@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

@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.

@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

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.

"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

@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.

Scotland hasn’t voted for a right wing government since 1955 Yet since then we have spent 47 years under right wing rule Now we are facing being ruled by a far right UK Party…. despite voting overwhelmingly for a socialist party. Do you blame us for seeking Independence?

@__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

Alastair Campbell has just accused me of having 'extreme views'... Starting an illegal war based on a pack of lies causing the unnecessary death of so many British soldiers is the extreme position, in my view. I just want my country back - there's nothing 'extreme' about that.

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

Watching this Man U v Leeds game I wonder are players in the Premier league as individually talented as they were a decade ago🤔 I don’t see many innovative off the cuff performers who can unzip defences. Set pieces and penalty box wrestling are in creativity is out
