Apparently this job pays between £45K and £60K. To the NHS! The lunatics have certainly taken over. Public inquiry needed into the attempts to gaslight and bully the public into accepting this crazy gender stuff. This is coming directly from the Scottish Government. Heads should roll.

Amongst all the hype football is as poor as it’s been in a long time. Nostalgia maybe but it was so much better - even 10 years ago. Perhaps there are just too many games just now. The EPL is hyped beyond belief. I find it boring and lacking in quality. We saw that tonight.

@teachers4perm.bsky.social this is extraordinary. As this rumbles on HT and schools are asked to deal with every social issue possible whilst trying to “raise attainment”. School staff from HT down are performing miracles in Scotland. It’s a national disagree. Neither Gov/Council are fit for purpose

Storm brewing at Glasgow City Council over exit payments to staff. When we ask about “where is the money going?” The top brass at Scottish Councils are the answer many times. A shower of legalised crooks.

The way out is Independence. What’s your plans for achieving it? What’s you plans for the currency Scotland would use? Stop the rhetoric - a clear concise plan for independence is what you and your team should be proposing to the Scottish people.

While Labour and the Tories chase Reform’s rhetoric, the SNP under my leadership will always focus on what matters: serving Scotland and staying true to our progressive values. In short, delivering progress for Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The Daily Rangers 🤡🤡what are they like🤣😂

Rangers and by extension the Scottish media lackeys want a penalty. The proof is the cheap material used in the strip. Brace yourself for days of media handwringing. The usual suspects will be getting told what to say.

Arsenal were terrific tonight. Throughly deserved to win. Would be great to watch a game were the commentator simply commentates on the game and the co-commentators aren’t insufferable.

Great news. It’s incredible how this ideology has been allowed to run through institutions, including education, in Scotland. Any resistance met with accusations of bigotry etc. It’s also heavily wounded Scottish Independence.

Igamane shouldn’t have been on the park to score the winner today. Tackle on Yang at 85 mins is as clear a red card as you’ll see.

Watch football games at various levels. Big problem in the game with refs/VAR. VAR getting involved inconsistently and missing glaring fouls. Spoiling the game. Takes mins to decide on offside and seconds to decide on small details. Very poor. If it’s to survive it needs clear, consistent, guidlines

The action plan on behaviour appears to be ignore, de-escalation and make excuses for belligerent, obnoxious behaviour. Pupils are going through schools in Scotland with no expectations on how they behave. There is little care given to pupils who just go about their day. It’s a national scandal.

I haven’t watched or listened to BBCs output of Scottish football for a while - used to watch/listen each week. After what I just watched- staying well clear. Narrative setting, totally skewed towards RFC. Like a fans channel. Although I doubt many RFC fans tonight are asking “was it a corner?”

BBC Scotland’s Scottish Cup highlights - the bias towards Rangers is beyond parody.

I very much doubt we will have the same media clamour about refereeing decisions this week as we had after the league cup final. Justice was done today but that penalty decision and the subsequent VAR checks were “unacceptable”.

This shouldn’t be dismissed as a one off. There are schools across Scotland out of control. Schools don’t have the power to deal with it. That’s up the the LA and Government to put consequences in place. However SLT gaslighting and dismissing concerns is also a major issue.

Real injustice felt in the stands that day after another incredible refereeing performance at Ibrox on the Thursday night.

Class contact time in manifesto, laptops for all pupils, reducing class sizes, increasing teacher numbers, jobs for probation teachers…….choices. All as bad as each other.

John Swinney@johnswinney.bsky.social · 2y ago

Politics is about choices. Whether it’s restoring winter heating support cut by UK Labour government, ending the two-child cap, or standing up for WASPI women, I’ve always chosen to do what’s right for Scotland. Neither Keir Starmer nor Anas Sarwar can say the same.

The media’s reaction to this penalty controversy has been hysterical. You expect it from fans (all clubs) but this is incredible and potentially dangerous. Compare this with past games including last years LC final. For older fans the names Kevin O’Donnell and Wallace Mercer will be remembered.

The demographic in these idiotic ultras will be young men who have been in mainstream education - caused bother and have got a wee “don’t to it again”. They think they can do what they want. You can’t flick a switch just because they’ve left school. School issues reflect social issues.

Swinney perfectly correct to criticise running battles in Glasgow however it may also be time for him to take responsibility for years for young people passing through schools with little consequences for their actions. Perhaps we are seeing this behaviour seep into society.

Sports hacks in Scotland have been asked by the new Rangers CEO to go in hard on the penalty incident yesterday. Watch them bow to their new master. Scottish football journalism is in tatters.

It’s a subject that the media won’t mention but outside of the top 4/5 teams - the EPL is full of overrated players who clubs have spent a £100ms on. How much did Spurs pay for Werner, Maddison, Solanke and Johnson. They hit a wee purple patch - £40m+ A very average league .

New report reveals UK economy is almost £140billion smaller because of Brexit... According to the new research, the economic damage is only going to get worse – with more than £300bn set to be wiped off the value of the UK’s economy by 2035 if no action is taken, www.london.gov.uk/new-report-r....

The talk is of how the EPL is the best in every way. The 2 pens Spurs conceded today wouldn’t look out of place in an U10s league.

Peter Drury on Sky Sports already insufferable as is the pundits “in this league” comments. In this league you have to run, pass the ball, score a goal blah, blah, blah - same as every football game in the world.

Celtic legend. 👍☘️1️⃣8️⃣

On December 6, 2000, the native of Lurgan, Neil Lennon, signed with #Celtic, he played until 2007, will be our captain from 2005 to 2007, then from 2008 to 2010, he will be assistant then coach of the team reserve before becoming manager from 2010 to 2014, then from 2019 to 2021. #CelticFC #COYBIG

Nigel Farage isn't the answer to our problems, Britain. He is the cause of them. Until my country can work that very simple puzzle out we are doomed. #bbcqt

Everything said here is true. I wonder how much Farage has made campaigning for Brexit and since it happened.
