Pretty reasonable critique of the champagne socialists. A once great part of our culture now permanently diminished. Is this the BBC's best defence? spectator.co.uk/article/is-t… via @spectator
Dear @ScotRail , trying to upload a photo to get a smart card but the uploader on your website doesn’t work. Refuses to upload photos straight and there is no way to correct. Please advise asap , it shouldn’t be this difficult . Every other website can do this
Not rushing to get back to work ? Come to Glasgow. As if things werent grim enough already. Bet the great and the good can't wait for #COP26Glasgow . A once great city now in terminal decline
Interesting @CentreforCities research featured today in @theipaper: 19th July caused a surge in nighttime economy but very little difference to footfall in daytime. Think-tank says many cities will not return to normal while commuters continue to stay away

I never thought I would see the day where I would be posting articles from @ScottishSun as a voice of sanity in Scottish politics

Please find attached my letter to @ElectoralCommUK regarding the blatant abuses of the democratic process happening in Scotland ahead of the elections. If you share my concerns then please write too

A hugely important piece which exposes corruption at every level in this dismal @scotgov . To be retweeted #snpout sourcenews.scot/robin-mcalpi…
Data from National Records Scotland on deaths in Scotland going back 30 years by age cohort. Confirms a spike in deaths in 2020 amongst over 64’s but statistically no movement for those under 64. Sobering if true. Meanwhile we live in fear ....
This sums up nicely the dumbing down of teaching in Scotland under the SNP and the blatant use of mistruths and propaganda in a failing education system . Not to mention MPs/MSPs sending birthday cards to teenagers, but let’s not go there. spectator.co.uk/article/the-… via @spectator
Wishing @JamTarts the best of luck on their big day at Hampden today. Us @PartickThistle fans will never forget how you stood by us in a crisis . Both great clubs with great fans #hearts
Great summary of the lunacies of lockdown.
Groupthink is the disease that forced us into this crisis

This is worth thinking about if you want an alternative view to the current lockdown groupthink infecting the world. Or, we can live by the distorted agendas of the mainstream media and politicians, neither of whom are trustworthy groups IMHO gbdeclaration.org/frequently…
Just had a great takeaway dinner from @eusebi_deli . Well done on standing up against the lunatic rules imposed on businesses like yours by @scotgov. You are a credit to your industry. More should follow your lead if they can
Been to several great places in Glasgow in the past week #coopersgreatwesternroad #mcmillans #oroshawlands. Great food, great staff, great service. All now closed by @NicolaSturgeon and @scotgov for no reason. These charlatans are your enemies, not your friends. Never forget this
Whilst on the topic on better TV would also recommend #manctopia on bbc2. Manchester is a place with a drive and ambition which is sorely lacking in many other parts of the UK. They don’t get it all right and there can be costs to progress but the can-do attitude shines through
In these dismal times it’s great to have two life affirming programmes about farmers #OurYorkshireFarm on c5 and #ThisFarmingLife on bbc2. People of backbone and courage with skin in the game. An antidote to the current lunacy. Watch them both
A lengthy but important piece which explains a lot about where we are in Scotland now thinkscotland.org/thinkcultu…
Despicable man #2. There are many many more
