This episode’s guest is Dr Petra Johana Poncarová, a native speaker of Czech who has become a distinguished scholar of Gaelic literature and an award-winning poet in Gaelic. Her perspective on the Gaelic revival is fresh and utterly unique! 🏴🇨🇿

“Only an industry located so firmly up its own backside could gather to honour a film illustrating the grim realities facing someone living with Tourette’s and then be so publicly aggrieved when the actuality of that illness – and the involuntary nature of its effects on those suffering from it – reveals itself in their midst.”

@newsandpics It might have helped if they'd read the memo...

This isn’t heroic journalism. Press regulator shares message from Mandelson that he won’t be speaking about the developing story. It doesn’t prevent anyone approaching him for comment. It’s not a gagging order. It doesn’t prevent reporting of any allegations. It’s routine admin.

I am so weary of the feelings of these violent manipulative men being centred above those of truly vulnerable women

Fascinating insight into similarities between #Gàidhlig and #Arabic from Ahmad, who, btw, sells the best black olives in #Stornoway.

I've been using ChatGPT5.2 for about a year. But it makes some alarming basic errors, and I'm beginning to think it's even getting worse. What else do you recommend, at a comparable price?

Every year, our lovely German friends send us lovely German wine. Last year, a £20 excise fee slightly spoiled it. This year, the fee has doubled to an unjolly 40 nicker. I guess should ask myself why I need German friends. Couldn't Brits perform this unsavoury task? #brexitland
