Trumpy trousers must have been peeing in his old man pee-proof pants at that Chinese military parade. His was rather less impressive. I hope he fumed at every point.

Surely they should support the maintenance of Grangemouth oil refinery?
Isn't the 5G in the COVID vaccine sufficient?
Yes, first you must understand that football is more important than life or death. It’s tribal. Which is why it will be global pandemonium when Trump completely ruins the World Cup. Teams will be praying for their games to be played in Canada or Mexico
The worst of the lot. Fuck the IDF.
People should spend their shopping money on leafy green vegetables. That might help their eyesight.
81% of Scots do not wear prescription glasses. Blinkers, maybe. The issue is more about Scotland being turned into an energy production park for Corporate profit and consumption in England with no benefit for Scottish communities. From the hill near my house, 8 wind farms are visible. 300 turbines
That’s a compelling argument. So, you do deny those things about him? Help me understand your point of view, then. I’m genuinely curious.
Which bit of what I said? The comment on American history or his long history of fraud, felony and sexual assault against women and , quite possibly, teenage girls proven in US courts, under US law. Yet you suggest I have been the victim of propaganda ? Surely you don’t deny those things about him?
I’m mortified that Trumps mother was Scottish. He embodies about every loathsome quality I can imagine in a man and is doing generational harm to America and the world. Americans have no real experience of fascism..No Hitler, Franco, Orban in their history to have taught them better. They do now.
Aye. Never invite a vampire into your home. Fighting the undead 101.
Brave and brilliant 👇 and all too true.
Aye, I get that, but bus drivers undergo training and don’t think their rights as a holiday-maker override everything else. I could be wrong but this is my lived experience on the roads around the highlands. Where I live. Not every driver, of course, but enough of them to be a real f@£&?!! wind up.
For clarity, they are called single track roads. And your chances of meeting a bus are almost zero. Meeting some eejit in a mobile home, though, are almost 100% nowadays.
Amused how, exactly? I’ll happily give you suggestions for your visit.
I think Trump’s hatred of wind turbines might stem from them “ruining” the view from his first golf course in Scotland. I’ve heard tales of how that view ruined his first round there. Between that and his mother being from the Hebrides, we Scots have a lot to answer for. Sorry, world.
Only the alpha males. 😂😂😂😂
Could you provide me some links to help understand NZ approach to methane from wool production. My employers (who use high C wool fibre)are thinking of using a similar argument to avoid SBTI FLAG targets. I smell greenwash. Or am I being harsh?
You seem very well informed . Do you mean properties such as carcinogenic? What about effects when different classes combine? Clearly that’s impossible to predict and industry will never absorb that cost. So, what’s the end game here? A world flooded with chemicals that cannot be controlled?
Ok. Fair point. You’ve shown that some are not a big problem, which I’m happy to believe What’s your numbers estimate of artificial compounds that don’t biodegrade easily, last for generations and are implicated in human or biodiversity issues?. What’s your take on the ones which are a problem?
But surely the difference is that artificial compounds are resistant to degradation and therefore persist and accumulate in the biosphere?
No, your post is nonsense. You might say “all chemicals are harmful past a particular concentration in the human body”. Too much water can , after all, kill you. But suggesting that “natural chemicals “( please specify) are dangerous in the same concentration as eg DDT is highly dubious, at best.
The biosphere should not be subjected to a systematic increase in the concentration of compounds manufactured by society. 2nd principle of The Natural Step Framework for Sustainable Development
It's so scary, yet so real. Nighted States of America 2025! 👇
Hey , America! I know the tangerine shit gibbon and his fascist followers are ramping up their attack on your country, but my social media feed is increasingly full of brave people putting up resistance. I believe you will win back your democracy. I believe most Americans will rise against his evil.

I’d love to see these figures if Scotland managed to return to being an independent country. As it has been for 900 years out of our 1200 year old history.
The thing about having a good instrument is that if it sounds shite, you know who is to blame. My small pipes cost me £1900 and the waiting list was 2 years. My first set, which I still have, were £600 but second hand. They did me fine for 14 years.
Not even pizza? In Scotland, a cheap pizza gets deep fried and rebranded as “pizza crunch”. Nasty, but popular.
