Grumpy but hopeful. Scottish. New Town boy but island dweller. Photography, boats, photos of boats. Often wrong. Some bad words. I don’t agree with everyone I follow.

If you accept a knighthood, you should have to participate in at least one jousting tournament a year. The tournaments should be televised.

Not even one sentence on the sackings of Jimmy Thelin and Wilfred Nancy by Aberdeen and Celtic — even when reporting the dismissal of MUFC’s manager. Once again, Scottish sport doesn’t get a look in on #c4news.

Brexit means that the UK is more dependent than ever on the USA, and why our political leaders find it so difficult to criticise whoever is in charge there. We’re also unable to criticise Israel’s abhorrent behaviour in Palestine because Israel is backed by the US. What a shite state of affairs.

Spray paint a plane and they'll detain you without trial and call you a terrorist.
Kidnap a foreign head of state - and Keir Starmer will make it clear we've played no part in it but will wait for the scheduled press conference in a few hours before potentially condemning it

I’ve been watching Fanny Craddock Cooks for Christmas, which is quite hilarious. She keeps referencing a booklet which was produced by the BBC in 1975 and cost 50p. I’ve just looked online for a copy and the seller is asking £154 for it (plus postage!)

There has been a relentless, cacophonous campaign to stigmatise pro-Palestinian activists. But the inconvenient truth is that these are just ordinary people of good conscience who see the horrors of Gaza and simply cannot bear to stand by and do nothing.

A BBC News article warns of the dangers of buying counterfeit football shirts. The fabric could give you a rash (scary!), and the shirt may have been made by someone who’s being exploited. With some genuine shirts retailing at £100+, I can clearly see that some folks are being exploited. #bbcnews

Whilst it’s great that jobs will be saved/created at Grangemouth, there’s a cost to all of us – subsidising a billionaire.
Jim Ratcliffe’s company Ineos gets £120m govt subsidy to help save the UK’s last ethylene plant at Grangemouth.
Ratcliffe is worth $14.7bn (£11bn). Can he not invest? Will he be back for more?
Govt is not taking any equity stake. £120m is not repayable.
