Last Notes npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier Still the most iconic Scottish weather picture, in my humble opinion. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier “The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.” npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier Glasgow has world-class artists and some pretty astonishing murals already, so this is just - excuse the language - fucking stupid. What's that building? And why the American Bald Eagle? Back to the drawing board, lads. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier America isn’t the way it is because he’s president. He’s president because America is the way it is. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier Fixed that for you, BBC. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier But not you, Scotland. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy9yq8znq37o npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier When your Chicken Tikka Masala tastes a bit municipal swimming pool, you'll know it's the taste of #Brexit freedom. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier This will drive all the right people bananas. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier If a person is working full-time and has to be on Universal Credit, then the "benefits scrounger" is their employer. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier Oh, the grand old Duke of York, npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier From the sadly missed author and national treasure Iain Banks in a letter to the Guardian, 3rd June 2010. (15 years ago…) npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier Tony Blair invented New Labour. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier Under Stalin, repression was so severe that the Soviet Gulags held one sixth of the entire world's prison population. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier Starmer refuses to criticise anything about Farage's speech today. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier I thought daubing paint on stuff was terrorism leading to your organisation being proscribed. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier Frankie Boyle on the fragrant J.K.Rowling: npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier Frankie Boyle on the fragrant J.K.Rowling: npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier Letter in today's Times: npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier Orwell's "1984" was not intended as an instruction manual. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier "The scenes in Gaza have moved beyond description. We write as artists who’ve chosen to use our public platforms to speak out against the genocide occurring there & the role of the UK government in facilitating it." npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier Opposing genocide is not a crime. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier Well played. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier Starmer Starmer Starmer Starmer Starmer Chameleon. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier Three days apart. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier Protest is terrorism. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier Starmer rules out a Scottish independence referendum. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier I do find it rather amusing that Lawrence Fox went batshit when Dr. Who became a woman, then he went batshitter when Dr. Who became a black guy, so they've made the new Dr. Who Lawrence Fox's ex-wife. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier Three Orange Walks have been scheduled and approved by Police Scotland in the same city, on the same weekend. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier Commit genocide and you can participate in the Olympics, the World Cup and Eurovision. Object to genocide and you can't even play a gig at TRNSMT. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier On this day four years ago, when Glasgow decided not to be part of an “island of strangers.” npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier The National: not messing about. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier "'Austerity' is the idea that the worldwide financial crash of 2008 was caused by Wolverhampton having too many libraries." npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier Fixed that for you, BBC. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier Thoughts for today: npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier "Farage is right; don't vote for him." npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier The Prime Minister’s acceptance of right-wing economic orthodoxy is pushing his party and the country towards disaster, argues his former adviser Simon Fletcher. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier A new poll from Norstat asks the question: "If Scottish independence meant that Scotland would become a republic, how would you vote if there were an independence referendum tomorrow?" npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier Anas Sarwar MSP and Ian Murray MP have both deleted the pages giving their support to the Waspi women campaign from their official websites. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier "Labour cynically used the Waspi women and their campaign as photo-op fodder. Those women are not likely to forget how they were used and then cast aside by party whose high-handed arrogance in government is approaching Boris Johnson's." npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier Despite Labour's cynical demand that the Scottish Government compensates WASPI women, the 2016 Scotland Act makes it impossible for them to do so. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier “Fuck every cause that ends in murder and children crying.” npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier "There's no agreement on who Britain’s ultimate authority is." npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier Just a few short months ago our media pundits were celebrating “the return of grown-up politics.” npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier For #internationalmountainday, here's Stirling Castle looking like something from Lord of the Rings, with snow-covered Ben Vorlich and Stuc a'Chroin in the distance. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier Who are you and what have you done with the real BBC Scotland? npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier For 1st December, a wee insight into a difference between Irish and Scots Gaelic (and, perhaps, psyches): npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier From 2018, when snow turned the Bannockburn statue of The Bruce into something magical. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier Of course he did. Because if he admitted it was genocide, he'd also have to admit his own government's complicity in that genocide. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier The end of an era for those of us who grew up in Glasgow: https://news.stv.tv/west-central/historic-glasgow-joke-shop-tam-shepherds-trick-shop-closes-after-140-years-in-business npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier "The world’s richest man bought a global communication platform and is now the shadow head of state of what was the world’s greatest superpower. That’s the message. Have you got it yet?" npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier The royal family charges the Scilly Isles RNLI for lifeboats crossing "their" beaches when they're launched. So when lives are saved there, by a volunteer charity, the royal family gets money from it. Is there anything more venal and mercenary than that? npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier "As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier I'm old enough to remember the outrage and hand-wringing from western politicians and media when the Taliban destroyed ancient cultural and religious sites in Afghanistan. