As somebody who lives in Scotland I enjoyed the recent UK hide and seek because I know all those stations. The park they couldn't get too because of multi curses in Dunbar was a regular visit when Baz was a kid.

With you. If I hadn't been at my Mum's 80tg I would have done the cinema. Also have the cards for the "home" game if you ever fancy a chukka.

We're now beyond 300,000 people in Britain and Ireland joining a union via @jointogether.online's software. Making it easier for members and unions to get on the journey together really matters.

In the new Scotrail app if you type waverley in Waverley is not an option. 🤦 You took the best train ticketing and using app in the UK and flushed it to save a few quid guys.

The first Russian diesel cargo heading for the US left St Petersburg on September 22, two weeks *before* Trump announced the deal with Putin, Windward reports. The Greek-flagged tanker Minerva Zen carrying 275,000 barrels of diesel/gasoil is due at the US East Coast around 11–12 October.

Is it a loss leader? Do they get them in the door with the cheap entry then milk them (or better sell them merch. Presumably a form of donation that comes with less admin and rules.)

I had to do a teacher training post in a private school having nearly gone to one on a full bursary for being well clevs. Also my cousin went to one when I was his au pair. My experience was they are wonderful places for those that attend, and a bit of a disaster for society. Burning hot take.

As a tourist in Basel I really appreciated it paying for free transport and museum discounts. As a resident in Edinburgh the city seeing being on rhe cusp of some benefits/cost recovery is great.

In the wake of Arday's death, Nathan Cofnas (who led the X mob against him) states his motivation. Beyond whistleblowing, he states that after a 'revolution' removes professors like Arday, it will open opportunities for him to become 'head of the department of eugenics and race science at Harvard'.

There is a difference between scrutiny and entertainment. Jason Arday’s career posed questions, but they shouldn’t have become obsessional. Journalism should seek truth, but not public humiliation.
