Nothing like giving the UK's "enemies" the heads up... Lets hope they don't hit the UK before they are ready, say on day 999! The West is being run by actual morons.

With no direct benefit to Scots energy bills and as a net exporter of renewables to England, should Scotland be expected to bare the brunt of the worlds largest windturbines erected close to one of our most important cultural, historic and religious sites? This short film highlights the threat to Iona.

Does Scotland have enough windfarms? We are already a net exporter, but still Scots pay the most expensive energy costs in the UK. Now a Spanish firm are threatening to erect 144 wind turbines, each over 1115 feet high (taller than the Eiffel Tower), off the coast of Iona, one of Scotland's most important cultural, historical and religious sites. This short film explains why we need to say No to the Machair Windfarm. youtu.be/hXGpsffa3Zk?is=ZIQI…

I last daw Donal perform at the Féile an Phobail. Absolutely brilliant night and an outstanding muscian who has left behind a musical legacy that will endure for a long time.

The US was a rogue terrorist state long before Trump came to power. The only difference is he, and those around him, aren't trying to mask their sadism, depravity and cruelty... In fact they revel in it as you would expect from a paedophile, sex offending psychopath like Trump. "Leader of the free world" remember. Free to murder, torture, rape and wipe out entire civilian populations.

25 years ago the UVF were jumping up and down about the need for the IRA to decommission their weapons before the peace process could proceed. The IRA did decommission, but surprise, surprise the UVF - who the British state colluded with in the murders of dozens of civilians - did not. Now this investigation reveals some of those guns look likely to fall into the hands of the pro-British far right. What will @PoliceScotland do to deal with this threat given the clear links in Scotland? One retired senior police detective - who previously had been seconded to the RUC - told me just two weeks ago that levels of sectarian prejudice were much higher among police officers in Glasgow than their counterparts in Belfast! So my bet is nothing will happen.

Worry not, the good news is the BBC still has a Russian language service that licence payers fund for Russian audiences. The bad news is that it's the same old English centric news outlook that is broadcast, only in Russian. BBC Scotland isn't needed when you have a supine, complicit Devo-Unionist Exec in John Swinney to keep the peasants in check. This is not a spoof or AI: bbc.com/russian

Scotland's once revered independent justice system has been hollowed out and left in utter tatters in recent decades. It was once, like education - a system that is now, also, a smoking dung pyre of embarrassment - one of the great pillars of Scotland. Once these were independent institutions that demonstrated the Scots can do things differently and, crucially, better than elsewhere. How that steady, relentless decline happened, and was allowed to happen, deserves more space than this tweet will allow. But there is no doubt in my mind it has been deliberate and orchestrated. Officials and politicians who absolutely do not have Scotland's best interests at heart have driven this neglect and sabotage of Scotland's independent institutions. There are many examples of it, from the fast track career process of English civil servants working in Scottish Government departments, to senior officials promoted and elevated way beyond their ability... Leslie Evans being one pertinent and very obvious example. It could be corrected and even reversed if there was strong, decisive and inspiring political leadership... Instead we have cash-bung @JohnSwinney, a man that couldn't start a fire if he was standing in a petrol warehouse with three crates of Cooks matches at his disposal.

I've clearly touched a nerve with [checks notes] "BBC Scotland sports pundit". @JimSpenceDundee If he thinks the "big time" is commentating on Morton Vs East Fife football matches, then he deserves to get that broken bookies pencil I've been offering to sell for £100 for free. He now spends his time cheering on Britain's "special" forces who have been implicated in the murders of dozens of Catholics in the occupied North of Ireland... You can take the man out of BBC Sports but you will NEVER, NEVER, NEVER take the tongue of Jim Spence out of the arse of the British state.