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier If Labour doesn't push beyond the myopic parsimony of pen-pushers and bean-counters, the future will not be about conditions deteriorating before they improve, but something much, much worse. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier To see ourselves as others see us: the view from the USA, via the @NewYorker magazine. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier https://media.mastodon.scot/media_attachments/files/113/296/156/276/990/084/original/b2aa1bcaa5858249.png npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier Alex Salmond, RIP. Thank you for everything you did, and tried to do, for Scotland. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier Coming soon to a TV near you: a month of politicians wearing poppies and serious faces while simultaneously arming a genocide. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier Energy bills are going up by 10%. And I'll bet he sleeps like a baby. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier 2014: "You'll be bankrupt! Like Greece without the sunshine!" npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier This is from the Civil Service Code of Conduct. Why doesn't this also apply to MPs, I wonder? Could it be because MPs make their own rules? npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier Now, why would a Cayman Islands-registered hedge fund with shares worth hundreds of millions of pounds in fossil fuels, private health firms, arms manufacturers and asset managers donate 4 million pounds to Labour's election fund? npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier I'd forgotten that Gordon Brown doubled down on his promise of "a modern form of home rule" for Scotland in a speech he gave four days after the independence referendum. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier I can't understand why COVID seems to be spiking again when we've tried so hard to ignore it. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier He trained for this for 70 years and gets paid £86.3m to do it. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier This is basically the same thing that David Cameron and George Osborne told us in 2010 and is symptomatic of a country in managed decline. There will be no jam tomorrow. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier Some folk seem to be struggling with the idea that the public can be angry about both Tory and Labour sleaze and cronyism scandals. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier "Labour’s cabinet has taken over half a million in donations from private healthcare lobbyists." npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier Corbyn's Labour: "For the many, not the few." npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier "Ooh, but he's not as bad as Boris," is, of course, missing the entire point which is that Labour was elected on the back of multiple promises to eliminate sleaze, corruption and nepotism. "Not being as bad as Boris," is, as I'm sure most folk would agree, a ridiculously low bar. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier https://www.thedailymash.co.uk/politics/i-will-change-government-policy-for-a-good-quality-mens-jacket-by-keir-starmer-20240918250987 npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier "The SNP’s depute leader has insisted Scotland will never receive another Section 30 order from Westminster." npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier From time to time I still think about this letter which was written to the Guardian in August 2014 as a response to the so-called “celebrity lovebombers.” npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier Nobody can seriously claim that the last 10 years have been positive ones for Scots and for Scotland. Out of the EU, fuel prices rocketing in this wee, energy-rich country, subjected to the varied fiascoes of Johnson, Truss and Sunak. But we still have hope. That's why I'm... npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier Via Paul Kavanagh: npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier And yes, I realise Brown was an ex-PM with no authority whatsoever to make these outrageous promises, but that didn't stop the BBC playing it on a loop for about a week. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier Ten years ago, Gordon Brown urged Scots to vote No for “faster, safer, better change” within the UK. A “modern form of Home Rule" that's the “closest thing to federalism”, with Holyrood “handed equal status to Westminster.” npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier I'm shocked! Shocked! npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier Schrödinger's Scotland: simultaneously too poor to be independent but rich enough to be "the golden ticket for UK growth." npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier There's always a tweet. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier One. One solitary Labour MP voted against the winter fuel payment cut. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier Let me see now: npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier However, we seem to have forgotten that debate on the future of the monarchy we were told would have to wait until the queen died. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier Only in Scotland would this question even be asked. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier If keeping pensioners warm this winter could have collapsed the UK economy and caused a run on the pound then there is something deeply, deeply wrong with the UK economy. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier Labour: "Yeah, we're fine with that. In fact, let's have more of it..." npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier A remarkably prescient quote from Tony Benn: npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier The "United" Kingdom in three headlines. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier Yeah, well - after your "read my lips - no austerity under Labour" claim, I find that a fucking insult, Mr. Sarwar. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier The UK has essentially had the same Tory government since 1979. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier The folk who were espousing that notion all seem to have gone a bit quiet. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier In the immediate aftermath of WWII UK debt was around 250% of GDP and the Attlee Labour government created the NHS, set up the welfare state, invested huge amounts in infrastructure projects and built millions of social houses. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier In its 2024 general election manifesto Labour pledged to "drive down those bills" and "cut bills for good". Instead, a typical household's annual energy bill will rise by £149 in October. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier Farage: Silence. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier Tommy Robinson is dripping his poison into Scottish ears by tweeting about "three women" in Stirling being stabbed by an "alleged Muslim." npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier If you get five years in jail for a Zoom meeting about climate change I wonder what you get for inciting looting, burning and rioting. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier Today isn't so much an election; more of an exorcism. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier After the 2014 Scottish Independence referendum the Smith Commission recommended that various tax-raising powers be devolved to the Scottish Parliament. Who blocked virtually all of them? Why, that would be the Labour Party. Vote Labour, get nothing. npub1mh2xrccj0cr42fea3qy4y9rlngd9x5fv4jq0w3sn9kjhx43zyvas07t8te Alan Ferrier The Rector of the University of Glasgow, a Palestinian witness to war crimes, is now banned from entering both Germany and France and, it would seem, the whole of Europe.
