@SirSimonClarke They have held it because Scotland can see the alternatives of Tories, Greens or Labour would be worse for the country. Until SNP have full power in Scotland we will always have a party we didn’t vote for controlling things. SNP didn’t take power, they took over some powers.

No child alive today has been raised in anything other than an SNP run Scotland. They took power when Tony Blair was the UK PM and have held it ever since. Education standards have slumped. Europe’s worst drug epidemic ruins lives. Taxes are much higher than any part of the UK. And Brian Cox thinks *more* of their rule is what Scotland needs 🤯

“We have always been at war with Eastasia.” George Orwell wrote that line in his famous novel, 1984, to describe how governments rewrite history in real time. In the novel, yesterday’s ally becomes today’s enemy, and the past is simply edited to match the present. Newspapers are changed, records destroyed, and anything that contradicts the current narrative disappears into what Orwell called the memory hole. The point Orwell was making was simple but chilling. If you control the past, you control how people understand the present. And if you control the present, you control the future. Which brings us to #Ukraine. Here we are showing a video from 2014, when ITV News Europe Editor James Mates reported on a day of violence in the eastern Ukrainian city of Mariupol. It is unlikely ITV will be replaying this report anytime soon, because it complicates the very simple story we are now told about Ukraine’s recent history. The war did not suddenly appear in 2022 out of nowhere. It began in 2014, after the overthrow of Ukraine’s government amid Western-backed unrest, with US politicians like John McCain on the ground supporting opposition forces. What followed was eight years of civil war in Eastern Ukraine. Shelling, civilian deaths, and refugees fleeing Donetsk, Luhansk, and Mariupol were reported by Western media at the time. This is not Russian propaganda. It is their footage. These are their reports. The truth is simple. The Ukrainian civil war ran for eight years. It ended on February 24th 2022, when Russia crossed the border and turned it into an international war. This is why old news reports matter. They are pieces of history that cannot easily be rewritten once people have seen them. Orwell understood this perfectly. “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.” So when certain parts of history quietly disappear from the conversation, when timelines suddenly begin at convenient political moments, it is always worth paying attention. Because the memory hole is not just a device in a novel. It is how propaganda works. @PaulKnaggs , @Labourheartland

@Harrisbro777 But Trump said himself he doesn’t need NATO and the NY times seem to think the A in NATO stands for America when it is actually Atlantic. Maybe the US should learn to play nice with others and learn facts instead of bullying their way to liberate natural resources.

FRANCE JUST SIDED WITH RUSSIA AND CHINA AGAINST THE US AT THE UN France is a NATO ally. A NATO ally just blocked an American resolution at the United Nations. Alongside Russia. Alongside China. The Strait of Hormuz carries 20% of the world's oil. Iran has shut it down for US and Israeli ships. Nobody at the UN will authorize force to reopen it. Not even America's own ally. Hours after France blocked the vote, Iran let a French ship through the strait. France cut a deal with Iran behind America's back. Let that sink in.

@AjaTheEmpress No legitimate trans woman aka born man who claims gender dysphoria or who takes offence at being misgendered would put their junk out on display unless that individual was a liar, a pervert, a narcissist or all the above.

This Ethel Cain situation is wild. If you don’t know, he’s a man pretending to be a woman who posted a photo of his cock and balls on Instagram — a classic pervert move. Of course, plenty of people are defending him because “trans.” What I find frustrating are those who can clearly see the behaviour is wrong and perverted, yet still insist on calling him “she” and “her.” Please stop gaslighting yourself and insulting women by indulging this fantasy. You saw HIS penis HE is a pervert Never forget that when you call these men "she/her" you are engaging in verbal fellatio.

@Yarlfrostfist @babybeginner Dysphoric men wanting to be women wouldn’t put their junk on display like that. Only perverts and narcissistic freaks would do these things.

@babybeginner Majority also don't have dysphoria it's a fetish to be in those spaces Shouldn't have to be tolerated

I wish. This is the place I have to start with most conversations on this topic. Most people have no idea. 90-95% keep the franks and beans. This is why there is such a backlash when these guys come in our space.

@babybeginner Bitch puhlease! Claims gender dysphoria, wears tight clothing to accentuate the dick. Cries when called a man and says “it’s a literal genocide!”. Nah bro, just keep your dick to yourself, no one wants to see that shit you perverted freak.

@echetus Americans saying things like this are the reason the rest of the world doesn’t take the USA seriously.

Sorry babe. My boss says we we can’t see each other any more

What do you call this look?

@ThomasSowell Sports bras aren’t exclusive to females.

"If my government still sees me as a man, then why do I have to wear a sports bra"

@bigsnow_o @ABC His skin colour is visible in the video. You’re just being racist.

