Donald @dwmacleod.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Did you know she was in a movie with Ruth Ellis, last woman hanged in Britain? I just found that out and it’s bizarre. 010

Donald @dwmacleod.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Just wait for it to go bust and then no compensation is due. 000
Donald @dwmacleod.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Yeah, it’s being rewritten so that it’s a more positive story with people being visionary. 000
Donald @dwmacleod.bsky.social · 03/10/2026It strikes me as filler. I’m guessing they had the shape of ending the whole series sketched out a good while ago, who has to die, which of the other characters from TOS we meet, when and how, etc. And then as ever tv execs said they wanted an additional series cos money, and lo and behold, pish. 210
Donald @dwmacleod.bsky.social · 01/10/2026The awkward fact that people don't talk about is that the thing that kicked off the regeneration of Manchester was the IRA blowing up the Arndale Centre. 110
Donald @dwmacleod.bsky.social · 01/10/2026The Welsh D'Hondt system used additional member constituencies so they were double suzed. Pretty pointless. Scot parliament constituencies are better sized. 000
Donald @dwmacleod.bsky.social · 01/10/2026The UK already uses the D'Hondt system in devolved nations. It is a good system, maintaining local links, and giving broad proportionality while keeping the most lunatic fringes out. The commission should take very serious consideration of the experiences from devolved nations but I doubt it will. 100

Donald @dwmacleod.bsky.social · 26/09/2026If Peter Kyle had pulled his finger out and not waited so long to publish an industrial strategy, I might be able to take him seriously. 000
Donald @dwmacleod.bsky.social · 24/09/2026That's not Burnham. Or his govt. What has been done about the group encouraging the action to circumvent law and order? And to prevent the RNLI from operating? 010
Donald @dwmacleod.bsky.social · 24/09/2026He said some things a fortnight ago. What has he actually done? There are organised groups attempting to prevent the rule of law and stopping emergency services from operating. What has he and his govt actually done? 010
Donald @dwmacleod.bsky.social · 24/09/2026So why hasn't he implemented the domestic terror powers his government has? 220
Donald @dwmacleod.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Eldritch horror Gove and Drunk Phil are both superb creations 010

Donald @dwmacleod.bsky.social · 18/09/2026How many subjects are withdrawn completely, and how many of these are joint degrees? 000
Donald @dwmacleod.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I know some of these arseholes want to go back to the fifties but is a remake of Passport to Pimlico really what's needed. 010
Donald @dwmacleod.bsky.social · 15/09/2026The difference with inheritance tax is its seen as a tax on assets rather than transactions. Our system prefers to tax transactions (wages, purchases, etc) and leave assets alone, and although most people couldn't actually identify and express that, I think subconsciously it's how it's viewed 010
Donald @dwmacleod.bsky.social · 15/09/2026They’re going to be finding sequins in the filters for years. 030
Donald @dwmacleod.bsky.social · 11/09/2026The worst thing about those numbers is how many people don’t know enough to have an opinion. 200
Donald @dwmacleod.bsky.social · 11/09/2026But equally the listening, learning etc was facilitated by tech: streaming, sharing, online tutorials etc. And our history of great bands is very much dependent on failed arts students 😂 010
Donald @dwmacleod.bsky.social · 11/09/2026This can’t be an either or. ROI for high tech funding is higher than for the arts, but the roi for the Irish basic income for artists is about the same rate as HS2! However, what did we all reach for when lockdown happened? Arts of all forms, watching, listening, learning. Cont/ 140

Donald @dwmacleod.bsky.social · 26/08/2026The ICC aren't interested in associate cricket unless it helps to expand the IPL. 000
Donald @dwmacleod.bsky.social · 26/08/2026When did anyone think the ICC gave a toss about associate cricket? 000
Donald @dwmacleod.bsky.social · 25/08/2026I mean, we'll take them. And then pass them to the Ministry of Defence. 000
Donald @dwmacleod.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Do you not think Scotland would have done that by now if it was possible 050
Donald @dwmacleod.bsky.social · 23/08/2026I remember saying Dome thing similar once. They looked more confused about me not believing in the devil. Didn't seem to realise it was a job lot. 180
Donald @dwmacleod.bsky.social · 22/08/2026All of Scotland is a joy on this. Kuro€irt is where we breed the unicorns. 050
Donald @dwmacleod.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Can I offer a sensible answer. in It helps to establish the point of contact should something awful happen while you're at work. Some people have a difference between their nominated contact and their next of kin. 110
Donald @dwmacleod.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Haven’t been to a barber in seven years. Baldy bugger. Got to the ‘just run a razor over it once or twice a week’ stage. 000
Donald @dwmacleod.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Ive been in the US 3-4 times a year for the last 10 or 12 years. I thought it changed significantly during the pandemic. But there are still places where you do contactless & they print paper for you to sign. You rarely see chip & pin, & many places still take your card away and come back for sig. 010
Donald @dwmacleod.bsky.social · 13/08/2026It's now a lovely 23C with a blue sky that will be with us for another hour before sunset, and probably an hour or so of dusky goodness after that. Oh, and the festival is on. 000
