Heartbroken ๐
This week, Iโve been speaking a dead language at work, at the school gates, in the street & at the shops. Iโve sang, sworn & thought in a language that does not exist.
Why didnโt you come to my country & tell me it was dead much earlier in life Jonathan Meades?
"Anas Sarwar's brilliant performance has absolutely persuaded me to vote sLab..." said no one who was watching Question Time this evening. Dire.

What a ridiculous interview. He's Scottish not English so why would he support another country. He said I wish them well, so leave it at that instead of going on and on. Do they ask other nation's leaders if are cheering on other countries, I find it bizarre.
@GeorgeMonbiot
One of the most despicable things I witnessed during indyref1 was when Gordon Brown said organ transplants would end with a Yes vote, it was an utter lie. Not to mention signing the cheques for the Iraq war, PFI, the 75p rise in pensions & letting bankers off. A fraud of a man.
@BBCScotlandNews

Calling Nicola Sturgeon a "destroyer of women's rights" when the Scottish gender pay gap has dropped from 11.5% to 2% under her tenure and the Period Products Act, giving people a world-first legal right to free period products, just came into force seems... not entirely hinged.

Why is Matt Forde, a "comedian", invited on to political programmes as a commentator & allowed to pass untrue comments unchallenged? His obsession with Jeremy Corbyn is weird, his rant on the left was despicable. He has nothing of value to say. Why have him on?

Disgraceful. I cannot understand the mentality of Labour & Tory councillors in Edinburgh who decided to use the funds meant for children to be spent on celebration of an unelected monarchy instead. Remember this next time they claim to be "hard up"!

Also Scotland voted to Remain, but is taken out against its will & is now one the hardest to be hit by Brexit stuck in a right wing isolationist uk. You'll say "it was a uk vote", which makes the case for indy in a nutshell.

Some of your articles are pretty good and I have no problem with journalists being critical of governments, politicians, etc. But to be fair to Huw, the article is bilge. It's attacking a language basically for existing. It's bizarre & spiteful.
