@dhothersall This is often apt when seeing her posts…
@dhothersall Is it outside broadcast resources? A lot of it will be in at Holyrood just now? (Just a guess, but old enough to remember there being no football on Saturday night as there had been something like a Royal visit.)
Struggling to believe that the Admiral Duncan bombing was 25 years ago today. This painful and powerful personal testimony from @Writer_Jon_Cash brings it all back, and his reminder of how hate in newspapers has real world impacts is all too vital today. theguardian.com/society/2024/a…
Spare a thought for poor Count Binface this Thursday. Years spent establishing himself as a joke candidate for London mayor, and then the Tories run Susan Hall.
Maybe you were sacked for continually and publicly disagreeing with your party's policies from the front bench? Just a thought.

@BlackIslePMD @GaryinScotland @dhothersall As someone who is an active member of the Scottish Greens: the membership, who had the power to pull us out of the BHA, were absolutely *not* aligned with the post-target-abandonment announcements. That's why the petition to debate withdrawal happened.
@joannaccherry Here is @JohnMasonMSP protesting against women’s rights yesterday. Will you be condemning this?
When I was a TV political reporter with Newsnight & C4 News, if I'd said only a few months before a general election that I was thinking of standing in that election, I would have expected the BBC or ITN to sack me.

@dhothersall Exactly. This is an issue which obsesses a very loud minority. It's just not a priority for most voters, who are happy to live and let live and are more concerned with health, education and the economy. There's ample polling showing this.
It's today.
@Clewis010 @dhothersall This is obviously, and maliciously, wrong. The disagreement between the parties is on climate issues, not on gender.
@dhothersall Is it as simple as they don't anticipate speaking to any 'local' issues as originally planned, with the presumably semi-local line-up so better to postpone that event and start afresh.
Less than 50% of the population do waged work actually. Many of the others are "putting a shift in" caring tor children or adults. Many are retired. Many are children. Many are too ill to work.

@dhothersall cf "former Cabinet Secretary" - it's Alex Neil or they'd name them in the headline, duly ignored
I would be interested to understand the logic of moving this programme from Galashiels to Edinburgh because something big happened. Easier to get higher profile guests in Edinburgh? Would people seriously not hop on the Borders Railway to Galashiels? It takes 50 minutes.

The BBC should get this basic fact right. (There is no ticking clock without an actual resignation from the post, but Yousaf has simply said he will resign in the future once a successor is chosen). Several programmes have said there is a 28 day deadline now.

Do you want to make a difference to the lives of LGBTI+ people in Scotland? We are seeking a new Policy and Campaigns Officer, to work with us on our ground-breaking work. For more info see here: equality-network.org/about/vacancie… The closing date for applications is Tuesday 7th May.
I read "a former deputy leader" and immediately knew it was Sillars. 😂

@dhothersall Just heard @ChrisMasonBBC on @BBCRadio4 kicking off discussion with "need to get away from issues like GRR." It's ceaseless nonsense about the actual reality of what Scottish Parliament does, fed by dangerous GC propaganda weaponised by SNP opponents
@dhothersall It's weird. It's not like we didn't all watch it happen. The closest it gets to reality is that Yousaf probably let himself be convinced by the SNP GC caucus that he could safely dump the greens, and should do so first before the greens dumped BH (which was never very likely)

@dhothersall I can tell you for a fact that a lot of people don't who the leader of the Scottish Labour Party is. Sorry, but it's true. I'm a hairdresser, I talked to multiple people every single day. A lot of people could not name him. That needs to change.
@dhothersall I've said it before, offering biscuits to the journalists does not make him a nice man. He's as unpleasant as the rest of them. His performance over the exam debacle during Covid is proof of that. He's not in politics to make things better.
@dhothersall @Clewis010 Aye, but you're just saying that because you're such a big SNP fan.
@dhothersall At first glance, I was confused why the Bank of Scotland was becoming involved in this issue.
@dhothersall Peasants shouldn’t complain . Know your place.
@dhothersall That was my guess, and perhaps diaries were such that there were time pressures precluding the travel time. Or at least I hope it was something like that rather than you hicks not being able to speak in complete sentences all the time.
@dhothersall I suppose no matter what your group, your purpose whether it be a friends group, a family, a training course with strangers, and a political party, there's always one...
@Clewis010 @dhothersall GRR was passed with support from SNP Tory Green Lib Dem and Tory MSP's Humza wasn't even leader at the time
@dhothersall @Blueber13415354 It's easier to fool people than it to convince people they've been fooled
@dhothersall @BioMickWatson Convinced it was a personal slight and that the best revenge was to drive through the tunnel that the SNP right had painted on the side of a mountain.
@dhothersall @P_Orbital Yeah, I'm not sure what he could have done, but what he did was awful
@_cerberus_ @dhothersall @Blueber13415354 Yeah it was badly managed. Even if he calculated that BHA had to end, there are ways to manage that without torpedoing your relationship with the other party involved. Politics aside, it was poor relationship management.
@_KennyMitchell @dhothersall @Blueber13415354 Very much a case of him and advisors not thinking through potential repercussions, too. Should’ve been obvious they’d have been pissed off but apparently this was a surprise to the SNP
@AdamRamsay @dhothersall Let's fave it, though, she' shad a strong agenda on this for a long time and been very clear about this for at least 3.5 years.
@dhothersall Willie Rennie: does anyone think global warming will be a good thing? I think Lady Gaga is a really interesting artist
@awood000 @sueevansprotect @dhothersall I didn't ask you what a systemic review was. I asked what harms were identified and evidenced.
@dhothersall @PeterGrantMP @ThisIsBrucifer Happened to follow that and the SO refs on an earlier thread today, but I’m sure an awful lot of voters don’t know this.
@dhothersall He did, of course, lead the SNP to their worst ever Holyrood result. In the current climate that’s what counts as a “safe pair of hands”.
