Also FB memories... I love that many football rivalries in Italy predate football. Modena v Bologna games are known as Derby della Secchia, Derby of the Bucket, after the War of the Stolen Bucket in 1325. The Bucket, stolen from a Bologna well, is displayed in Modena Town Hall...

FB memories today... 1 year ago today we were in Italy, to see Banda Bassotti at Vibra Club, Modena. Modena per la Palestina, which was raising money for Palestinian causes. (Fabulous Cliftonville t-shirt from my wonderful friend Michael in Belfast)

33.7% won Labour a big majority at the last election. It was an excellent result for Polanski given the media onslaught against him in the run-up to the by-election

One of the (many) things that get me about Israel's abuse of Palestinians is the SADISM they exhibit. This is really sick. It exposes Israel as a deeply morally corrupt society. And those who continue to support Israel are equally morally corrupt.

He trebled the Greens' vote share and finished a creditable 2nd, achieving their 2nd best by-election result ever. Why would he resign?

This is almost certainly true, and the UK fails women refugees in multiple ways, including by refusing safe routes to come here, wrongly rejecting asylum claims, barring family reunion & not recognising trafficking victims promptly or at all. If only Mahmood had the power to do something about this

Home secretary warns people traffickers will exploit asylum seekers because they decide who comes to the UK

I have yet to hear a logical answer to the question of why they are so determined to parade through an area where they are not welcome. If not to antagonise the local community, then why? They had decades of triumphalist marches through catholic areas, and they don't want to lose that sense of power

Home time. Arrivederci Sardinia, it's been wonderful

When in Italy... Sorbet ananas gelato. Spectacular!

Buongiorno. Last day in Sardegna

Tagliatelle alla Bolognese, in Sardinia. Very nice, but not quite as good as in Bologna...

The heat is bad enough, it's the humidity that's the killer! We're Scottish, we're not made for this sort of weather...

12 years ago today, I voted #Yes for an independent Scotland. The Scottish people were lied to and conned by the so called "Better Together" Tory/Labour coalition. We need independence more than ever now, with the huge swing to the far right in England. Don't stop fighting. Our day will come!

From what we've seen so far Olbia looks a really nice place

Not bad views from the apartment...

Ciao Olbia! First time in Sardegna. Just to confuse everyone I'm wearing a Rothes shirt, and have an Athletic Club hat and Bohemka bag.

We're at the airport, therefore it must be Guinness time...

If Macklemore calling out a genocide on Palestinians by Israel causes you to feel outrage at Macklemore and Ed Sheeran, but not at the genocide itself or the Israeli government for doing it, then you have failed as a human being.
