ℹ️ From 1 July this year ScotRail is introducing a £10 minimum fare for people who purposely board without a valid ticket. If that’s you, then use the next three months to get into the habit of buying a ticket before you board one of our trains. Staff will be reminding you about this throughout an education period until July, so nobody will be charged until then. Check out all the details, including exemptions, in this article. scotrail.co.uk/about-scotrail…

The photo shows Joachim Peiper shaking hands with A.H. during a meeting. Joachim Peiper was known for his absolute loyalty to A.H. and the empire. When he was arrested and sentenced to death by hanging, he did not offer a defense like others; he simply said, "My life has no meaning anymore because the empire and its leader are no more. I am a Nazi and will remain a Nazi." He only served 10 years in prison due to the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States. After his release, he tried to reintegrate into society, but due to his past service to the empire, he was ostracized. He moved to France, where he was discovered to be part of the empire and had committed crimes. People shot at him and set fire to his house.

@TimurNegru Yup. In 1973 my 1st car was a 1965 mini. So brake pads, alternator, wiper motor, plugs etc all changed sometimes with parts from scrappy.

@JimMonaghan10 I object to religion in schools equally, I don’t believe children should be separated at age 5.

Let's be clear. There are no secular state schools in Scotland. Non Denominational schools are Christian schools. Those who hold this position dont object to religion in schools, they object to Catholicism in schools.

Reform’s faith school row has reignited after a Holyrood candidate told a hustings it was “a shame” parents choose denominational schools for their children. It comes after Lord Offord u-turned on his “sectarian” school comments. scotsman.com/news/politics/…

@VoicesofWW2 It’s highly likely that Speer created a paper trail which he could use to distance himself from the Nazis. Not all of that paper trail actually made it’s way anywhere other than his own files.

ALBERT SPEER Hitler minister of arms "My duty was to tell Hitler that from the point of view of armament, the war was lost, and I did so in several reports, the hardest of which was that of March 19, 1945, in which he said very abruptly that the war would end in Four or six weeks, which later turned out to be a correct estimate. And that now it was necessary, at the last minute, to do everything possible to help the German people in this situation that depends solely on the Germans. Obviously, he knew what was in the report. "Then he told me that there was no need to think of the future of the German people, those who were brave were dead, and those who survived would be cowards." Notes Taken From The Book: "A World At War" by Richard Holmes. 📖 Photograph: 📷 U.S. soldiers examine a destroyed German Panther tank in front of the Cathedral of Cologne, Germany - March 1945.

How many people can say they still have friends from 30-40 years ago?

@pieandbov Thanks for that. Heartening that there hasn’t been any diving for 13 years! I agree with the ban however I think the authorities have made a rod for their own back here.

@DrHelenFry The fact that my parents met at RAF Scampton in 1944. In fact if it wasn‘t for WW2 I wouldn’t be here!

We can confirm that following a SFA hearing, Callum Slattery has been handed a four-match suspension, two of which are suspended. We will watch and expect consistency going forward so that Callum isn’t treated differently to any players who are accused of simulation. 📝 bit.ly/3NZM8b6
