@LargsThistleFC @scottishjuniors Well worth the very early start 0615 bus for the old man from your house this morning @GeddesGraeme

@MattWalshBlog Every dish is the same, just folded a different way

Every Mexican dish is just a taco in slightly different forms. The most redundant and least diverse cuisine on the planet. It's time to be honest about this.

You’re misunderstanding the analogy. I’m not saying that this is how war works. The entire point is that war doesn’t work this way.
The analogy was about the very specific and critical claim that Israel is killing innocent civilians unintentionally. The point of looking at the same scenario domestically is that it becomes clear that the killing would be considered by everyone to be intentional.
I’m not arguing that nothing changes when you’re talking about a foreign country (although it’s murky with Israel/Gaza as to what responsibilities Israel has). I’m just saying that the concept of intentionality doesn’t.
Let’s just call “collateral damage” what it is: the international killing of innocent people: murder. Then we can have an honest conversation about supporting a war, with the obvious burden being on the person advocating for it to demonstrate that this is absolutely necessary with no conceivable alternatives.

Stop. This is the second time I’ve heard this false analogy between a vigilante revenge scenario, domestic law enforcement, and the conduct of war on @joeroganhq—this time from @ComicDaveSmith: “Let's say somebody broke into your property and killed some of your family members and you want to go kill this guy. If he goes back to his apartment building and you know that there's women and children in that apartment building and so your move is to blow up the building. What you would be charged with is murder in the first degree cold-blooded premeditated intentional murder...” This is not how war works. It’s not how the laws of armed conflict work. It’s not how just war theory, military ethics, or rules of engagement work. None of it. This analogy reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of warfare and the frameworks that govern it—legal, ethical, and operational. Ironically, in that same episode, he and @DouglasKMurray debated who qualifies as an expert and who should be making declarative statements about certain wars. That question answers itself.

@DreyfusJames @PoppyLegion Keep pushing on this James! Absolutely disgusting

Sorry to bang on @PoppyLegion , but I’m sure you’ll appreciate many people deserve to know exactly where their money goes when donating to you. May I just clarify that NOT ONE PENNY is going to Stonewall this year? If that’s the case, very happy to continue to donate…

@MCI_NF Are you suggesting your scouting department may not be on top of their brief?🤣

This is kyogo furuhashi. He plays for Celtic and yes, of course he scored against us in pre-season friendly this year.

@SPFLWatch Fuck right off. Make them play. For all the reasons in the comments below

I think a fair solution for the Killie vs Dons is that Killie get the postponement and they have to pay for any incurred costs Aberdeen face by moving the game to the midweek slot of 24/25th September.
That seems like a fair, common sense approach.

@GeddesGraeme @oilyslick1 @lowles_nick So you suggest we murder all doctors & nurses after some of them committed murder? Rotherham is more than 100 miles from Southport. Are you just another warped racist who just wants to kill those you don't like?
English
These protesters know that there are people inside the hotel. This is nothing less than attempted murder… The Govt needs to set up a national Task Force to bring the guilty, including those who inspired them, to justice
English
@oilyslick1 @lowles_nick You OK with innocent little children being slaughtered?

Looking at just a player’s club career, can you guess who this Scotland international is?
Reply/quote tweet with your answer to this now and remember there is to be no googling allowed.
We will reveal the correct answer later tonight.

@GhorbaniiNiyak @Emma_A_Webb @metpoliceuk Interesting how one can be arrested for pointing out that Hamas are a proscribed terrorist organisation. It would seem the met police operate in open defiance of the laws of this land.

Who should I complain to when the law enforcer speaks "lies"!
Shameful

@afneil @markthehibby How long will it take for these ferries to realise a profit. If ever they do
English
But, hey, just seen that the official SNP/ScotGov twitter account has wished Scotland’s pagan community a very happy winter solstice. So that’s alright then. I will stop quibbling and cavilling about less important matters like ferries for island communities.
Andrew Neil@afneil
MV Glen Sannox, a partially-built Scottish ferry already almost six years late and £100 million over budget, is delayed for at least another two months and might not be deployed for the crucial summer tourism season (again). Despite being touted as “green” because it uses LNG I understand the imported gas will be offloaded in southern England then sent by road to Scotland in diesel tankers. Also I’m told, for reasons I don’t quite understand, that when in operation it will belch out large quantities of methane, which is a greater threat to global temperatures then CO2. Can anybody confirm that? Looks like a national embarrassment for Scotland now also a farce.
