He was an evacuee in Stewarton during WW2. Remember my mum talking about him. Great career. 

You just pipped me to that.  

Apparently there’s two SPFL managers living in the town at the moment.

Ah, the great Scottish oil mystery.  🤔

First the field didn't even exist; then it did but oil was only worth buttons anyway so it was irrelevant; then, okay, it is worth a bit but we can't possible drill for it because if we do it will kill the planet (because we're not China, Russia, Saudi Arabia or the US); and now: "that's us, wire in boys, we're good to go - kerching!"

It will guarantee energy security has to be the biggest porky pie going as the oil will all be exported.

Wish some journalists would investigate the vested interests in the UK govt for something like this. Instead we get a big joint effort to highlight an adult artful dodger type with his shirt buttoned too low.

COP26 was just two years ago. Tories bragging and proclaiming how the UK was world leading. Since then they've opened coal mines, gas fields, jailed environmental protestors (3 years in jail for disruption of the Dartford Crossing!), opposed LEZs, scrapped the Home Energy Efficiency taskforce, savaged deposit return schemes. Utter hypocrites!

They'll justify it by saying they can't do it because of the cost of living crisis. Which they've largely caused, not just through the economic disaster of Truss etc but decades of largely unbroken Tory rule that has made the rich so much richer and left many more struggling to keep their heads above water.

Not sure how different the appeal process is in England to Scotland but I wouldnt think it would be dramatically different.

In Scotland you can only appeal the outcome of the trial if there has been an error in a point of law, ie the Sheriff / Judge has erred in a decision / part of the speach to the jury etc or whats called an Anderson appeal. Which is if the defence solicitor has been so incompetent that a fair trial wouldnt have been possible. An Anderson appeal is an extremely high bar, really rare, especially at high court level where the defence will have gone through each and every step with the accused.

The other thing you can appeal is the sentence which can then go up or down.

Another non story by the Record. Whilst English rivers are swimming in shite and private water companies are raking in a fortune, Scottish Water come across obstacles whilst proactively sorting sewage pipes in £1mio upgrade and Tory councillor’s main concern is temporary road closure affecting local businesses. Says it all really.
When you live close to a situation you really do see the utter nonsense written by the rags.
