You've lost control, Keir Starmer.
You wanted to be Prime Minister; but with that office come great responsibilities; responsibilities which you seem reluctant to accept.
Your leadership appears to be that of a newly-commissioned lieutenant: unsure of whose advice to accept; unwilling to issue definitive orders; unable to read the campaign maps with a wide and clear vision.
You've had a year to take up the reins; but you've let the horse of state run away with you.

In an abandoned quarry north of Cullipool on Luing, a felsite sill sits between layers of Easdale slate. The entire formation has been tilted from the horizontal by tectonic and volcanic activity over millions of years.

No matter how much #Starmer denies it, this is genocide.

The Zionazis led by the Murderer #Netanyahu have much to answer for.

UK, France & Germany have urged Iran "not to take any further action that could destabilise the region".

I hope that they've urged the same wish on the Tangerine Tyrant and the Murderer Netanyahu; because whatever happens next happens because of their actions.

Dreich.

It's been unseasonably dry so far this year; and now the bog that feeds the burns is drying up. The watercourses are becoming dry and dusty; Scotland's Fire & Rescue Service has issued severe or extreme fire risk warnings for most of Scotland.

Jings, but I love this place...

If you're not on the UK electoral register, and wish to vote in the general election on 4th July 2024, you can register online before 23.59 on the 18th of June.

If you're a student living away from home, you can register in both places - but you can only vote in one constituency.

If you have no permanent address, you can still register to vote.

Easdale Island after sundown.

(Yes, I know; but I still like the view...)

@CloudyMrs Not all who wonder are last... 😉

@CloudyMrs @Peternimmo It's a species of short-lived lettuce.

Let's just stop for a moment.

Let's read this, and think about the real message contained in this statement.

The ability to make decisions (and take action) untroubled by consideration of the law and justice is the hallmark of a dictatorship; or lunacy.

This Tory government (raiding-party) must be swept away.

The people of Britain must have democracy.

It goes on and on and on...

The erosion - the eradication - of human rights, our rights, by this malicious, avaricious, sociopathic band of brigands, the Tories, the Conservative Party, with imposed Prime Minister @RishiSunak, is just one more step down a very dark road.

They must be stopped. They must be removed, before it's too late.

@ChrisMayLA6 It occurs to me that the railway system is not being used as a method of allowing people to travel quickly & efficiently for their own aims, but is seen mainly as a way of providing transit for employees to fulfil the requirements of their employers. As with other privatised services, the issue of affordability is ignored: the return to shareholders is all that matters.
Public transport must, I suggest, become just that: transport for the public.
And that means re-nationalisation.
