"It wouldn't be so bad if [they] integrated. They should learn to speak English. But only if it doesn’t require any effort on our part. If you encounter such efforts, get your placards out." My @heraldscotland.bsky.social column on racism, contradictions, a world gone mad & uniting against Reform.

Interesting to see so many great British patriots right now begging an American president to bankrupt one of Britain’s last remaining truly national institutions.

Looking forward to chairing this with irrepressible duo Claire Mitchell & Zoe Venditozzi, whose company I love, & Steven Veerapen, whom I'm excited to meet. Their books are terrific and I'm sure it will be a lively event. Please come if you can: Sunday (Nov 9), 6pm, Glasgow Royal Concert Hall.

Should be working but I'm watching this on repeat instead. Brilliant entertainment and hands down the best version of Creep ever. Hunner times better than greetin-face Radiohead.

Agree. It's the same in the UK. Despicable greed.
The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
