It feel like there's so much to be done, yet there's so very little that we can really do to make any difference during these very worst of times. But we cannot despair, we must hold fast to hope. Dorothy Day, pray for us. x @RobertEllsberg

Have you seen those modern progressives woke leftists you get these days? The ones who go around enjoying immigrants being paid minimum wage? No, me neither.

@JimSpenceDundee 'modern progressives love it' Whit? Who exactly are these mythical leftist you keep banging on about, who apparently love immigrants being paid minimum wage? Any chance you could name their most prominent members or leaders? What movement is this? Political Parties? Association?

If we're being honest, when was the last time any Government or trade union managed to prevent a major manufacturer from pulling out of a community? #Grangemouth #ineos 😔

@AlanMullett @Scottishsoc @LewisWhittaker_ @meIisactu Not only that, the application of a wee bit of classic Keynesian economics and infrastructure building would create real jobs and training opportunities for thousands of people. Spending like this is proven to jump start the economy time after during economic slumps, for a period

@EasyPeasy_3 Feel like I'm doing all the heavy lifting honouring the memory of this great Scottish clan here, while the actual direct descendants are just chilling out, doing bugger all ☺

RT @RpsAgainstTrump: The Pentagon just announced that it would double the number of news organizations removed from physical offices to mak…

@drunkpopinjay @JimSpenceDundee Don't know much about this comedian or Creative Scotland or the arts tbh, thats not the entire Scottish 3rd Sector. Is this person seeking Scot Gov funding to pay for his stand up/sketches etc? Has he submitted an application to Creative Scotland? I think it's quite competitive

@drunkpopinjay @JimSpenceDundee Most vol orgs do good work dealing with hardship, inequality, social problems and cuts to funding. We're in the middle of a mental health crisis, a cost of living crisis, a food insecurity crisis, a loneliness pandemic and an economic recession. Lets not be cheerleading for cuts

@drunkpopinjay @JimSpenceDundee 3rd Sector isn't full of middle class, metropolitan liberal elites on the gravy train or 'thieving progressive liberati' In post-industrial Scottish communities, vol orgs are local folks trying to remove barriers, provide vital services and create local jobs where there are none

@WildernessPeace What's your own position on trans rights?

@lokiscottishrap DWP needs reformed and restored back to what once was (and what it is meant to be) Far too many people read criticism of the cruelty with the welfare state and its lack of compassion, as call for the whole thing to be shut down. Scrapping the welfare state will make things worse!

Theres so much mythology about Guinness. As if anyone can tell or care what 'system' it comes through. It's a porter, not a fine wine or malt whiskey
