There's been a huge shift in perceptions down here, given the events in Scotland over the past couple of days. Some folk thought Scotland was full of English-hating nationalists, but the TV images have shown them to be a small minority. Fantastic response by the Scottish people🇬🇧
It feels like the whole of the UK is watching Mr Bates vs The Post Office, & I hope they are. The way these people were treated is beyond disgusting & I hope the
@PostOffice
and
@fujitsu_uk
are both now suitably punished for their roles in this scandal
#MrBatesVsThePostOffice
Phillip Schofield has learnt a harsh lesson this weekend. You can cheat on your wife for years, come out as gay later in life and people won't bat an eyelid. Jump a queue, however, and the great British public will hate you forever.
Nicola Sturgeon just said that Scotland is behind the rest of the UK in vaccinations because they have been focusing on vulnerable people in care homes etc. What the hell does she think the rest of the UK are doing? Does anyone actually swallow the complete rubbish she spouts?
Wow. The First Minister of Scotland has knowingly, directly funded terrorism. Think about that for a moment. Good people of Scotland (i.e. the overwhelming majority), you seriously need to get rid of this man - he's a danger.

"I got seriously injured by a car driver today."
"Oh, no, that's terrible, what happened?"
"Well, I was sitting in the middle of a busy road, when..."
Has anyone seen a single tweet from anyone in
@theSNP
congratulating Thales UK in Govan for winning a £330M contract from the UK Government? No, me neither. Seems very strange given that it’s such good news for the area and the country, don’t you think?
I would just like to sincerely thank Celtic and Aberdeen for conjuring up such a surprising result in the last game of last season. It gave Rangers a much more favourable Europa draw and here we are £10M to the good! Thanks both for all your help - it is much appreciated
#WATP
"The Champions League, this is where we belong".
"Midtjylland? I mean, Midtjylland?"
"Oh, well, maybe the Europa League is more realistic".
"We can definitely go on and win the Europa Conference League".
"Who the fu*k are Bodø/Glimt anyway?"
"We'll walk the treble".
"I'm tired".
@EssexPR
"If you've got a vaccine pass you can do everything".
She's actually right. You can still catch covid, you can still be hospitalised and you can still infect others, some of whom could be hospitalised. Everything.
I put this together in May 2018 and it's interesting now to see how it's aged. The Scottish media (who should be hugely embarrassed, but probably aren't), summed up in a single graphic 🔴⚪️🔵
@JuliaHB1
For God's sake, Julia, I usually have an amount of time for you, but his death was only announced an hour or two ago - whatever you think of the Royals, at least show some respect.
@HumzaYousaf
I find this incredible. Scotland's Justice Minister spending his time on Twitter calling out a fake video. The saddest thing of all is that deep down, you just know he'd love it to be real. I guess you get what you vote for, but what we have here is an excuse for a politician.
@jessphillips
Smashing it? He actually asked for the 'evidence' for the removal of restrictions, when the evidence for the new variant came out of South Africa weeks ago. He'd still have us in lockdown and would now be implementing covid passports - and that's a fact.
Seeing Nicola Sturgeon in tears at the Covid Inquiry, I almost feel sorry for her.
(Not really, I can't stand the lying, manipulative, narcissistic bitch).
ALL games across the UK have held a minute's silence before kick off and that will continue this weekend. Yet strangely enough, one club,
@saintmirrenfc
, have opted for a minute's applause on Sunday. What a complete and utter embarrassment for Scottish football
@ScottishFA
@spfl
Congratulations to the English Premier League for finishing their season. No fuss, no hysteria, just very well organised - titles deservedly won & relegations deservedly confirmed. Take note
@spfl
where with a population 12 times smaller, it was apparently ‘impossible’. Pathetic.
Humza Yousaf has some really serious questions to answer. You can't just hand over £250k of taxpayers' money to a country from which the largest terrorist atrocity since 9/11 has just been launched and stay silent. Who was the money passed to and what was it actually used for?
Ryan Jack's face was not a happy picture when subbed last night, Aaron Ramsey sits on the bench despite apparently being fit. Steven Davis has been outcast and Kamara and Aribo are currently shadows of the players they can be. Serious question - is Gio losing the dressing room?
Isn’t it amazing that whenever I seem to watch Rangers in Europe, I rarely even notice the referee. They just quietly get on with their job, as any good referee should. Now contrast this with every single game we play in the SPL 🔴⚪️🔵
Spare a thought for the black guys in the Slavia Prague squad this morning. How the hell must they feel knowing that they're training/travelling/playing every day alongside someone of that mentality?
