggest it is a 'worldwide' embarrassment and/or cheating. I'm not entirely ignorant of my own bias. I fully understand it's easier to go 'well, what's the big deal here?' when the decision goes in favour of the team you support and professionally cover. It's going to generate noise, I get that. Yet, there's something uneasy about the fervour with which this is being labelled as objectively a 'disgusting' crime against Hearts and their title bid. Celtic have earned 19 points with goals scored after the 80th minute this season. They're finding a way. It might be enough. Rage on!

@cloudo85 @gtj1247 Maeda was wiped out when the ball was still about 20ft in the air - how could he not play the ball 🤣

@Frog007Scotland @gtj1247 Have you tried running forward and jumping vertically? Here's a clue: your trajectory will not be vertical! Maeda has no right to run into the keeper, who is going for the ball (unlike Maeda who makes no attempt to play the ball). That's very obviously a free kick to Motherwell.

Celtic denied stonewall penalty - Motherwell goalie Callum Ward sprinted out & kneed Daizen Maeda right through the back (nothing on ball). VAR Andrew Dallas not calling John Beaton to the monitor for a penalty is an absolute joke - the most blatant cheating you will ever see

I don’t want Hearts to win the league i think that’s pretty clear but even i have sympathy for them tonight. Genuinely that last minute pen for Celtic is poor and if i’m a Hearts fan,player or coach (or Motherwell for that matter) I’m fuming at that. You have to be 💯 sure with that big a call.

Starmer has just admitted he banned me and other commentators from traveling to the UK because we would “set back communities.” Yet mass third-world migration doesn’t bother him as it only sets back the one community he doesn’t give a rat’s ass about: the White native population.

I will NOT be attending the rally on May 16th in London that @TRobinsonNewEra is organizing and I likely won’t be attending CPAC UK either because the United Kingdom has decided, randomly, that I am unable to travel there any longer because my prescence is “not conducive to the public good”. I have had this ETA travel permission since last May and have been to the United Kingdom about four or five times since then. I didn’t reapply or anything. Today, I just woke up to this notice in my email. They have banned an American citizen from their country for no apparent reason whatsoever. I assume for matters of freedom of speech, but they haven’t clarified. I will most certainly be appealing that decision and applying for a visa through the formal process to see exactly why they’ve deemed me ineligible to come over. Free speech is DEAD in the United Kingdom. Absolutely dead. The Labour government has taken whatever was left of it and destroyed it.

Grass grows. Cow eats grass. Human eats cow. The simplest agricultural equation on the planet, and somehow the most controversial. Compare it to the alternative being proposed. Petroleum is drilled in the North Sea. Shipped to a refinery in Rotterdam. Converted into nitrogen fertiliser via the Haber-Bosch process at 450°C. Shipped to Brazil. Sprayed on soy planted where rainforest used to be. Soy is harvested by a combine made in Illinois running on Saudi diesel. Shipped to Belgium. Extracted with hexane, a petroleum solvent. Hexane is mostly removed. Isolate is shipped to a food-tech start-up in California. Combined with methylcellulose, beetroot extract for the blood effect, coconut oil, sunflower oil, gum arabic, yeast extract, and twelve other ingredients you wouldn't feed a dog. Extruded through a high-shear processor to mimic muscle fibre. Shipped to a supermarket in Hackney. Bought by a man with a tote bag. Tote bag man eats the product, gets indigestion, and posts a video about how the cow is the problem. Eight thousand miles. Sixteen industrial processes. Four continents. Three solvents. One marketing budget the size of a small country's GDP. Or. Grass. Cow. Human. Three words. Same field for a thousand years. We have somehow convinced ourselves the eight-thousand-mile version is the sustainable one. The greatest piece of stagecraft in human history.

We once considered a Cholesterol Level of 350 perfectly normal & healthy. Then it was lowered to 300. Then to 240. Then to 190. Now doctors want your levels as low as statins can force them — no matter what. Every single time the “safe” number drops, millions more healthy people are suddenly labeled as needing medication. This isn’t medicine. It’s a business model. Statins generate over $22 billion every year. The truth is, the cholesterol hypothesis has been heavily questioned for decades. The famous Framingham Heart Study that helped launch the fear actually showed that for every 1 mg/dL drop in cholesterol per year, there was an 11% increase in both coronary and total mortality. Large reviews of elderly populations (over 68,000 people) found that those with the highest LDL cholesterol lived the longest. Yet studies on statins show they extend average life expectancy by only about 3.2 days. Lowering cholesterol harms the body because cholesterol is essential. It forms every cell membrane, protects your brain, produces hormones, and helps repair arteries. **Statins come with a long list of serious side effects, including:** - Liver inflammation & damage - New-onset Type 2 diabetes - Heart failure & cardiomyopathy - Vertigo, dizziness, cognitive impairment - ALS, aphasia, dementia & Alzheimer’s - Cancer - Pancreatitis - Parkinson’s - Muscle tearing & rhabdomyolysis - Fatigue, weakness & neuropathy - Hormone deficiency - MS, epilepsy & clinical depression **Real culprits behind heart disease:** chronic inflammation, seed oils, excess sugar, and processed carbohydrates — not cholesterol itself. Your body makes most of its cholesterol for good reason. Forcing it dangerously low can create more problems than it solves. Share this with anyone being pushed toward statins. Higher LDL in the elderly is linked to longer life in multiple studies. The constant lowering of “normal” cholesterol numbers benefits drug sales far more than patients. Food is medicine. Real healing starts with what you eat.

The carnivore paradox that breaks people's brains: - Eating more fat makes you lose fat. - Eating more cholesterol improves your cholesterol panel. - Eating more saturated fat reduces inflammation. - Eating more red meat improves your bloodwork. - Eating zero fibre improves your digestion. Everything they told you would kill you is making you healthier. Everything they said was healthy was making you sick. The diet itself is almost beside the point. The real shift is realising the entire paradigm was inverted from the start. - Fat doesn't make you fat. Sugar and seed oils do. - Cholesterol doesn't cause heart disease. Inflammation and insulin resistance do. - Saturated fat doesn't clog arteries. Oxidised seed oils do. - Red meat doesn't cause cancer. Processed food, sugar, and refined oil do. - Fibre doesn't soothe digestion. It irritates it. Once you see it, you can't unsee it. Every food pyramid, every NHS leaflet, every "heart healthy" tick on the cereal box reads like an instruction manual for the diseases it claims to prevent. The emperor has no clothes. He's also diabetic, on three medications, and wondering why his knees hurt.