@ABC What goes through someone's mind to make him do something like this? Have they released a name and picture of the guy, because I'm sure we all know that he'll be white don’t we

@AlbariqiMohd @InternetH0F Underpaying staff breaches that trust.

From the viewpoint of a seasoned HR specialist: While the calculation mistake is evident and must be corrected internally without delay, the completely overlooked issue is the employee’s sharing of official internal correspondence outside the workplace. Actions like this erode trust between employer and employee and breach fundamental principles of privacy and confidentiality. In my personal opinion, she should undergo a disciplinary review, as this does not reflect the expected level of professional behavior from any staff member.

@HazelAppleyard Who tf eats chocolate to cry? Personally I eat chocolate after being sad or crying because it literally boosts serotonin levels. I think he confused the symptoms he read on reddit…

Awwww, he’s on his period. Bless him.

@sappholives83 It’s been about 20 years but I remember this being a really enjoyable read

Can anyone recommend me a good book either about or set in medieval Europe? Alternate history, non-fiction, and historical fiction are all welcome. I get these obsessions with different historical periods, and right now I’m stuck in the Middle Ages, having already explored WWII, the USSR under Stalin and into the Kruschev thaw, the American Civil War, and the Russian revolution. I know that’s not a long list, but I’ve read fairly exhaustively on each subject over the course of three or four years. I’d appreciate any suggestions, including books written in the medieval period, provided there’s an English translation.

@Lucillalin3 @Bharatpatekpji @FantasyWorldW1 The guy posted this from India yet forgot Bollywood is a thing too

@Bharatpatekpji @FantasyWorldW1 Yet Japanese, Korean and Chinese drama is popular all over the world.

Star Wars actor John Boyega explained why he doesn’t watch Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones in 2017: “There are no Black people in Game of Thrones,” he said. “You don’t see one Black person in Lord of the Rings. I ain’t paying money to always see one type of person on-screen. Thoughts?

@Bharatpatekpji @FantasyWorldW1 How much has diversity affected Bollywood? Do they have black, white or eastern Asian actors?

He’s highlighting a longstanding issue in mainstream fantasy and blockbuster media: representation matters. Seeing oneself reflected on screen isn’t just about inclusion—it shapes identity, belonging, and inspiration. When entire worlds like Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones largely erase Black people, it sends a subtle but harmful message: “You don’t belong in these epic stories.” Boyega’s refusal to engage with that erasure is a stand for authenticity and visibility—a reminder that media should reflect the richness of the real world, not just one narrow slice.

@Gaynotqueer1 Anyone would look at you like you’re a weirdo if you’re dancing around talking to yourself in a public toilet - male or female . Bro didn’t have a problem with the trans person being there, he was more like wtf is happening here?

Man films himself in men's restroom.

@Hontas_Farmer @HazelAppleyard Piercings can get nasty and can smell rotten if not taken care of properly. Tunnels/spacers are even worse, the bigger the hole the worse the smell unless you clean them constantly. Infections cause the holes to close fully. Not sure this analogy paints the picture intended.

13 days out from a major surgery there is blood. There was with me too. It is a good sign that there is good blood flow. The problem is people who are not trans think this either heals into a big scab or closes over like a gouge in skin etc. No. The closest analogy would be to a piercing.

Jesus Christ.

@babybeginner When mine lie down like that it’s usually a trap because they want to play fight. Do you have any wand toys or could you make one with a stick and some string? I get the feeling he would enjoy some playing too.

Lest anyone who thinks my pink gloves of petting are silly with Bruiser, wait for it…. I’m so GLAD I was wearing them!! He’s been letting me pet him while he was lying down for quite a while now. See yesterday’s post. After this he was surly all day. Two steps forward..

@Skint_Eastwood1 Queen!

🚨Young Girl in Full PANIC as Migrant Demands Her Number – Brave Local Woman Steps Up and ROASTS Him! In Springburn Park Glasgow, a young girl was left in full panic after an African migrant allegedly followed her, getting too close and repeatedly demanding her phone number. Thank God this fearless Scottish lady stepped in, no hesitation, straight-talking, and zero tolerance for his predatory nonsense. She called him out, warned him to stay away from young girls (and herself), and promised to alert the whole park community. 👏🏻

@DartPip @ThePureDrop @andysayshi1 @Heccles94 Why not? Girls made their own groups when boys wouldn’t let them in scouts. Scouts only went mixed sex because of failing numbers and desperation to stay afloat. Trans kids can either join mixed sex groups or make their own group. It’s what real women would and did do.

@ThePureDrop @andysayshi1 @Heccles94 So the trans kids should have their own tiny little “trans guides/scouts” program? Is that what you’re suggesting? They should just be segregated from their peers because a minority of transphobic adults don’t like them being around other kids?

Can someone tell me how banning trans children from girl guides protects women’s safety?
