@HannibalBarcids @owenjonesjourno Mark by the time Hitler was voted in there was no middle classes to speak of. But the only bit you were taught about in school was the Nazi bad thing, and you think you’re enlightened
English

@owenjonesjourno What can you say? Their Middle Classes are as entitled, as self-serving, and as morally bankrupt as they were a century ago.
Maybe more. Because at least back then. No one knew where it might lead.

Now how do we stamp out that one Japanese bloke and his Korean mate who is scaling back gardens to 'panty sniff' folks wash line. This clearly is the critical issue!

Germany just released 2025 crime data. Overall, Algerian nationals commit crime at 18x the rate of Germans and nearly 100x the rate of Japanese nationals. 1/11

@AhmedIbrahimUK @PatrickChristys @youreallmad Thats just not true - just about every country in Europe is treating their people with this level of contempt
English

@PatrickChristys @youreallmad Seriously, no one should blame the British people if they turn hard right.
No other government on earth treats its native population with this level of contempt

This is the hotel the illegals were staying in at the time they raped the poor woman.

Look at this horrific little illegal migrant scumbag laughing after being found guilty of repeatedly raping a drunk girl on a beach. This is what we’re importing. I don’t know how the ‘Refugees Welcome’ brigade sleep at night.

@Mschatnoir @Rombodog Must be the director to blame. Didn’t Trainspotting require subtitles in USA?

Finally watching 'I Swear' I struggle with Scottish stuff..because Scots people put on this faux accent when on screen...it's very weird, when acting this totally alternate way of speaking happens...it drives me nuts..
For scenes early 80's...there are diverse people about in film ...(there were not, really really few...some Indian/Pakistanis yes)
he got his hand belted at one point...they certainly were not doing that when I was at school..am 7 years younger than character though
the characters are quite 'nippy' draconian but could be to highlight how the lad struggled and got in trouble..
if you are scottish and want to act...PLEASE learn to drop the acting accent...just talk how you talk, drop the strange affectation and off you go (Karen Gillan, David Tennant, James MacAvoy, Ewan MacGregor nailed it..they don't have the affectation

@Mr_Husky1 What surprises me is people who suffered that much brought out people who do the same thing to others without a thought

She was sixteen when she arrived at Auschwitz. That very night, she was ordered to dance in front of the man who had just sent her mother to die.
Edith Eger arrived at the camp on May 22, 1944, with her family. Josef Mengele stood at the selection line. A single gesture was enough to decide everything.
When it was her mother’s turn, he sent her to the left. Edith tried to follow her. Mengele stopped her. He said she would see her mother again later. It was a lie.
That same evening, he looked for her among the prisoners. He had heard that she was a dancer. He ordered her to perform.
Edith danced.
She closed her eyes and went somewhere else. In her mind, she was no longer there. She was in Budapest, in a theater, with music and an audience. Her body was in the camp. The rest of her was not.
When she finished, Mengele threw her a piece of bread.
She shared it with the other women in the barracks. That act was remembered. Later, one of them helped keep her alive.
Then came everything else.
Auschwitz, forced labor, the transfer to Mauthausen. Finally, the death march to Gunskirchen. Fifty-five kilometers on foot, with no strength left. At one point, Edith collapsed. She could no longer walk.
Two women recognized her. One of them was among those with whom she had shared the bread. Together with her sister Magda, they lifted her and carried her forward.
The camp at Gunskirchen was the final stop. Starvation, bodies everywhere, no medical care.
On May 4, 1945, American soldiers arrived. Edith was lying on the ground among the bodies, still alive. One soldier noticed movement and pulled her out.
She was seventeen years old.
After the war, she returned home. She found her sister Klara again. She tried to rebuild a life. She married, had children, left Hungary, and moved to the United States.
For years, she did not speak about what had happened.
Then she met Viktor Frankl. That encounter changed the course of her life. She returned to school. At the age of fifty, she earned a doctorate in clinical psychology. She began working with people marked by deep trauma.
In 1980, she returned to Auschwitz. She walked through the camp as an adult. She said that there she was finally able to do one specific thing: forgive herself for surviving.
Not those who had harmed her. Herself.
In 2017, she published The Choice. The book reached readers in many countries.
Today, she continues to speak, to work, and to tell her story.
One of the last things her mother said to her while they stood in line at Auschwitz was that no one can take away what you keep in your mind.
Edith Eger built her entire life on that sentence.

@LILMUSTACHEGUY @iamyesyouareno My point is that Americans who don’t even make up a majority of their own country aren’t in a position to slander my country who, unlike America, is making efforts to change course.

@CarterGwynn2 @TruthFairy131 They didn’t, actually. Nor has any western nation invited it

@TruthFairy131 Sweden invited a multi-cultural society. They can't complain that it is affecting their culture.

@Mike_Aether @WiretapMediaCa Scum hope the government's policies hit them the hardest

"It’s Day 4 in the cab. We’ve slept in our tractors, we’ve blocked the depots, and we’ve shut down the city. They think they can wait us out, but they don't realize—our businesses are already dead if we don't get these fuel prices down. We aren't here for a chat; we’re here for a result." ⛽️🛑 #IrelandProtest #StandWithFarmers #Day4

@_DundeePerfect_ @danielgoyal Do the English have any more democracy than us? They have voted against mass migration into their country for generations and still they get flooded in. The EU vote was for their sovereignty and they got punished. Its bigger forces at play and they don’t want anyone independent
English

@danielgoyal What annoys me the most about all this is that if England wanted to go at it alone they would have been separate years ago.... clearly they know they can't afford to be.
It is 'our' Scotland, time we take it back.
Wales wants out as well but nothing gets aimed at them.

@HighlandHistory Looks awfully like the point at the end of Plockton, Wester Ross

Here's #mysteryphoto no. 399. If you recognise where it was taken, please get in touch.
This is a scheduled post as I'm on leave this week. I'll update you on the previous photo, and this one, on Monday when the series will return to its regular twice-weekly slot. Thank you

@Tayluur82 @__YC9__ Merchant city and Finnieston are pretty good too
English

@__YC9__ He's spot on. The city centre is an absolute shit hole. Buchanan Street maybe passes, but you wouldn't venture near Union Street, Sauchiehall Street or Argyle Street
English

Ally McCoist spot on, Glasgow is an absolute dump now.
But yet, people still turn a blind eye to it because it doesn’t suit their narrative, views or even the club they support.

@brazilegend10 @ScotlandNT @scottishkits2 @BeerhuntersTA Is this the game where souness halved their star player, enraging the Icelanders, who then trounced Scotland but for a top drawer performance from Leighton
English

@ForestHills1903 @JimSpenceDundee The wage bill would suggest its the greatest squad they’ve had to date so the comparison is perfectly justified
English

@JimSpenceDundee The United players on the pitch are not a strong squad so it’s probably not a good comparison.
