@SPEnergyNetwork @edinhelp say you are the people to ask about the debris in front of Lambs House on Burgess Street, Leith left since April when the charging point (not yet operational) was installed. Building projects have added rubbish to it. When will this mess be cleared up?

Struggling with issues anent the Nigel Farage banking story. The UK PM appears to have said that a Coutts Private Account is a “basic service”. Really? And, while I support freedom of speech, I don’t think it means “freedom from the consequences of what you choose to say”.

“Daniel did his best thinking when going forwards under his own power. Once it had been through the medium of cycling–that’s how he had come to grasp the elements of the hypostatic union sufficiently well to graduate with a first in theology.” Ref: 3rd Policeman @RevRichardColes?

When I moved into my 30s, most police officers etc began to seem younger than me. I’m now well beyond state pension age and most Glastonbury headliners seem a lot older than me. Funny old world….

Can @RestIsPolitics explain why Boris Johnson is to write for the @DailyMailUK? It seems completely unnecessary to me, as I already have more than enough reasons not to read this dreadful rag #pelionuponossa

Rooting for Sophie! Terrific work - and such dedication - to get this far. Now to get airborne….

Hear, hear. What a woman! What a person! I was spellbound and wanted her to, err “go on and on”… another 3 hours would be fine - or more: however much more she is willing to give.
@campbellclaret please could you get Mary McAleese back? Just give her 3 hours if she wants. She is an utterly, utterly brilliant woman, and I enjoyed it so much, I'll save it for my daughters who are toddlers, to listen to in ten years. Thank you!

All the warning lights coming up on my dashboard. ABS, lights, oil pressure, tyre pressure, you name it, everything is on the blink. Except it’s not. It’s a faulty sensor. Cost to repair £612. Can I get a stupid car, please?

I agree. Let’s take this step (hugely important) and then move into substance issues and more widely in the criminal justice system. Years ago, the Daily Mail said I was “deranged” to be making that argument.
So I am pretty sure I was - and still am - correct.
The importance of this thread cannot be overstated. It is a moral imperative that we use our knowledge and respond appropriately. Everyone is exhausted in education. We have to build the solution upon recognising what we all, as humans, need. Relationships, kindness, love.

The “Behaviour Crisis” in schools is not going away. The pandemic has affected developmnt even of babies. We must stop searching for who to blame: kids, govt, parents, teachers, etc. We must understand human development (ie trauma). Let me explain. THREAD bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-sco…
Found in a book I must have bought when at uni. If you recognise it, you’re probably as old as me!

At a house for sale we took off our shoes to go inside. While looking at the kitchen, the owners’ dog nudged me with one of my shoes in his mouth. Was the message “put your shoes on and get lost, I don’t want to move”? I think so!

So it seems that even soi-disant patriots are actually protesters. “Not my f..King mess.” Otherwise they’d have taken their litter home, surely?

Since getting financial information out of the SNP is like drawing teeth, appointing auditors who specialise in dental practices seems wholly appropriate.
