I don't recall Motherwell looking so vibrantly claret. Or maybe I just wasn't paying attention.

In the interview above, Galloway said he'd be meeting the Speaker on Monday, and also David Davis.

Yes, on matters Scottish he flips from progressive worker underdog to become the gentry-friendly imperialist, right-wing flag-waving 'nationalist' of the British kind, despite tarring his independence-supporting opposition for being the nationalists/fascists. All the while the media lap it up, don't notice the flip, just the punchline.

Galloway is a brilliant orator, attached to a very mixed-up political brain. If your views coincide on a particular issue you can cheer him on, if your views are at odds, he comes across as arrogant, shouty, petty, vindictive and full of red herrings. Compelling viewing, though it's the mainstream media (following Sunak, perhaps ill-advisedly) suddenly giving him the airtime. I love that you can see the curly wire into the intervieweer's ear, as if he is the hapless mouthpiece of the scrambled establishment brains behind Sky.

No one wants 'mob rule'. But the thing about protest is that it's often those who are the underdog, who feel they are under attack, who don't otherwise have a voice, who take to the streets, that are then labelled the angry mob. But they are right to be angry. It's just if an establishment type or big business guy feels his/her interests threatened, they have a quiet word with someone in high places, they don't need to be angry, they don't need a 'mob' to be heard.

Seems Westminster will bend or break the rules with impunity, knowing the unionist media will see no stitch-up, hear of no stitch-up, speak no stitch-up

'we've got computers... that will find us friends...' all that technology... (and the band) 40 years on

Sounds like the right priorities. "Why didn't you ever attend to your pension/prostate?" "I had a great opportunity to line up 4 songs about time flying on the TAMB" 😅

there was an open goal for over 24 hours there... but we an reunite the threads
