Nothing says "Putin has a copy of a video of Trump raping children" quite like the US government compelling a European democracy to surrender to the orc invaders from Mordor or whatever that shitty steppe ibetween civilisation and China is called.

@theguardian.com didn't point out that while Andrew Mountbatten Windsor remains on private royal property at Sandringham, he cannot be arrested and charged as he would technically be within 50 feet of the monarch because royal property and person are indivisible:

This is how you do wash trading. All these companies are investing in each other paying each other bits of the same trillion dollars in order to make it look like they’re so close to AGI so investors will keep giving them money to lose.

This is also known as a Junkie’s promise.

Hello @observeruk.bsky.social

The first #NoKings protests I saw began in S. Korea well before the UK print deadline. Other protests across Europe including outside US Embassy in London.

Your lead online story is about a man who will be king whether we want it (or in Scotland, at least) not.

🙈🙉🙊

Well done Haynes Manuals and a big boo to @fordmotorsofficial.bsky.social

The lock on the door of my van simply came out of the door thanks to a previous owner's shonky repair. Official Ford dealerships in Scotland were quoting a minimum 2 week wait for repair (if at all possible). 1/2

Only @theguardian.com could deliberatley fail to mention why the majority of Scots still cherish the world's oldest national flag, the Saltire: www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

We simply don't see ourselves as 'British'. Everyone will always be welcome.

Big shout out for Shabana Mahmood for ignoring Loyalist Marching Season and the burning of renowned Catholic Effigies and refugees.

Apparently, Catholics who fear the celebratory killing of Catholics don't count for the Labour Government. Mind you Scottish Labour depend upon the Orange vote 🙄
