I know it's like the 47th most offensive thing here but the extent to which they have Not Thought About How This Works really pisses me off. Nobody is pure anything, you really don't have to go back that far before we all have so many ancestors that they're not so much "family" as just "some genes"
CT explains why he thinks Shabana Mahmood is neither English, nor British, to which Cole does not respond to at all.
Cole: asks how many generations? Is it a race thing?
CT: Not race as Albanians don't count either. It is ancestry.
It is infinite generations, if you don't have the ancestry.

The Clydeside Christmas Village on South Street in Glasgow. There's something about seeing an outdoor funfair all lit up at night that always reminds me of that classic 1980s movie The Lost Boys.

The selkie is a creature from Irish, Faroese and Scottish folklore who has the appearance of a seal in water, but sheds its skin to come ashore and reveal their human form. If someone finds the skin and hides it, the selkie cannot return to the sea. 🦭

The killing of the drug rehab bill disgraces devolution
Holyrood was meant to do politics better than Westminster. It repeatedly fails to do so. For proof just look at how politicians refused to work together to help addicts

🚨An important reminder of the trauma faced by asylum seekers.
Not just in fleeing persecution abroad.
Not just in the perilous and desperate journey to these shores.
But by the hatred and vitriol put on them by the right wing in this country for callous political gain.

Really exciting new archaeology report showing that two people who died in 7th century Kent had West African grandfathers. It’s suggested they’d travelled here as traders and settled thanks to the Byzantine Empire’s trade network that linked North Africa to Britain

After the Sandie Peggie tribunal I’m looking forward to the Scottish media covering all employment tribunals with such intensity. At last we’ll get in-depth reporting on workers rights, low pay & unfair dismissal
