A thread on the SNP and the two-child limit.

Jewish charity ambulances are being torched in the UK. This didn’t happen in a vacuum. It follows years of media distortion, NGO campaigning, and political rhetoric - that has spread lies, demonised Israel and normalised hostility towards Jews. So spare us the shock.

Celebration, how did we get here ,snp voters

First article in major US media covering how Hamas & PIJ terrorists posed as journalists & healthcare workers. I'm quoted. Everyone already knows this to be true, but the hard evidence is coming out every day. By @BWBailey85 ⬇️ foxnews.com/world/analysts…

What was with all that “death to America” stuff?

@ariaclast @v_j_freeman Perfect comparison. About the right size as well. Just needs a bit of red on top.

@v_j_freeman I’ve not watched it yet but from what I’ve seen the Dunk character is the exact thing I have in mind when I picture Corporal Carrot from the Discworld novels. Who also has a really great arc.

Just finished Knight of the Seven Kingdoms & obviously loved it. Totally unoriginal observation I’m sure but Ser Dunk was very Samwise Gamgee. Daniel Ings & Bertie Carvel both ate up the screen. Marvellous turns.

@v_j_freeman It was very good. Also the transition from light hearted banter to "OH GOD, HE SWITCHED SIDES!" was brutal.

Complete crackpots.

@CoughsOnWombats @GreatAbysmal Exactly.

@GreatAbysmal You really have a remarkable talent for voices. I can hear all of this in my head, it's note-perfect. Thank you for making me laugh yet again today, fren. 🙂

Jim Hacker: Humphrey, we have to do something about Iran. Sir Humphrey Appleby: Prime Minister, the government is already doing a great deal. Jim Hacker: Such as? Sir Humphrey Appleby: Monitoring developments, coordinating with allies, reviewing contingency plans and expressing concern. Jim Hacker: That all sounds like nothing, Humphrey. Sir Humphrey Appleby: On the contrary, Prime Minister. In diplomacy it is vital to appear active without becoming involved. Jim Hacker: The Americans are bombing things, the Iranians are firing missiles, the Strait of Hormuz is practically closed and we’re… appearing active? Sir Humphrey Appleby: Precisely. Jim Hacker: Innocent people are dying, Humphrey! Sir Humphrey Appleby: Yes, Prime Minister. That is why the Foreign Office is drafting a very strongly worded statement about it. Jim Hacker: A statement won’t stop a war. Sir Humphrey Appleby: No, Prime Minister, but it will ensure that we are on record as having been extremely concerned while it was happening. Bernard Woolley: If I may, Prime Minister — the Cabinet Office has identified six possible courses of action. Jim Hacker: Good! What are they? Bernard Woolley: We can condemn the escalation, call for restraint, urge negotiations, support our allies, assist defensive operations or participate directly. Jim Hacker: And what do they recommend? Sir Humphrey Appleby: Supporting our allies. Jim Hacker: That sounds suspiciously like participating. Sir Humphrey Appleby: Oh no, Prime Minister. Participating means fighting. Supporting merely means allowing others to fight from places that technically belong to us. Jim Hacker: Humphrey, if Iranian missiles hit one of our bases, we’ll be in the war anyway! Sir Humphrey Appleby: Yes, Prime Minister, but we shall have entered it with the invaluable diplomatic advantage of being surprised. Bernard Woolley: It’s generally considered the safest way to enter a war, Prime Minister. Jim Hacker: How on earth can that be safe? Sir Humphrey Appleby: Because if the war goes badly, we can say we never meant to join it. And if it goes well, we can say we were there all along.

"Those unarmed protesters it murdered were coming straight at the heavily armed men"

@theSNP That’s simply because a) you’ve sold our renewables off on the cheap to foreign governments who are charging us a fortune to get the energy back, b) are against nuclear power, which has reduced electricity costs in Finland by 75%! You’re the reason we have high electricity costs!

When I visit towns in France or the Netherlands, I don't see the same urban rot. It is almost as if the internet and online shopping are not the real issues, but something deeper in the structure of the British economy, planning, local government and tax systems.

@Lairdysnr @theSNP They heard that elderly care was free. They heard that uni was free for all students. They heard school kids get a few laptop and bike. They heard the snp were competent. They're in for a real shocker.

Here's a question for the unionists. If Scotland is so shit, why do people from the rest of the uK keep moving here? That's right: 🌟BECAUSE IT'S NOT ABOUT THE LEVEL OF TAX, IT'S ABOUT VALUE RECEIVED FOR TAX.🌟 @theSNP - doing a great job! #ScottishIndependence2026 #VoteIndy

Simply reprehensible. I can't believe that a Member of the Scottish Parliament would advocate for such action against members of our armed forces. Why people like Maggie hate our country so much?

I was just trying to film my baby's first crawl but my dog did this...

I know a chap who could have done this for a couple of grand and even then he would have felt he was pushing his luck with the price.

I think SGG has been hacked.

"Thousands of Iranians were murdered, women were raped and beaten to death for having their hair uncovered and gay men were publicly hanged but that's a price I'm willing for others to pay"

@murrayf00te Remind me again how many Scottish civil servants live just over the border?

Remember we were told everyone earning a few bob would bugger off to Berwick because of Scottish income tax rates …