“But even if you don’t have hope, it doesn’t really matter. This is about defiance. It’s about doing the right thing, fighting for democracy and for people to not be exploited. And even if we fail, at the very least, we didn’t contribute to the problem.” Don’t be a dick.
I’m sure I read something similar in a Jared Diamond book some time several years ago. Ours exhibits every characteristic that links 20 odd fallen civilisations from the past. The big difference is that this time there is nowhere left to move to. Oh well. David Suzuki and Lovelock might be correct
He’s so classy. Can he not just hurry up and die?
Gulls. youtube.com/shorts/SJZsD...
He’s no the first bawbag we’ve silenced with pipes, nor will he be the last. He is, however, one of the biggest.
Still got it,eh? Mind a have a pop at the tangerine shit gibbon.
There is also beauty in the world. But, yeah…. You’re not wrong.
Page One in Scotland.
@teamlabouruk.bsky.social You have made 1 post here and it’s not even about the genocide you are facilitating in #Palestine. Shame on you til your last breath.
Where is this Barrhead? It’s certainly not the one I come from , near Glasgow. It’s famous for toilets (Shanks), copper pipes and pet food. There are 2 pubs… The Flying Pint Glass and The Stab Inn.
Is it what I think it is? If so, Indian yogis have done this for a long time, although I have no idea about volume.
Would a 2 degree C rise in water temp (Sea of the Hebrides) be enough to disrupt mussels where there were none and usually the rocks are covered? Just noticed this last week during a kayak trip around the Isle of Mull, Scotland

But Peter Parker is always struggling to pay his rent. So,NY must be more expensive for housing than Metropolis.
Advanced technology in the control of angry child-men like The tangerine shit-gibbon is the reason the Fermi paradox is probably going to be proven correct on Earth.
Eat the rich.
I play bagpipe music when that happens.
Wow. So amazing that humans can film things like this and yet, at the same time, end up with idiots and psychos as leaders.
And is that normal? I mean, it sounds normal to me. Nothing odd going on at all. Not that I have much experience of such things.
I had to sit through 2 presentations from 14 year olds recently. It was all AI generated using words they couldn’t pronounce and content they couldn’t possibly have generated or understood. Learning zero. I gave the group that made a poster with stuck on drawings the top prize.
And when they miss? Well, it’s great way to spread lead through the aquatic ecosystem.
Powerful stuff. If only my CEO would stop pretending hid BAU growth model can resist the climate-related risks I’ve compiled as part of our Net zero transition plan. Sadly, he won’t. He has too much bonus to lose and his investment strategy has s sucking CAPEX into the wrong agenda. Shame
I’d blame Israel for the rise in antisemitism. Seems like a pretty clear link to me.
Ah, yes. The old “shit sandwich” tactic works pretty well.
Crowd fund and offer copies of your publication in return. Pre-orders, effectively. Lots of Scottish folk bands do this quite successfully
Bigger isnt always better.
Not in the UK. France, certainly. I like the French.
I don’t vote for genocide enablers or English political parties with branches in Scotland. Strange how they all seem to shag the butchers apron, regardless of their political views. Alba gu brath!
I’ll ask whatever question I want to ask. If you don’t like it, scroll on. In any case, I was merely hoping for a “yes” in order to say that this would also apply to a second Scottish independence referendum, so we could leave little Ingerland to stew in its own juices.
Good point, but she’s not labour.
What’s your position on A 2nd Brexit vote?
He ruined the 250th anniversary of the US army. He’ll ruin the Olympics and, most importantly, the World Cup. He’ll ruin Thanksgiving, Xmas and America.
Francesca Albanese: "The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is absolutely a death trap"
I heard her interviewed on bbcr4 about 5.45pm today. She absolutely owned the airwaves.
Be fair. It’s not just kids they want to kill.
Perhaps not. To be on the safe side, I’d advocate for a 100% rate of tax on income above , oh, $20m.
Could be. What I always struggle with about any conspiracy, though, is that complexity is very difficult to manage and unpredictable in outcomes. I suspect hubris, rather than evil intent. I see no evidence that billionaires are evil geniuses. More like daft men with issues and born into privilege
Not bad. Will they still need a minimum number of customers, though?
