Day 1690 and Ukraine woke up incredibly angry this morning. "Used", "betrayed" and "disgusted" just 3 of the words most commonly heard, as the former leader of the free world managed to tarnish the reputation of the U.S. yet more. I've never missed a day. This is the daily 🧵

Imho - It's not just the billionaires greed, its the lack of action by spineless Governments across the world.

IMHO this is one of the best songs ever written. It's achingly beautiful. Mastetful songwriting by Jimmy Webb, brilliantly sung by Glen Campbell.

The ceasefire myth: What Gaza has endured over the past year Despite the so-called "ceasefire" agreed a year ago today, there is still no end in sight to Israel's genocide in Gaza. www.thenational.scot/news/world/2...

The ceasefire myth: What Gaza has endured over the past year

WHEN people outside Gaza hear the word "ceasefire", they understandably imagine an end to violence

The US blacklisted the International Criminal Court on 9 October 2026, just hours after former ICC judge Navi Pillay won the Nobel Peace Prize. Meanwhile, Donald Trump, a convicted criminal, has spent years shamelessly coveting the peace prize.

The media is changing – and that threatens democracy

I noted over this summer that we appeared to be having a traffic downturn on this blog and elsewhere. I discussed this with other people I know who publish online, and also with some people in the mainstream media, and was told that the trend was universal. An increasing alienation...

Errrr, by your logic - a very substantial portion (probably around half) of our population DO want to leave. Maybe we should hold a vote of some kind to settle this?

Simply the most beautiful, most poetic, love song ever written by a rock band. "If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you, When mountains crumble to the sea, There will still be you and me" Thanks for reminding me of it.

I hope that "Do They Know It's Christmas" by Band-Aid would still ignite the same spark of humanity that it did in 1984. But the world seems more cynical, more self-absorbed now than it was in '84. Our collective empathy has been replaced by something not so attractive.

Hey Blade, c'mon up to Scotland.... That country in the UK where: - social care IS ALREADY nationalised - water IS ALREADY nationalised - rail travel IS ALREADY nationalised And more... I'll put the kettle on and have a dram waiting for you...

Andrew Sinclair @bluesprints.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Perhaps get on with actions that help Scotland regain independence. Publicly acknowledge the actions being taken by Salvo. Instruct W'minster MPs to either withdraw or be disruptive. Publish a plan for currency, tax, pensions, energy. There's probably a whole lot more that could be done

Oh, and Andy Burnham said that all these things could only happen *after* the next election didn't he? Yet we already have them in Scotland. (Sound fx: a can clattering down the road.) C'mon up. I'll put the kettle on and have a dram waiting for you. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

May I be so bold as to invite you all up to Scotland. Y'know that country in the UK where: - elections are by PR (except W'minster) - the water company is a public company - train services are nationalised - personal care is free Cast your attention to Scotland, not Burnham's Not-really-North.