Following Old Firm charges, Rangers are to be fined a record £47M, coach Michael Beale receives a 6 month ban, Ryan Kent is banned from all football for 2 years & Alfredo Morelos is to be shot by firing squad on the pitch at Hampden Park. The shooting will be televised live.
Having worked in design and advertising for many years, I'm very familiar with the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), who ensure that all advertising is 'legal, decent, honest and truthful'. Given this ad is neither honest or truthful, how the hell has the ASA passed it?
The only professional club in Scotland & England to refuse to wear a poppy.
Chanting 'You can stick your f**king poppy up your arse' during the silence.
Flying anti-fascist banners & then refusing to honour those that gave their lives fighting... fascists.
Disgusting club.

@Telegraph
4 year-old children should be learning numbers, colours and the alphabet, but most of all, laughing, playing, making friends and having fun. What they definitely don't need, is their heads being filled with this absolute bollocks.
What an appalling message from 'Scotland's leading charity for challenging sectarianism'. Sectarian tweets from an SPL Chairman and the organisation suggests a donation to charity as an end to the matter. If that's 'challenging sectarianism', we might as well all give up now.
We are aware of the recent derogatory tweets directed towards Rangers fans by St Mirren chairman and subsequent apology. We suggest these sentiments could be made more tangible by a donation toward Rangers Charity Foundation to support its education work with young people.
Benfica have made around £1.5 billion in transfer fees over the past 10 years, have never lost a home match in the Europa League and yet some people on here are moaning at Rangers for not winning tonight? Serious dose of reality required 🔴⚪️🔵
@paulapplewood1
In my experience, it's because they are mostly quiet, law-abiding people who work very hard. Those qualities appear to stir hatred in many people today and I've no idea why.
Given that the car that caught fire at Luton Airport was clearly a hybrid with an electric battery, how long before the same happens on a car ferry at sea or inside the Channel Tunnel? Either could be catastrophic.
There are very serious problems ahead for Scotland. When law enforcement officers attempt to carry out their legal duties, only to be shot down by MPs who then encourage mob rule by urging agitators to flock to the scene, the rule of law has been hijacked. Very dangerous.
Once again, my club has made me incredibly proud tonight. Results come and go, as do managers and players, but the heritage and principles at Ibrox are as strong as ever. Pure class tonight 🔴⚪🔵
Strange that both Rangers and Celtic have drawn German opponents in their respective European competitions. Rangers have a tough task against Borussia Dortmund, while Celtic face Lidl 🔴⚪️🔵
My final word on yesterday. Last season we got to the Europa League final. This year, we've qualified for the Champions League group stages. We were terrible yesterday, but have not become a bad team overnight. Bit of perspective required 🔴⚪🔵
Is it really true that homeowners in Scotland have been given weeks by the SNP to install fire & heat alarm systems costing between £200 - £300 or risk prosecution? During a global pandemic when businesses are shutting down & people are losing their jobs? Seriously? This is sick.
Dear taxpayers of Scotland. You paid for this champagne breakfast. And the flight as well - 1st class, of course. In fact, in 2016/17, this man claimed over £235k in expenses, all paid for by you.
Yet now he's crowdfunding to finance a legal case against your Government.
#Snake
Bit disappointed with Connor Goldson if I'm honest. Rangers gave him a huge opportunity after his well publicised heart problems and though he's been a rock for us at times, this doesn't sit very well with me. That said, he will 100% regret his decision to leave Rangers 🔴⚪️🔵
I’m in England, so decisions taken by the SNP have no effect on me (thank God looking at the figures), but I can see from here that James Dornan is a disgusting individual and not fit for office. The good people of Scotland deserve far better.
@heidiallen75
Wow. Heidi Allen taking the moral high ground. When you said "I was a remainer, but the EU ref result is final and cannot be rerun" back in April 2017, I assume you didn't actually mean it? The rise of Nigel Farage (and I'm no fan) is absolutely down to MPs like you.
Steven Gerrard upgraded every department of our club & made us more professional from top to bottom. He also won us the league & gave us some magical European nights. The fact is, none of us really know what went on between him & the board. I take no pleasure in his sacking🔴⚪️🔵
I'm 100% behind Philippe Clement. We have good players to build a team around - Sterling, Diomande, Raskin, Danilo, and, if they stay, Butland, Cortes and Sima. There's no doubt in my mind that we'll be stronger next season. I'm already looking forward to it 🔴⚪️🔵
When we beat PSV away, we assumed the club would invest in the team. We didn't. So either Gio thought the squad was good enough to compete in the CL (delusional), or the board wouldn't release the money. The fans, who are consistently fleeced, have a right to know which it was.
