Pat Traynor @pattraynor.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Surely the next obvious step is to broadcast public executions on "pay-per-view"? That way the cash generated could further the POTUS family slush fund. Don't be surprised if it goes that way. USA, a nation rapidly losing its humanity 181

Pat Traynor @pattraynor.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Can it be quicker or cheaper to fly than take the train, if going centre to centre? It certainly shouldn't be cheaper to fly. A properly funded, well run rail service between 2 major metropolitan centres should be a minimum expectation. Well, "king of the North (ish of England)? 020
Pat Traynor @pattraynor.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Oh c'mon his behaviour made him almost a family member. 030
Pat Traynor @pattraynor.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Ach, they're famous for breaking their vows. Q. What makes you think they'll keep this one? A. It's Scotland! 010
Pat Traynor @pattraynor.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Excellent stuff @thisismyglasgow.bsky.social Would probably enjoy. 130
Pat Traynor @pattraynor.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Maybe because Parkinson's usually affects older people, but smokers' lives tend to be shortened by their addiction?* *not a scientific observation, just biased against smoking, having seen it deny my kids the experience of knowing their paternal grandparents. 000

Pat Traynor @pattraynor.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I'm definitely NOT a fan of bagpipes, BUT, this is a huge cultural event, cherished by many in Scotland and among the diaspora. While I wouldn't watch it, to not cover it is a disgraceful decision. 010
Pat Traynor @pattraynor.bsky.social · 02/10/2026So clearly a con. Surely Ofcom should look at their licence or something. 110

Reposted by Pat TraynorThere is a better way….. @greensocialist.bsky.social · 02/10/2026The threat of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Scotland, on the doorstep of the right-wing disaster that is England, is a MASSIVE threat to every Westminster govt for decades. An #Independent Scotland leads to the total demise of business supporting, rip off England; and they know it. 23316

Pat Traynor @pattraynor.bsky.social · 29/09/2026#Fairford One theory is that those arrested were acting, in a diesel theft scam, in concert with US military personnel. To progress enquiries, Gloucestershire police would like to interview a M/Sgt Ernest Bilko. (One for the kids, there😉) 1115
Pat Traynor @pattraynor.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Looking at the marchers, what I see is a lot of older men, who want to return to the turbulent days of their youth, where they felt important and superior. For them, that ship has sailed. Ask the young people of NI, of all backgrounds, what kind of future they want. Its probably not this. 030
Pat Traynor @pattraynor.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Thank you, on behalf of my 1963, 8 year old self and his 2026 alter-ego. Simply wonderful. Can you imagine any of our "privitised" transport/utility companies spending their easy-earned money on creating art for its own sake? Nor I. And that music! Joy! 0110
Pat Traynor @pattraynor.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I'm 71 Am I scared of change? Yes But I'm more scared of where the "status quo"* is going. Oh, and Indyref now! *its not stable and swinging drastically to the right. 150
Pat Traynor @pattraynor.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Also, I'm not sure that the FA or SFA would behave any better. Bang right about UEFA and FIFA taking the lead, but not a chance 000
Pat Traynor @pattraynor.bsky.social · 26/09/2026What if....🤔 They became a plc and could charge for their services (waving, cutting ribbons, hosting dinners etc.) BUT had to cover their costs, pay wages and taxes, from their income. Then "clients" could determine their worth and decide if they wished to engage their services. Hmm? 010
Pat Traynor @pattraynor.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Well he had to run it past Ed Sheerin's publicity works first, to make sure it was coherent🤪 050
Pat Traynor @pattraynor.bsky.social · 25/09/2026A fine old pub. I say this as a former member* of its darts team. *OK, I played for them once, when they were a man short and I was having a drink with my da, who was on the team. 010
Pat Traynor @pattraynor.bsky.social · 25/09/2026....as is the entire monarchist establishment. But we all pay for it, so they don't GIVE a shit! 010

Pat Traynor @pattraynor.bsky.social · 25/09/2026But isn't Israel on the US payroll? They seem to chuck a lot of dollars that way. 100
Pat Traynor @pattraynor.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Maybe he threw away some litter, too? Absolute joke of a legal system. 010
Pat Traynor @pattraynor.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Clearly, our "representatives" in govt are unwilling to take any action against Israel. Burnham's remarks at UN laid bare the attitude of Westminster. See also the "soft touch" approach to right wing "activism" (intimidation, terrorism?) compared to the oppression of legitimate free speech. 010

Pat Traynor @pattraynor.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Probably the BEST live performer, ever. And I saw Bowie, Jagger, The Who..... I'm going to find Zal, now. (also a truly brilliant showman) Thanks for the tip. 021
Pat Traynor @pattraynor.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Maybe if Burnham and the rest of his Labour cosplayers had actually understood* what Orwell was getting at, they could come up with a way to support working class ideals, instead of pushing them to the Far right (not a very far "push" as things stand.) *they HAVE all read Orwell, haven't they? 130
Pat Traynor @pattraynor.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Maybe not FPTP then. Thoroughly unrepresentative and anti-democratic. 000
Pat Traynor @pattraynor.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Ahh, but they'd only take away your right to vote on some things.....wouldn't they? Hmmmm. 020
Pat Traynor @pattraynor.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Interesting, but still any chamber selected by other than a plebiscite, could not be expected to reflect the populace. And I know what you mean about not trusting the electorate. Political education/intelligence is in short supply. 100
