well, my take away from all this is that Craig has no idea what "gunning for you" means #scd #strictly

you. Believe me, I am gunning for you, I am on your side.

Surely nobody is just noticing NOW that the Tories have a tendency towards vile racist anti-immigrant propaganda

Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.

Aye apparently - I mostly know from someone in real life so I don't have any posts to point you to!

I used to enjoy going to Gail's bakery. But someone described Gail's as 'Gregg's for Tories', and I've not been since.

Once again, Cat Boyd and, to a lesser degree, David Jamieson of ostensibly left-wing Scottish blog Conter spent several years praising Power. This only started after her far right turn. They went mysteriously quiet after the full findings of Power's failed libel suit against L Turner emerged but...

Also I enjoy how he's just blasely contradicted all the defences people have put forward for the Xmas special thing. He never really believed it would happen and then he didn't bother writing it cos he was busy with Tip Toe

RTD's so mad he didn't get to send someone to jail for leaking Who spoilers

I can assure him I saw the end of s2 totally unspoiled and without knowing anyone else's opinion, after liking most of the series, and it still absolutely sucked

Had to check that but apparently yes, their shop is!

It's everybody else's fault that RTD2 wasn't super popular. Mostly because of SPOILERS and CYNICISM

FYI, the motion passed easily. Quite why Nation.Cymru thinks that Welsh law should be subservient to England just in case someone in Wales didn’t hate the transes enough is a mystery to me.

What gets me is the "doth" (as well as the crap art that looks nothing like the actual tapestry). The text on the actual Bayeaux Tapestry is in Latin. If you're going to do your pastiche in English, then do it in actual modern English, not Early Modern English of some 600 years later.

Lol I'm just reading a listicle about "six amazing Scottish castles you can actually stay in" and it's so cheaply done it's claiming there's a castle called Castle Wing in Kilmarnock Because it's advertised on the booking websites as being a "castle wing" for rent

Almost every defence of the UK relies strongly on an idea of the UK that absolutely doesn't exist now and probably never did

There's an idiot in the Herald saying Britain's history of standing up to fascism is a reason for Scotland to stay in the UK There's someone who hasn't looked too hard at England's current attitude towards fascism 🙄

I wonder if political columnists were always like this but we didn't notice because PMs lasted longer than 18 months. It jumps out a bit more when they do the whole "hope > defensiveness > concern > criticism > attack cycle in under two years, repeatedly

*Jonathan himself* is glaring proof his argument is bunk. He’s been noisily doing “Last chance to save Israel from itself” the entire 25 years I’ve known who he was; nothing that happened in that time altered his opinion one inch, he is a relentless opponent of any attempt to mitigate the horrors.
