Since we’re saying hello: I’m Kenny, in and from Glasgow, looking after public affairs and comms for a mental health charity.

The UAE is an authoritarian autocracy, a petro-state with no income tax for citizens, to bribe them for the lack of democratic voice or free speech

It is 85% migrant, a segregated society with a ban on integration in principle and practice, few rights, equal opportunities, nor voice for incomers

Pals, who’s at SNP conference in ABZ this weekend? For work reasons I’ll be there Friday-Monday and will very much welcome opportunities to say hi and hang out, as well of course as to have very professional work meetings. (About which please do also contact me.)

Maybe it’s also a function of having been part of that party’s most recent experience of government. (I may be reading Simon Hart’s book at the moment.)

A different approach to flag-flying at the Kelvingrove end of Sauchiehall Street.

A street light with a half saltire, half Palestinian flag flying halfway up it on the corner with Claremont St.

Over the weekend, Trump's deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller repeatedly attacked judges, calling them part of an "organized terrorist attack" on the US government....

On Saturday, the home of a judge who ruled against Trump, went up in flames

Having to drive the bus into a secure area and then give the manager a police escort up the road having sneaked him out the stadium will surely encourage all sorts of excellent applicants to come forward.
