@RussellFindlay1 @Kat_Bee_123 Scotland has a proud history in the armed forces. Our regiments were feared and respected throughout history and Scotland had the highest percentage serving per capita. This is absolutely appalling and a shameful betrayal of our country’s brave men and women.

The SNP and Greens have refused to grant the freedom of Glasgow to the Royal Regiment of Scotland. Petty posturing by ignorant politicians who hate our great country's heroic armed forces. Even worse, in the same week, John Swinney crassly defended cosying up to Sinn Fein.

Astonishing that @GlasgowCC has voted to deny the @The_SCOTS Freedom of the City of Glasgow, breaking a tradition that Glasgow has had for generations. Apparently giving organisations Freedom of the City is “inherently problematic” according the Glasgow SNP group.

@SeannachaidhS Interesting. I’d never considered this. As a Glasgow born son of Gaelic speaking parents I never had a problem with Scots (even tho I don’t speak it). I feel it is distinctively Scottish. Although, for me, Gaelic is everything to Scotland’s soul.

Scotland. A nation created through the amalgamation of Celtic Picts, Scots and Britons with Scottish Gaelic (the first Lingua Scotica) as the sole living linguistic representative of their common Celtic origins - a Celtic nation, among Celtic sister nations. Or Scotland, the mere northern "variant" of Germanic England, a land of "Anglo-Saxon speech which was the tongue of the great Scots civilization"? While both languages must be honoured, a nation only gets one soul, and only one of these origin stories can be true. Ireland and Wales have already realised that. As "Braid Scots" is increasingly asserted in Scotland as "THE tongue" of "Scots civilisation", as "YOUR language", and THE "Mither Tongue", it may be that we will need to make a choice in coming years regarding which story we accept and - as an elder nation within the Celtic world - the choice we make won't affect us alone. We need only look at the Ulster Unionist's weaponisation of the "Scots" language against Gaelic to realise that. It seems we are making that choice and embracing our Celtic origins and our Celtic brethren in the pursuit of joint freedom. But time will truly tell. x.com/i/status/20238…

And this Germanic supremacist claim seemed like a perfectly acceptable thing to post? That the 'Scots' language, a "variation of the Anglo-Saxon speech" was "the tongue of the great Scots civilisation"? In one fell swoop the Celtic and Gaelic origins of the Scottish people and Scotland itself are swept away as nonexistent in the claim that Anglo-Saxon language and culture alone are responsible for any "great Scots civilization"? Breathtaking arrogance by the writer and breathtaking lack of awareness in posting his words proudly.

@Art4PalestineUK If the public think that it’s been “influenced” again, it will be another huge PR own goal.

BBC presenter Justin Webb #R4Today on the genocidal Israeli regime's efforts to 'influence' the Eurovision vote: "There doesn't seem to be anything illegal or particularly underhand; they just suffered this extraordinary attack on October 7th, these awful things done to Jews...🧵

A NYT investigation found a well-organized campaign by Israeli govt that embraced #Eurovision as a soft power tool, and a secretive contest organizer ill-equipped to respond. Israel’s efforts to influence Eurovision’s vote broader & started years earlier 🧵nytimes.com/2026/05/11/wor…

QUESTION: Out of 10, how stupid was Starmer’s strategy to alienate most of the progressives in the country, particularly the young and all those that are decent & humane enough to be appalled at the GENOCIDE in Gaza? My ANSWER: 10 out of 10

@seanmcdonald01 Interesting to hear, quite eloquent in my opinion. Coming from Jordanhill most Glaswegians don’t even think I’m from Glasgow🤣

I’m so fascinated by the evolution of how Glaswegians speak. Each decade seems so distinctly different. I can’t even describe the difference, it’s almost the way the words come out of the mouth, as opposed to the pronunciations themselves.

G'day mate! This ripper vid's from a suburb in Queensland, Australia – looks like it kicked off yesterday arvo on the 26th or 27th April. Grey t-shirt legend's some local hero who stepped in, disarmed the drongo with the gun before it turned into a proper shootout, then strolled off like he's nipping to the servo for milk. No one's ID'd him yet, but his balls? Mate, they're absolute bloody unit size – bigger than a pair of XXXL footies. Fair dinkum legend! 🇦🇺
