Covid still can be dangerous for many people- and was deadly for many more half a decade ago. It killed family and friends -and work colleagues- and the devastating footage of people […]
I took a walk through Glasgow’s Maryhill area earlier today. Storm Amy had brought down a few trees, some older than my grandads da’, and a few black bins and rubble were in places they shouldn’t be.

This isn’t an “achievement” to be proud of, he’s just some parasite who happened to be born filthy rich, who never “invented” anything, but who managed to con other folk out of THEIR big ideas.
