Scotland needs to be independent to escape the course the UK is on. I walk. I cook. I sometimes write and draw. I play instruments and love music. I love fitba. Wee bit on the autism spectrum.

Read 'These Burning Stars' by Bethany Jacobs recently. Incredible debut novel in sci-fi genre. Felt it remedied a problem. I loved the intelligence and humanity of the Cixin Liu '3 Body' trilogy but was too misogynistic and this really does put well developed female characters front and centre

441 miles. The length of Scotland, on foot, finished on Sunday. Six trails joined into one line, Solway Firth to John o' Groats, for Cancer Research UK. Two minutes on why:

Awful listening to the 'anyone but England' attitude of many of my countrymen. Its ruining it for me and my Norwegian venner on our big day. Some of the comments nearly had me choking on my gravlax

I've been walking the length of Scotland for cancer research. Only really one proper walk left until I've walked the length of Scotland.The last leg will be 2 walks of 20 miles each from Lanark to Glasgow city centre. If you are able to walk a bit of it with me? www.justgiving.com/page/greatwa...

I know this Celtic/Motherwell penalty thing has been rumbling on for ages and is boring as fuck... but what I've not heard anyone say is that maybe VAR should have asked the ref if he had seen it hit the lads hand. It did. If he didn't then he should be able to get the recall on it

RIP Internet meme legend Chuck Norris. Good time to revisit my favourite Chuck joke from a wee Scottish wido "Giraffes didny exist untill Chuck Norris uppercutted a horse!"

Of all the reasons to dislike Trump, my pettiest has to be his insistence on a 'western hemisphere'. Its a sphere rotating on an axis at the North and South. East and West are relative to where you happen to be. USA is northern hemisphere. FFS he's closer to Japan than the "central hemisphere"

If I have learned anything over the last couple of days, it is that Badenoch would be outrageously gung ho and dragging the UK through the shit sort of leader as everything about her previously suggested. A wild card lunatic with no regard for law or sovereignty of other states. What a choice

That time frame would suggest since the Ayotollah took charge. The direct result of upset caused by the CIA/MI6 Operation Ajax coup that replaced the democratically elected regime. You reaped what you sowed and think doing it again will give a better yield?

For those following my walk the length of Scotland to raise money for Cancer Research, there's been a photo update on the fund-raising page. Link in the comments. In the meantime, here's some of my favourite photos from the latest leg - the John O'Groats trail.

Listening to all the afters from Celtic and Rangers fans, you'd think Beaton had a shocker. I thought he handled a very fiesty game with lots of contentious incidents fairly well. Yes some mistakes but a lot happening. Didnt go to the book too early, let some rough and tumble slide etc.

Last time the UK went into Iran for 'national interests' it was Operation Boot to reinstate the Shah over a democratically elected prime minister to preserve the raping of their oil reserves. The overthrow of that installed Ayatollah Khomeini. It's like they never learn from past clusterfucks

Well put. I note the article also glosses over the fact that the rail link was an SNP proposal that it wanted to do but could not fund. While in the many decades Labour held sway they did diddly-squat about it despite it being a clear infrastructure problem.

Starmer must withdraw permission for the US to use UK bases to launch airstrikes on Iran and parliament must be given a vote on any UK involvement.

I was planning to go to Cyprus. Terminally ill family member there. I'm now not, as my families safety is at risk because the airbase was being used for illegal military operations by other nations. Ones that Starmer refuses to condemn even while condemning the retaliation. Take responsibility clown

I've never felt British in my fairly long life. I'm scotttish albeit from Irish roots. I've always felt like an 'other' in what I saw, what I experienced and what I felt in my dealings with others all over the islands. I'm not sure Britishness is really a thing other than mock Englishness outside it

Listening to Sacked in the Morning and Alaister Campbell talking about Diego Maradonna. Even just hearing stories of the man brings me right back to my childhood and falling in love with the game. Before Diego I liked playing but never watched. After Diego football became something magical

Thought both the Hibs v Hearts and Livi v Celtic games were good watching today. A bit crazy, not always top quality, but loud raucous colourful affairs with passion and noise. The feeling it matters. That's Scottish fitba's unique selling point.

Partizan pundits like Boyd really batter my sausage. Had nothing to say when Ralston fell on the ball after a tug while trying to get his arms out the way. But when its going the other way and a guy has his arms in an unnatural position, then the fouls get considered? Just call them neutrally
