You need to stop allowing others to call you British, simply do not accept it.
You are Scottish not British. A supporter of Scottish independence living in your Scottish homeland.
Shut them down, accept no bull shit, ignore their feelings like they ignore yours.
If they ask you what it says on your passport tell them you do not have one. Leave them no way to continue their nonsense.

I was banned on FFXIV for Aggressive comments and behavior against others during twitch streams. I was not aware the ToS applied to outside of game as long as ANY FFXIV copyright content was visible. I was not given any details about the ban other than that. More details later.

If this is how they treat Europeans under the full glare of the media spotlight, can you imagine how they brutalise Palestinians who are in their jails - some of them children - who are hidden away from cameras.

TW: This footage shows activists who were taking part in a flotilla to Gaza being brutally assaulted by officials Far-right Israeli security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir – who has been sanctioned by the UK for his comments about Gaza – posted the video, sparking significant backlash

@JohnSwinney International affairs are not part of your remit. Get on with the day job please.

I am deeply appalled by the conduct and rhetoric of Israeli Cabinet minister Itamar Ben-Gvir in relation to the Global Sumud Flotilla.
Scotland stands with the people of Gaza. We need to see more humanitarian aid coming in, and every effort must be made to secure lasting peace.

The awful murders at an Islamic centre in San Diego is shocking but not surprising.
Hatred towards Muslims has been normalised and often goes unchallenged.
We can then hardly be surprised when hateful rhetoric turns deadly.
We need our allies to speak up & stand alongside us.

I regret to inform you that we will be publishing a detailed analysis this week of the £5m payment to Nigel Farage, and whether it's taxable. It is likely to annoy *everybody*.
(except tax advisers, which is all that matters)

Britain is now only just above Russia and Hungary on trans rights.
We are below Armenia, Romania, Kosovo, Turkey, Serbia and Belarus.
The anti-trans movement has, for now, won a decisive victory in Britain.
It will not last.
This historic injustice will be rectified.

A cause for national shame. This is the Rainbow Map for LGBTI+ rights across Europe. Until 2015, the UK was top. We've now collapsed down the rankings - and are the worst in Western Europe. We're now near Albania.

Shameful
A young minority politician - who has broken no rules - is elected. Days after their election such is the abuse they suffer they have to be escorted by additional security staff.
Those who have led the pile on to Q Manivannan should take a long hard look at themselves.

If thats how we’re doing it, I lived in a 300 bedroom house in my first year of uni….

It's been revealed that far-left Green party leader Zack Polanski is currently living in a £2m, 5-bedroom townhouse. It’s strange how once you become well known in the political circle, you suddenly seem to become wealthy. 🤨

On the phone to @netflix as it will not let me watch Netflix from my Hotel. There is a software error stopping me. They tried to trouble shoot and then said ‘sorry it’s not working’ try again tomorrow.
I explained that’s not good enough as I pay for this service.
They hung up.

@Heccles94 We struggle with providing for everyone who is already here and your solution, apparently, is to import more?

Farage likes rich foreigners, he just hates poor ones.
When will the poor people of the UK realise he feels the same way about them?

@mohammedIhysse Lmao. What a retard.

I remembered a moment before this war…
Whenever the Israeli army invaded my town, Beit Hanoun, my friends and I would run into the streets and throw stones toward the soldiers.
They fired bullets at us, while we had nothing but stones in our hands.
I knew that a stone was nothing compared to a weapon, but because it was my land… I felt that the stone was stronger than bullets.
That is why I never stopped.
We fought with whatever we had, throwing those stones as if we were defending everything we loved. 💔

Man makes a mistake over council tax on a boat and apologises and is paying it back (and rightly so).
(Boat council tax depends on your mooring and how often you are there, it’s not as straight forward)
It would be about £1,000 a year
Meanwhile, Farage’s Stamp duty would have been 10s of thousands. He continues to dodge questions about it and his £5,000,000 donations, has never apologised and will never pay anything back ever. Gutter press are raking through Zack’s bins before reporting on Farage.

Congratulated Scotland’s First Minister on his landslide victory in yesterday’s election.
John has delivered for the SNP, and will continue to deliver for Scotland too.
I can’t wait to get to work as the new MSP for Aberdeen Deeside and North Kincardine.

The Koh-i-Noor wasn’t “gifted”
It was taken by the British Empire..It belongs in India, where generations could learn their own history without needing a passport and a flight to London to see it. 💎
