If we lose Scots, we lose our sensitivity to the environment that made us as the language is rooted in our culture and history. audible.co.uk/pd/Scots-The-M…

Finished this today. Not the target audience, so I found it a bit too predictable, and the confiding footnotes were distracting.

@wyllie_cameron @MrMcEnaney A Level is not equivalent to AH (I say, having studied A level and taught all SQA quals). AH requires more independent work and is somewhat closer to undergrad study than A level. Higher I would say is not quite as intense as A level but close, with very similar standards.

Imagine if #Labour hadn’t lumbered Scottish councils with #PFI contracts, or Lord Jack had spent that £1.6 billion on Scotlands NHS or Labour hadn’t spent £2.5 million fighting Glasgow woman workers getting equal pay. This is the party that want control of 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #NoThanks

Therefore, a vicious circle is created. The only people that will ever benefit from this vicious circle are the individuals and media companies creating and pushing these "headlines" and their millionaire/billionaire bosses and owners. 👇

There's an almost 'make believe' mentality within Labour activists in Scotland. They refuse to accept Starmer has turned their party into an English Nationalist replica of the Tories, so they close their eyes and cross their fingers and pretend it didn't happen. It's child-like.

Last week we told you BBC Scotland was pushing a campaign aimed at undermining the SNP/Greens deal. Here's more evidence of the campaign. These 'calls' are merely repeat attacks from Robin Harper and Fergus Ewing. It isn't news. It's two people saying things they've already said.

GB News flagrantly breaches the code every single day. Ofcom consistently ignores the worst breaches (ie. Neil Oliver authoritatively delivering crackpot conspiracy lies straight to camera on a ‘news’ channel) yet pursues trivial issues. It’s a sham. Ofcom is part of the problem.

BREAKING Labour's candidate in the Rutherglen & Hamilton West by-election admits he refused to vote Labour in the 2019 EU elections and the 2019 general election. Was he happy to let the Tories continue in power? What an astonishing admission.

There it is again. Every time the state of the NHS south of the border hits the headlines [strikes and cuts], BBC Scotland runs a 'crisis' story that frames the Scottish NHS in a bad light. This happens time and again. Always following the same pattern.
