Not even a slight attempt at bbc balance. She’s a well known Tory/unionist shill now. A disgrace to public service broadcasting and an insult to Scotland…and we get to pay for her.

Q: How do you trick the population into believing that asylum seekers are becoming a bigger and bigger issue? A: Stop processing asylum applications. Cynical? That's exactly what the Tories did. The % of asylum applications completed within 6 months fell from 80%+ to ~10%.

#Homegrown D'Arcy Spice, 1785. Not the most impressive of #fruits, but crisp and juicy, with a deliciously spicy, aromatic pear drop flavour. Stores well until April. One of the best late-keeping #apples. We don't need #imports from the far side of the #planet! #Heritage #apples

It's a new personal best for our 'Howgate Wonder' stepover apple tree. 700g dead in for a single apple, and I still think there's a larger one left on the tree 😁
