@BBCRadioScot Janey Godley put it best.

Donald Trump flies into Scotland later to visit two golf resorts which he owns in the country where his mother was born. The trip is exceptional as US presidents rarely promote their personal interests so publicly while in office. What’s your message for President Trump?

@bridgegaplarge @ruth_wishart That can be done at Troon, without filling the pockets of a gangster.

@ruth_wishart You do know it’s been held in Turnberry before ? You’d think you’d be glad it was in that area to boost tourism and spending ?

Bad enough that they've arranged for a fresh bout of bowing and scraping with a second state visit, but holding The OPEN at Trump Turnberry is surely a grovel too far.

@4thxjuly @ruth_wishart @TheOpen @realDonaldTrump @TrumpTurnberry Like Trump's penis - it is simply not big enough. The crowds are much larger now since the last time it held the Open. Ayrshire does quite nicely out of it being held at much more suitable Troon. We should all be doing handbrake spins on Turnberry in stolen Teslas.

Brilliant course Turnberry and deserves 100% to be on @TheOpen rota. Great for the folk on the west coast of Scotland where jobs and money coming in definitely’Trumps’ your small minded inward looking comments on Golf. More power to @realDonaldTrump and @TrumpTurnberry and I hope they are back on the Open rota full time ✔️

Chris Patten has just murdered the party of which he was Chairman. It’s all in here - the bilge of Brexit, the worst foreign policy error ever made, and the insanity of the right wing cult’s grip on this once great political machine. Pure gold, spread it.

@TalkingPicsTV @markwhite61 Marvellous!

@markwhite61 @TalkingPicsTV I didn't open this place for dirty old men Budgie. This is an Ert Cinema. Isn't that right Mrs Endell?

It's just a 12-bar, but there's a moment at ~1:30 into this vid where we all make the same choice at the same time and it is those moments that make musical life worth living. Happy 15th birthday to the @theellington for earlier this month. What a room. 🥰 #mohippa #perthisok #SamNafie #BenVanderwal #BrodieStewart #HarryWinton #KarlFlorisson 🎥Sam Reeves

Looking forward to new @AcornTV crime series, Sausage & Mash in which gourmand-turned-private-eye Gus Sausage (Pete Doherty) helps louche revue-bar magician "Flinty" Mash (Carl Bârat) to find out answers about his female assistant's mysterious death.

@PeterArnottGlas They did some amazing work backing Eddie Boyd too. youtube.com/watch?v=rfsVuK…

Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac made a record with Otis Spann in 1969 that is one of things that makes the universe better IMO youtube.com/watch?v=VgQA5A…
