I wonder if the issue is 1st vote SNP, 2nd vote Green folk being under or over represented?

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after. Sahar Delijani, Iranian author

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.

I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.

Sahar Delijani said it best:

And they wonder why people are going back to sailing the 7 seas...

That better be without ads, istg!

I can't accept the WandaVision slander! That show got me through the 2nd lockdown

They really dropped the ball by killing Roxy. She was a guaranteed vote for James, while Faraaz was probably not going to be voted out and wouldn't keep either of them in

I'm so sad the Celtic union is falling apart, but this is such an iconic way for it to do so!
If Fiona goes, that could provide cover for Stephen as she was in the library 5

I love the pics of all the "Scottish" Labour MPs stood in front of English flags. You cannae make it up!

Do you mean Matt... the Northern Irish guy?

It’s time for the world to Boycott, Divest and Sanction the U.S
Avoid the Olympics, World Cup and other sporting events. There’s no reason to celebrate the 250 birthday of this fallen nation

I hate to say it, but we need to boycott the World Cup while the USA still hosts it

Stop blaming refugees... for problems caused by billionaires. Scottish Greens.

Migrants didn't cut council funding.
Migrants didn't raise energy bills.
Migrants didn't close community centres.

Know what would help solve Scotland’s problems? Taxing the super-rich and building an affordable country for all.

I've always wanted to use Nebula, but what's stopping me is that you can only pay for it in (US?) dollars. It makes it feel like it's for Americans (I assume) only, despite all the Brits, and it means I'd have hidden, fluctuating conversion costs on my end as a consumer

Le Comte de Monté Cristo is a good slow burn. It's worth reading the og French if you can!

Seems counter-intuitive considering the amount of big businesses on the site. Can't imagine the BBC getting an employee to do community posts from their phone

Well, the sea is long since evaporated down here… But that hasn’t stopped every cockroach coming out to enjoy the glorious blood-red sun hovering ten feet above the ground. Great news for Ian Cockroach here, who sells ice creams How’s business Ian? IAN COCKROACH. LEANING OUT OF AN ICE CREAM VAN: I’m on fire [IAN COCKROACH CATCHES FIRE] DAVE COCKROACH: Ha ha!

hottest day of the year

Is the BBC giving too much airtime to Reform UK? With me in the studio to discuss this are Nigel Farage, Richard Tice, Lee Anderson and Sarah Pochin.

Reform are panicking about people pointing out that they want to replace the NHS. So please don't share this clip of Nigel Farage saying he'd rather healthcare was done through insurance companies.

It's not the population figures, it's the fact they're referring to the UK🇬🇧 but calling it England🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. It's like referring to Spain but calling it Castille, or referring to the US but calling it California

Guess where I went to Aachen!
Only city I've actually been to in Germany, and the last time was almost exactly a year before!

Do you think this will finally cause a crackdown on Social Media to reduce misinformation? We've known about this exploit for arguably a decade, yet governments seem unwilling to fix the root of the problem. Instead, they just complain about foreign interference, reducing confidence in democracy

Nah, it'll be underrated until the day it's been played and appreciated by everyone and everything, whether living, dead, or yet to be born

I'm at that level of clumsiness where I manage to do things previously thought of as impossible.
Case and point: today I lost my metro card in the tiny gap the barriers open into🥴

Not really... Reading and listening are both different cognitive skills. When you listen to an audiobook, your brain processes the information differently to when you're reading the words on the page. Do they both count as reading, no. Are they both equally valid ways to consume literature, yes!

Apparently, there's a Kreg cutting about somewhere...
I am not him. I am Craig.
