David Clark @david-k-clark.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Scotland should have won that game, but the second half showed real progress nevertheless. Not seen them play with that kind of attacking intent for a long time. More please! 030
David Clark @david-k-clark.bsky.social · 26/09/2026“So many magical moments” says BBC commentator of Steve Clarke’s time as Scotland manager. I can think of a handful during a long stretch of otherwise dismal anti-football. Mostly I remember his lack of imagination and his loyalty to players and tactics that failed repeatedly. Not missed by me. 240
David Clark @david-k-clark.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Who to believe? A politician with a long track record of being wrong or actual experts in the subject? It’s a tricky one. 2198

David Clark @david-k-clark.bsky.social · 15/09/2026It shouldn’t be forgotten that Galloway was one of the first UK politicians to boast of his involvement with crypto financing.

David Clark @david-k-clark.bsky.social · 11/09/2026There should be a fit and proper persons test for political donations above £1000. Obviously, money launderers wouldn’t qualify. Nor should anyone involved in opaque crypto financing, frankly. We have no real idea where their money ultimately comes from, which is the whole point of it. 042
David Clark @david-k-clark.bsky.social · 10/09/2026We’re going to look back fondly on the time when shit meme art and ridiculous Grok replies were our main reasons for hating AI. 140
David Clark @david-k-clark.bsky.social · 09/09/2026The idea that there is deep intelligence sharing between the UK and Israel is a myth according to people I know who have been closely involved. For example, Mossad is not considered a trustworthy intelligence partner by MI6. There is little of substance to lose, so no real Israeli leverage anyway. 142
David Clark @david-k-clark.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Obama’s biggest mistake by far was his weak response to the first Russian invasion of Ukraine, which greenlit the second Russian invasion eight years later. 092
David Clark @david-k-clark.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Ed Miliband deserves enormous praise for standing up to the bullying of the Israeli government and its supporters. It’s possible to feel proud of Labour on this issue for the first time in many years. 1104
David Clark @david-k-clark.bsky.social · 07/09/2026A gentile lecturing a Jew on how to be Jewish strikes me as quite antisemitic. How do we account for the strange silence of those who claim to care most about these things? 57723
David Clark @david-k-clark.bsky.social · 06/09/2026It’s been 23 years since my last visit to Tynecastle and almost 50 years to the day since my first. A happy return… in the end. 1100
David Clark @david-k-clark.bsky.social · 05/09/2026No arrests. When environmentalists block roads to protest about climate change, they are prosecuted and jailed. When masked fascists do it to promote race hate, they are allowed to go home without a fuss. How about that for two-tier policing? 313152
David Clark @david-k-clark.bsky.social · 05/09/2026What’s the betting the police treat these thugs with kid gloves unlike grannies with Palestine Action placards? 023
David Clark @david-k-clark.bsky.social · 05/09/2026I remember this fondly, but you have to chuckle at the 1975 view of what the world would look like 24 years into the future. It’s now 27 years beyond 1999 and we’re still not living on Moon bases. 240

David Clark @david-k-clark.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Mind all the hand-wringing over the loss of Shankland and Devlin? Would anyone now have them back in exchange for McPake or Miller? Not a chance. 140
David Clark @david-k-clark.bsky.social · 03/09/2026This was the film that moved me the most aged 20. Withnail and I, very much a favourite now, also came out the same year, but I didn’t see it until much later. No Way Out is another very memorable one from that time. 020
David Clark @david-k-clark.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Harry, of course, signed up for frontline combat duty when he didn’t need to, whereas Trump dodged the draft and his kids have never done anything for anyone except themselves. Compared to Harry, Trump and his family are utter trash. 031

David Clark @david-k-clark.bsky.social · 02/09/2026NATO, the EU, France and many other European countries have taken specific diplomatic and other measures against Russia in response to this attack. I haven’t seen it reported yet, but I hope the UK government will too, because solidarity is an essential part of deterrence. 010

David Clark @david-k-clark.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Firstly, when exactly did finance redeem itself? Secondly, tech is about to eat finance for breakfast because it’s full of even nastier & more immoral tossers than finance, and it seems there’s absolutely no one in a position of power willing to stop them. Hard not to laugh at the FT’s naivety here. 041
David Clark @david-k-clark.bsky.social · 29/08/2026What are the chances that a high proportion of these “security operatives” turn out to be domestic abusers and/or sex offenders? 070
David Clark @david-k-clark.bsky.social · 29/08/2026That’s a good choice of picture. It does actually look like a leopard has eaten his face. 020
David Clark @david-k-clark.bsky.social · 28/08/2026We were repeatedly told by the Tories that intervention in Bosnia would be risky and costly. When we finally did intervene, the Serbian government and its proxies folded like a pack of cowards. The +200k deaths of innocent Bosnians were completely unnecessary. A stain on our lack of resolve. 010

David Clark @david-k-clark.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Okay, but what counts as Scottish football here? Hearts - the only Scottish club to go through this week - started with 6 Scottish players. Celtic started with 3, Hibs with 2 and Rangers with only 1. Maybe the Scottish part of *Scottish* football isn’t the problem. 340
David Clark @david-k-clark.bsky.social · 27/08/2026I don’t think I’ve enjoyed three consecutive days of football as much in my life. 1111

David Clark @david-k-clark.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Devlin was lucky to get sent off in the first leg, otherwise he’d be the main scapegoat tonight. 010

David Clark @david-k-clark.bsky.social · 20/08/2026The debate about which degrees are valid or not is always bonkers and full of ill-informed prejudice, but fixating on “golf course studies” is bizarre. Golf is a £5bn industry in the UK, requiring a lot of skilled technicians. The qualifications involved are fully vocational. 6324
David Clark @david-k-clark.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Scotland got an enormous profile boost during the World Cup thanks to the Tartan Army (less so the team, unfortunately). It would have been ridiculous for the Scottish government not to be out there exploiting that opportunity to the full. It’s just pathetic to moan about such a paltry expense. 1418025
David Clark @david-k-clark.bsky.social · 20/08/2026I’ve encountered this attitude in personal conversations, always from media folk who feel they have to stay on Twitter for “reach”. They resent the fact that we had a choice that they didn’t feel able to make. The fury comes from feeling abandoned on a platform that has become even more deranged. 3114
David Clark @david-k-clark.bsky.social · 19/08/2026I turned 60 today. I now get an old bastard’s railcard and free prescriptions, apparently. Any other benefits I should know about? License to ruffle the hair of passing children and call everyone “Sonny”? 660
