Not a Moment Too Soon is the eleventh book of poetry by national treasure Frank Kuppner. This tour de force consists of three extended sequences, at once existential, playful, absurd and human, and we're delighted to share an extract from it today 👇 booksfromscotland.com/2024/04/not-a-…
Regardless of anyone in Scotland’s political view we all surely unite in detesting this smarmy, arrogant shite. If you don’t know who any of them are then that is your problem you are thick and ignorant.

Watch this classic Anglocentric ignorance/arrogance. We know the British in Scotland don't care how they are ridiculed as long as they get their crumbs off the table & a pat on the head once in a while. But Scots need their dignity back, & it starts now x.com/GMB/status/178…

This from @bellacaledonia is a warning about the direction the UK is moving not just under the Tories but Labour also. Gordon Brown's talk of Federalism in the UK is complete bollocks just as we all expected. Worth paying attention to this.

The stuff currently being written under @HumzaYousaf twitter posts are unbelievable. The rampant, vitriolic racism is honestly fucking rancid. What the fuck is this pish? I wasn’t his fan but ffs get a grip. The state of yourself if you’re posting shit like that in 2024.
Cheered Quine Lesley on against Brillo, but I turned down a few speaking slots yesterday because I didn’t feel I had energy/skill to handle the thudding narrative. We need something like NEON’s Training Courses neweconomyorganisers.org/work/training except for Indy…
Must say I went from half asleep to 100mph listening to Andrew Neil’s nonsense this morning. Took an hour afterwards to calm down. I’m sure we can expect a lot more of these lazy assaults on Scotland & indy.
I'd consider or would have considered myself a fan of Andrew Neil - from days of This Week - but I seen the clip and every point, whether emotional or attempted factual I thought 'This is wrong' at it. Even I know as a layman of the curriculum of excellence at education.
'What a load of absolute rubbish' 🔥 Broadcaster @LesleyRiddoch was on fire as she took down Andrew Neil and Nick Ferrari's claims about 'basket case' Scotland this morning.
Forbes certainly doesn't speak for me.
Hard day for Humza & his family. Re any contest, it has to be the new generation & Kate Forbes. The SNP must speak up for all in Scotland. From a personal perspective, I and so many want to live to see the day. As my Mum Winnie said: Stop the world: Scotland wants to get on. 🏴
Many of us rightly complain abt the Londoncentric nature of the UK. Here is the Edinburghcentric version of Scotland thinking that political power & authority is abt our capital city rather than ALL of Scotland & its people.

Regardless of anyone in Scotland’s political view we all surely unite in detesting this smarmy, arrogant shite. If you don’t know who any of them are then that is your problem you are thick and ignorant.
