The Scottish Government 'X' account posted about the Sikh event 'Bandi Chhor Divas' at bang on 11.00am yesterday, with absolutely nothing about Remembrance Sunday said all day.
I suspect millions of Scottish men and women share my utter disgust with the SNP.

This is totally wrong. Times reports 20,000 migrants criminals are still wandering round the UK free as a bird despite having deportation orders.
There are shocking stats; 775 Jamaican thugs and thieves should be booted out, but only 24 were removed in the previous year.
Of 773 Nigerian criminals just 37 kicked out.
0f 484 Somalians just 9 deported.
Of 596 Algerians just 25 were thrown out.
The list goes on of the usual suspects.
What’s stopping Burnham from doing the right thing?
Does he enjoy the company of criminals?

It's now become an unwanted Christmas tradition. Excruciatingly bad retail ads that get everything wrong. And this year, John Lewis have outdone themselves...

Every insult is being noted. Every slight is being filed. Every time they laugh at us, even as they try to replace and erase us, is being written down in the hearts of the British people. And a day for repayment will come

Last night’s documentary on Henry Nowak was shocking.
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary must answer fully for what happened, including how they treated his grieving family.
Howard Turner retweeted
Henry Nowak’s family were told there were 'no concerns' with officer conduct by the police watchdog, the IOPC.
In an exclusive interview with ITV News UK Editor @PaulBrandITV, the family says they were unaware of the contents of officers’ bodycam footage from the scene of the crime, which detailed the 'horrific' final moments of their son's life.
Speaking publicly for the first time, Henry's father, Mark and stepmother, Katie, said they only saw the video on the first day of the trial of their son's killer.
Watch 'Dear Henry: Our Fight for Justice' on November 5th, 9pm, on ITV1, ITVX or stream on YouTube via the link in our bio. #henrynowak

If senior people don’t feel they need to resign over the appalling, heartless police mistreatment of Henry Nowak as the eighteen-year-old student lay dying, then how bad would something have to be before senior people resigned?
Time was when honour demanded that conduct with heinous consequences led to the people ultimately responsible taking responsibility.
I am so sick of the Nothing to see here culture.

What was at stake
The 2026 midterm elections didn't just determine who controls Congress for the next two years—they also determine whether the United States, 250 years after its founding, remains a democracy, @anneapplebaum says. She explores what citizens and lawmakers can do next to strengthen the institutions and values that have been threatened in the Trump era.

There’s another message in the John Lewis Christmas advert.
The old, White grandmother is made to feel out of touch with her traditional gifts.
She’s encouraged to modernise and discard her traditional ideas and values.
Instead, she is rewarded for giving in to her ethnically ambiguous grandchildren’s modern and materialistic ways.
It’s a very sinister advert.

There are currently 5 times the dislikes as there are likes
The Plot:
- Entitled children ignore their Grandmother, won't even hug her
- She tries to give them nice, simple, meaningful toys to play with, they ignore her
- She goes to John Lewis to buy expensive toys
- The kids now love her
It's an awful message featuring a diverse family as always

Good grief, but the John Lewis Xmas advert is AWFUL.
It's basically an advert for buying gifts for ungrateful kids with terrible parents.
The grandchildren are just plain rude. The parents don't notice or care. So the grandma decides to splash the cash on gifts she thinks they will like - so rewarding their rudeness!
If I had a kid who behaved like that, they wouldn't be getting a single gift on Christmas Day. Not one.
Oh, and of COURSE the ad has to feature a mixed race family (who make up 1.3% of all British families yet about 50% of families appearing in TV adverts) because, y'know, diversity.
It's all so bloody irritating. 🙄

Nope...not for me! 😠
This years John Lewis Christmas ad, in summary.
Nan needs a hug, rude kids barge past her, ignoring her completely.
Kids don't like Nans childhood presents, so Nan goes out shopping to John Lewis to buy things they like to placate them.
Nan eventually gets her hug, when the spoilt grandkids get the presents they want.
Oh, and a rickshaw ride round London for good measure!
An absolutely dreadful story of kids attitudes towards the elderly today, and blatant consumerism - I for one, won't be shopping there this year! 🎁 🎅🎄
You are the snidest writer in British journalism. One day you should write an article telling us all about how you got that chip on your shoulder.
I want to apologise to Allison Pearson for thinking that this insane post was written by her. And to Alex Phillips for not realising that she was its author. Though regular and honest readers of either of their posts will admit, I think, that it could have been written by either of them

It's Islamophobia Awareness Month & @patcondell's vintage takedown still is a joy.
So put the kettle on, refresh your glass and relax with five minutes of magic.

Today Labour MPs have:
- said employers aren’t workers so they can tax them more (Reynolds)
- refused to commit to the 3% defence spending target (Healey)
- said we should rejoin the EU after campaigning saying we shouldn’t (Reeves)
- opened the door to slavery reparations by talking up an official apology (Burnham)
Are their priorities your priorities?

Something HUGE is happening out there after the treacherous new management of the Daily Telegraph sacked their most popular columnist Allison Pearson.
This morning I hear mass cancellations are underway, with thousands ending their subscriptions.

The targeting of Kellie-Jay Keen, and her being charged by the Metropolitan police, is an outrage that should concern us all.
This is a sinister attempt to silence a woman who is perfectly entitled to be critical of any religion or belief she chooses. Beware those who attempt to silence women who are being openly critical of harms to other women.
Blasphemy is not a crime in the UK, nor should it be one. Everyone is equal under the law, and free speech must be defended.