The way Rangers fans have risen up on here over the past 24 hours or so has been absolutely magnificent. The hypocrisy of many in the media has now been exposed for all to see. It would just have been good to have some support from the club. Keep it going, guys and gals 🔴⚪🔵
I missed Piers Morgan's Life Stories with Gemma Collins last night. It truly amazes me how someone so utterly talentless can get so much exposure on TV. I don't think much of Gemma Collins, either.
"Over the past 17 years, I have taken tens of millions of pounds out of Celtic Football Club, but with our reserves dwindling rapidly, & 10-in-a-row up the shitter, I don't feel I am able to continue to profit at the level to which I've become accustomed. Consequently, I'm off."
If you're now allowed to pull down a statue because of bad things done in the past by the subject, then the statue of Jock Stein outside Celtic Park must be looking pretty vulnerable.
@EvaVlaar
@daveS1872
This is frightening and straight out of the WEF handbook. Voluntary it might be, but look on it as a test bed that won't be voluntary forever. Coming to a country near you very soon. Those that value freedom and democracy need to rise up and fight this before it's too late.
Remind me again
@spfl
why it was impossible for Scotland to complete its top league, while England, with a population over 10 times higher, is currently making it look very easy?
@JohnMullen_
Oh, we will mate. You had the chance to win the mythical 10 and your club has absolutely f*cked it. Poor recruitment, poor management but more importantly, a far better squad over at Ibrox who are fitter and better coached. Suck it up, sunshine 🔴⚪🔵
I have never, ever watched Celtic unless they're playing us and I never will. That's why I'm sat outside in the evening sun with a beer - more preferable in every way 🔴⚪🔵
@bennyjohnson
It must be great fun to fly in a private jet to Switzerland, stay in a top class hotel, eat, drink and be merry and sit in a comfy chair talking absolute bollocks for a couple of hours.
@alimacno
I'm in England but even so, I find it frightening that someone in an obvious position of authority & power can be that ignorant. Because she once had a holiday in Mexico & was able to use her credit card, an independent Scotland wouldn't have any currency issues. Utter lunacy.
@umawrnkl
It really is outrageous. People hoisting the flag of their country of birth to show support for the team during a major sporting tournament. I mean what are they thinking?
@DarrenBent
@legendsofibrox
Because under UEFA guidelines, I think that having been racially abused, he was then supposed to have shaken the player's hand and offered to buy him a drink after the game. It's an absolutely ridiculous decision from UEFA and sends out the wrong message, completely.

@swales_maria
As a designer, I really struggle with Eric Gill. He was a genius (and I don't use the word lightly) typographer, sculptor and printmaker and I love much of his work. Unfortunately, I'm also aware of his misdemeanors.
Derek McInnes has already turned us down once in the past. Even leaving aside his coaching inexperience, he should never be spoken to again by Rangers 🔴⚪️🔵
@kaukabstewart
1. Come up with a new policy.
2. Sit and watch businesses all over Scotland piss all over it.
3. Blame Westminster.
Honestly, it's beyond pathetic.
@lornaslater
You've taken the country backwards all so that a small minority of people can pretend to be a gender that they're not and never will be. It will have an impact on women, but you don't care - just as long as you can continue to virtue signal at every available opportunity 🤡
@STVNews
Our accounts are fully audited, though obviously we won't allow our own Treasurer to look at them. The whole thing is so obviously deceitful and corrupt, yet people still vote for them. I find it quite unbelievable.
@SocialM85897394
Does he mean when we were a thriving independent nation, when people had respect for law and order, and community spirit meant that people looked out for one another? Sounds good to me.
@JohnHartson10
Wow! Why on earth would an ex-professional footballer tweet something like this? It smacks of grievance, pettyness and an anger that one of his fellow countrymen is signing for Rangers. What a sad world you must inhabit.
@HumzaYousaf
And once again the 'Justice Minister' tweets about an ongoing live case. The lack of any professionalism is absolutely astounding. Honestly, this whole charade looks like it's been lifted straight out of a book titled Politics for Dummies.
And not for the first time, Nicola Sturgeon jumps the gun, makes utterly false allegations, then deletes the tweet and in the process makes herself look impetuous, desperate and thoroughly unprofessional. Good people of Scotland - you deserve so much better than this rubbish.
