I like that you’ve annoyed the Terrorgraph tv correspondent by appearing on three new BBC Civilisations series. Apparently you aren’t qualified to have an opinion on ancient Egypt. Rich coming from one of the hysterical shills for ‘free speech’ so long as it is Reform friendly. Keep it up!

I’m not saying there shouldn’t be a debate, or that questions shouldn’t to be asked , but that remark sounded like the type of thing the Sons of Struth would come away with when they were hounding. out the Easdales. And Friday’s embarrassing display reminded me of the tent in the distance AGM.

I don’t know you, but I can say with some certainty that Martin’s ‘legendary’ status was richly deserved by his own efforts and no one can claim to e right to have conferred it on him. Your cheap dig about what he would do well to remember is unbecoming a genuine Celtic supporter. Unfollowing now.

You, Mr Cynic, would do well to remember that not all Celtic supporters think public posturing and chest beating are constructive or effective. It gives comfort to our many detractors. Martin’s success , with his team, was hard earned, against a financially doped opponent,with our support.

He also publicly mocked John Sopel, who very deftly dealt with the attempt to humiliate him and the BBC but no one ran home crying that day about being called hurty names.

progressive, public service minded, serious politicians should be planning ahead, right now, for 2028-29. A cross party approach to the defeat of Tech Bro funded chaos, led by Farage or or other proxy like Yaxley Lennon. Ken Clarke and others with integrity from the moderate right have roles.

Also,could the BBC argue that Trump’s failure to sue post Janet Godley’s pithy observation as approved by Police Scotland, below, amounts to an acceptance that there is a consensus of opinion amongst right thinking free people that his reputation is so low that any future imputation is impossible?

My worry is that this is part of a full on attempt to MAGAfy the UK body politic. Threads leading back to Cambridge Analytics, Brexit, Farage, Johnson, Yaxley Lennon, Small Boats Frenzy, Musk Big Brother Address, Putin Bots etc. Driven by big tech post democracy Oligarchies, smart, nimble, amoral.

Paolo Nutini performed down the bill and the likes of Bobby Gillespie and Noel Gallagher were in the audience . I used that and the fact that Welsh folk was part of their repertoire to argue my thesis that Zeppelin were a ‘Celtic’ band when arguing with music adjacent Huns on Follow Follow.

Kashmir the essence of them. Robert Plant, who avoids discussing Zeppelin much in old age, accepts this was pinnacle. Was the envy of many on the CQN chat the day flew down to that London with Mrs LAT to see their last hurrah at the O2 in 2007.