The strictly impartial BBC reporting on behalf of the Pro-Israel British establishment. How can these two stories be posted on their website without it being anything but exactly that.
BREAKING: A source tells me that the Trump administration has shut down public access to every single National Climate Assessment, the Congressionally-mandated quadrennial report assessing how climate change is affecting the U.S. This is what you get when you try to access them online
It’s amazing, really. The EU are also dialling back their climate legislation, and that’s in response to right wing parties. Stupidity and blindness, greed and cowardice are now the predominant qualities in ascendancy. Really, amazing.
And a globular cluster means what, exactly? I only have my extensive knowledge of Star Trek TNG to go on. I like it, anyway.
Note to self
All you need is breathable atmosphere and you could have a very fine day climbing that.
As do I. I just want to tax the rich like there’s no tomorrow. It’s their hubris that offends me. I see it in my work. When I check the GHG emissions for my employers, 4 frequent flyers who can’t be arsed to use the app we use to track emissions are clear.They see their role as being above it all.
No, that’s very true, but then neither is letting the wealthy off the hook. What are they responsible for that allows them to accumulate sufficient wealth to afford a private flight? What is the flight enabling? Scotlands airspace is full of private jets bringing rich gits to play golf and shoot.
It’s 1am. I’ve been doom scrolling and came into this feed to get my mind blown by the insignificance of human politics. Those numbers are too big for me to even scratch my head about. Good work.
Love those noctilucent clouds.
Bored. Went for a walk.
A wauking song from the Isle of Barra, used to help the women working the tweed to keep rhythm and have a good time singing. It’s about a galley that used to cut about the Sea of the Hebrides causing bother. youtu.be/DrWpWsLgsvE?...
Haven’t heard that in 40 years. Instant flashback. Shame he’s such an arse, these days.
If only it was that simple. We also need to replace our politicians and upgrade the goals of the economy from concentrating wealth in the hands of a few towards looking after the needs of the many, giving equal consideration to all inhabitants of the biosphere.
I see from another of your posts that you are ex RAF and proud of it. Fair enough, but don’t you think that you should openly state that this might affect your judgement in this case?
Met Office should name storms after fossil fuel companies, say campaigners - Storm naming competition raises idea to remind public of link between fossil fuels and extreme weather or “fossily mcfuelface”? #climatecrisis www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
Even criminals do some good things, sometimes. Does that mean they shouldn’t be held accountable for their crimes.?I would say your understanding of “enabling genocide” needs to improve.
Whoops, Apocalypse.
Well worth doing
A plague on both their houses.
The Met Office is currently looking for people to suggest up to 5 names for storms. It would be great if thousands all suggested the same 5 names (in alphabetical order as that's how storm names apoear): BigOil, BP, Equinor, Exxon, Shell. Met Office page is: www.metoffice.gov.uk/forms/name-o...

Watched as 5 groups of 14 year old school kids gave their PowerPoint presentations on clothes and saving water. They could barely read what the AI wrote for them. Not a lot of learning going on there. Gave the best attempt to the group who made a poster instead.
As the EU GREEN CLAINS DIRECTIVE gets abandoned due to pressure from right wing parties, conservatives worldwide once again prove themselves to be universally stupid.
Easy. Granny and Grandpa don’t matter to the orange skinned criminal in the White House
Dear world. Sorry for his mother. Love, Scotland.
Not if the tangerine fascist gets his way, but I believe America will eventually jail his fat ass. And that’s when America will be great again.
Gie yirsel plenty of recovery time.
I have 9 hours of folk music sessions today. Needless to say, some tunes will need repeating. My repertoire is big, but not that big.
My work place is full of people making strategic decisions which, according to the climate-related risks I have identified, may be catastrophic. Yet, they continue to blunder into the future.
Good show yesterday. I enjoyed it, especially learning that fossil fuelled cars also contain rare earth metals. A useful bit of info for future discussions with the nay sayers
Amazing animation of tankers burning oil to move oil
It’s just weather, so they say. Drill baby, drill and hell mend ye!
