'Woke madness' as museum removes Egyptian mummies from display...

Bosses at one of Scotland's most popular museums are at the centre of a 'woke' row after removing mummies from display because of a lack of 'informed consent from the deceased individual'.

Since 2016, London’s cycling network has grown fivefold, from 90 to 450 km. The result? 1.5 million daily cycle journeys—a 43% spike since 2019—twice as many bikes as cars on City of London streets during the day, and motor traffic in steady decline—having fallen 25% since 2019.

Never mind the future. We’re currently queuing outside to even access arrivals. You’ve become a national embarrassment @EDI_Airport & getting worse. Fancy shops & lounges are great, but you MUST sort arrivals. Shocking.

The Kelvingrove thing isn’t about respect for the dead. There isn’t a person alive who could claim to have a meaningful connection with that mummy. It’s all about the smug, self-indulgent conceit of the people who made the decision. It’s quite funny as well tho. 😂

‘Scottish Green activists push for legal recognition of polyamory’ They want legal recognition of polyamorous and “multiple partner” relationships. I don’t think any of them are remotely interested in the climate. Those who were are long gone. scotsman.com/news/politics/s…

“it doesn’t matter” Like a rabbit in headlights, Tim Rideout is flummoxed by basic questions on his currency plan.

This full length video is brutal. A Scottish currency means a painful and substantial devaluation against Sterling. There is no avoiding the economic gravity that creates this. Watching @RideoutTim just dismiss this because he can’t admit reality is quite special.
Sam Taylor@staylorishOct 19
Tim Rideout is again pushing his plan as a pain-free solution to the SNP’s currency problem. So… watch how he deals with someone pointing out the obvious flaws. He has no answers. An independent Scotland would require its own currency, but that new currency would immediately…

Six months after announcing his food price cap, John Swinney didn’t even mention it at the SNP conference. No wonder retailers are asking: What the hell is going on?

‘A random numptie’ @scottishgreens Oh how your party has fallen. You’re in an intellectual wasteland. It’s pathetic how far you have dragged yourselves down.

This is not actually a random numptie. This is the co-leader of the Scottish Green Party. A specific numptie, that is to say.

If you wanted to demonstrate the SNP’s lack of thinking on currency, you could hardly do any better than this. Asked a specific question on currency, Jenny Gilruth’s response: “we won the election”

Jenny Gilruth *again* pinning the success of the SNP's reforms of councils and the NHS on the cash boost from the UK budget That has *nothing whatsoever* to do with the structure of the NHS/local government in Scotland. Nothing. At. All. Blame game already underway
