“Here Farage is, in Gill’s office, with Voloshyn’s wife Nadia, on the day Gill makes an intervention on behalf of Medvedchuk’s channels, with an employee of one of those channels, whose husband started bribing Gill to make these statements 6 days earlier”

Most people seem to have missed who retweeted this picture of Farage in Gill’s office a few days after Gill began receiving his first bribes from Oleh Voloshyn (Oleg Voloshin). None other than…

Imagine having a vessel coming under the regulations on the water now? 😳

Would imagine there’ll be a shuffling of vessels to avoid this, where possible.

Thanks, very interesting! Do the find locations map against other Pictish symbol stones? I ask because I’ve seen theories that later medieval parishes may map against earlier Pictish symbol stones.

A colourised image from perhaps the 1910s of a Scotsman tickling a woman. It is a postcard of that era. They are sitting on a bench next to a bush. There is a loch and sky in the background. He is tickling her. He is wearing a tartan bunnet and a kilt, etcetera, and she is wearing a large, rather shapless dress and flowery bonnet. He has a grip of her right arm with one hand and is tickling her under the chin with his other. She is trying to escape his tickling hand. It looks a bit creepy, truth be told.

Underneath the picture are lyrics from Harry Lauder's song Stop Yer Ticklin Jock. They are in pink letters on a white background.

Will yer stop yer tickling, Jock
Oh stop yer tickling, Jock
Dina mak' me laugh so hearty
Or you'll make me choke
Oh I'd wish you'd stop yer nonsense
Just look at all the folk
Wil yer stop yer tic-kle-ing
Tic-kle-ic-kle-ic-kle-ing
Stop yer tickling, Jock.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.
