Starmer is a right wing wolf in left wing sheep’s clothing.
At present the flock haven’t noticed the deception; but they eventually will.

The current Labour government has done a lot of daft things in a short time but this would be the most ridiculous.

It’s almost a declaration of Civil War; I can’t believe Starmer would be THAT stupid.

But on the other hand……………..?

No one “deserves” such an idiot.
His parents probably went out and shot the stork !

Love the man’s work. So very clever with his use of language and rhyme.
Taken far too soon when there was still work he could do.

What other excuses could Westminster use:

A. Wearing kilts makes Scot’s healthier?
D. The windy Scottish atmosphere is good for your health?
E. Their love of the outdoor lifestyle makes Scots healthy?
H. Golf playing keeps thousands of Scots healthy?
I. Drinking whiskey keeps Scots healthy?

Hardly a month went by without him appearing in some drama in the early days of tv.

Famous son of a famous father. I remember father introducing him as “young Murray” during an Isle of Man TT race. Probably in the late 1940s.

Very good photograph. Took me a few moments to put it together and see the fox in it.

Interesting choice of words.
A scientist would;“search for a result”.
A politician would: “seek to make the proof”,
Two entirely different quality standards.

In this case relating to neurodivergence which in any event has no simplistic cause as Kennedy would have us believe.

Neurodivergence is an aspect of human reproduction it can no more be prevented or cured than blue eyes or curly hair.
Only charlatans will claim otherwise.

A true acting great. His acting ability and comic genius will ensure he is fondly remembered for years ahead.

If he thinks it will bolster his standing in Scotland it will almost certainly fail and it may even have the opposite effect.

Time for a new start - Independence now.

A bit of tartan, a bit of the saltire, the presentation has every indication of Scottishness but really its a nasty little knock-off.
Shout “it contains sheep’s lungs” and the English won’t go anywhere near it.

It appears that somewhere in the BBC News offices an editor deliberately replaced the Scottish figures in a series of figures relating to the previous year with the Scottish figure for four years earlier.
The “apology” was a condescending piece of humbug typical of their attitude to Scots.

Happy Birthday indeed. A voice that boomed like a fog horn and just for light relief almost climbed Mt. Everest.

It now needs supporters to fan the spark into a nice homely fire for everyone to enjoy.

Sounds like a real life version of a “A boy named Sue”.

So very similar to my experience. A whole new society without English perfidy.
Yes, the national broadcaster does not serve us well by always recycling an English view of Scotland but we know what they are about and get other information to establish an accurate news perspective.

Pithy. A modern version of Shakespeare’s ‘the child is father of the man’.

Starmer’s government believes fishermen and farmers, not many votes there, let’s use them as a bargaining chip.

I see no change in the offing while this government makes the rules.
