Anas Sarwar's family bought his peerage for him. Change my mind.
I am watching the British Empire Games. Which the SNP inexplicably saved from oblivion. Praise me for being a dutiful Nat.
I cannae decide what's most disturbing about this AI slop picture of my hometown. The footbridge across the Firth of Tay? The absence of any landmark buildings or the actual blinking Law? The ghostly reflection of an obelisk which isn't there?
