@npub1g0t…tvm4 you dont get to blame the SNP here. What a take on the situation. Starmer is a piece of shit - same policies, different tie.

@npub1r7e…mre3 Starmer hates Palestinian children, hates Transgender children and now hates poor children. He’s a fecking Tory.

Pro Israel extremist Marie van der Zyl has just joined the Labour Party - she is pro flatten Gaza, pro Trump and wants the UK to move its Embassy to Jerusalem. Labour are jubilant tonight if their tweets are anything to go by. Is there any more lower they can go?

@npub1lzz…jhl3 to me Trump is an enabler; he emboldens the underbelly of society. He’s lifted the lid and the xenophobes, racists, religious zealots, the hard conservatives harking back to pre civil rights days have crawled out of the woodwork. He knows how to press their buttons, he’s given them a stage and it feeds his narcism

@npub1g0t…tvm4 such a middle class London centric view. It seems to have passed her by that Glasgow has always been a creative city and since 2019 has been named the UK’s top cultural and creative city. She’s a tad outdated in her observations.

@npub1g0t…tvm4 there is that, but it is deeper. Biden lives in the past and has never produced a vision for the future. He is also so far removed from the poorest and most disadvantaged in society. His policies do not improve their lives materially. The middle classes are benefiting. This is reminiscent of the Tories swooping in on the red wall and playing to their fears. If Kennedy stands he’ll take a good 10-15% vote share from Biden.

Great news, CNN journalists lead by Christiane Amanpour have told their US and London bureaus to shove their pro Israel bias with regard to Gaza. She skewered Mark Regev two days ago and exposed his lies. First time I’ve seen him nailed to the wall and stutter every couple of seconds tying himself in knots. Add to that some Google employees have now stated they will not work on anything that supports Israel’s destruction and death in Gaza.

@npub12cw…04dn It was Biden himself who said way back if Israel didn’t exist the USA would have to create it. Israel is the USA’s proxy in the Middle East. So working with Bibi (or even someone far worse than him) is very much in America’s interest. The USA has stored military equipment in Israel since the early 1990s. Currently the only active foreign military installations on Israeli soil are American bases. Americans love meddling in other countries.

@npub1g0t…tvm4 some Corps introduced WHF 25yrs ago - I worked for one. Many started downsizing their real estate and introduced hot-desking as long ago as 20 years ago. It works and it’s been the norm for many for decades. I find it all a bit bizarre that we are still debating this

@npub1g0t…tvm4 not convinced. We always removed our shoes at the door, something my kids do now in their own homes. It is very common in Asian and Nordic countries. I’m Scottish, but trailing muddy or wet or snow covered footwear through your home is not a good idea.

@npub1g0t…tvm4 large swathes of current Dem politicians don’t want Biden on the ticket. And yes, if Trump is the nominee he will likely win. Putting party politics aside, you’ve got to ask yourself why, from a population 332m people, these two are considered the most suitable to run for POTUS. Mind boggling

@npub1pu6…u9fd @npub1jnh…lfd7 beats me. The country now has some of the most repressive socially conservative laws, openly racist and where violence against non whites is often not punished. The evangelical fruitcakes driving the banning of books and what subjects can be taught in some states together with authoritarian rhetoric from some politicians is beyond the understanding of anyone outside the USA. And it’s like that today before Trump potentially is re-elected. 🤷🏼‍♀️

@npub1f2y…m58m oh I get that. I have a recipe in my grandmother’s writing that is brought out every year around this time for the traditional family Xmas cake. When she taught me how to bake I remember her telling me her grandmother passed it on to her. Every year I tear up when I read it and I can hear her narrate the recipe. I’m old and she’d be nearly 130 yrs.

@npub1g0t…tvm4 that’s been rumoured for some while. The incredibly wealthy and connected who are only in politics for power and financial gain will leave en mass rather than sit in the opposition benches. Sunak will resign too, but may not do so until the Tories are defeated

@npub1euz…2t93 this really angers me. It was something I experienced 45yrs ago (I’m auld) as the sole female in what was then a very male dominated profession. I eventually went out on my own and had a very sucessful career, but still think of these dinosaurs and misogynistic eejits and wonder how many young women gave up. Keep your head up!

@npub1ex3…c58j @npub18lj…80hq yes, was thinking the same. My local Church of Scotland, Catholic Church, synagogue, gurdwara and mosque all offer that to everyone and religion is rarely mentioned. A nearby centre also offers this and much more, bringing together those who can help (with anything) with those who need help, whether they be locals or refugees. I now live in Glasgow, but was the same when I lived in Edinburgh.

@npub1ex3…c58j @npub1a4d…v7ds that’s what puzzles me. I have wondered if the words she uses are just clumsy and articulated badly, then I realise she is a very articulate, educated and smart. I guess her orthodox religious views shape her personal life more than I imagined.

#[0] where do you think Hitler got his ideas from? He wasn’t just coming up with ideas out of thin air. It all stemmed from the early Jim Crow laws. To craft legal discrimination, the Third Reich studied the United States. America in the early 20th century was the leading racist jurisdiction in the world. Nazis were interested in, looked very closely at, and were ultimately influenced by American race law. And from that the Nuremberg Laws came into being.
