I wrote a couple of western novels a few years back. Sadly out of print now. Fervent believer in independence for Scotland. I am spone to proonerisms - er, prone to spoonerisms.

When Jesus healed the sick, he didn’t ask for a deductible. When he fed the hungry, he didn’t price gouge for a profit. When the Hebrew prophets saw corruption, they spoke truth to power. When I take on this corrupt system, I’m doing it on biblical grounds.

Trump flew to Tennessee for an easy Saturday afternoon in a state he’s won three times, and a stadium full of football fans booed him. He pumped his fist at the Jumbotron and left at halftime. Back in Washington, Rep. Steve Cohen filed 26 articles of impeachment laying out the case against him

Why is the PM-in-waiting opposed to doing the right, fair and democratic thing? #Scotland #Burnham #UKLabour #IndependenceIsNormal
Why is it so difficult for Unionists to say . .
“Yes, let’s have a referendum and if Scotland votes for independence we’ll leave an open invitation to welcome Scotland back if it changes its mind in the future.” Wouldn’t that be an honest and humane way of dealing with this whole issue?

We vote for an indyref but Westminster says no. In May Scots rejected Labour's plans for nuclear & city mayors but we may still have them forced on us. Elections in Scotland are becoming meaningless. The media presents this as a challenge for the SNP but it's really a crisis in Scottish democracy.

No, Laura. It’s not “Antifa.” It was Patriot Front, a white nationalist organization. They covered their faces because they’re cowards who don’t want to be identified. We’ve been saying for over a year that ICE officers shouldn’t be allowed to wear masks either. They are cowards also.
