What did Hamza do for Dundee?     (www.youtube.com)

This video comes from a fringe political party https://homelandparty.org

It is unashamedly nationalist https://homelandparty.org/our-thinking/nationalism-explained/

Its policy pages are a little light.

"Environment" is mostly pro-farmer. Which is correct globally, but awkward for crowded island that has traded manufactures for food for centuries.

"Community Care" relies on picking the fruit of the magic money tree. My understanding is that life-span = health-span + grim-span and that recent medical progress has been adding three years to the grim-span for every year that it adds to the health span. Ignore that and the magic money tree will be plucked bare and die :-(

Digging up a Nicola Sturgeon scandal from 2010     (caltonjock.com)

This blog post is about her pleading for leniency for fraudster Abdul Rauf.

I followed the link from a youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvUE7X-2mjY titled "SNP Nicola Sturgeon has a very dubious past. This is old news but not widely known."

I'm more interested in the blog itself Caltonjock https://caltonjock.com/ which seems to be active and busy digging into the details of Scottish politics.

Sounding the Sumburgh Foghorn     (www.youtube.com)

Out of use since 1987, the foghorn was painstakingly restored by Brian Johnson. Shown in the video is the annual Foghorn sounding at Sumburgh Lighthouse, Shetland, Scotland. Brian starts up the 1951Kelvin K-Series Diesel 44hp Engines. The engines power the Alley and MacLellan compressors, which in turn, power the foghorn.

I am old and cannot resist the nostalgia of chunky old machinery, which this short, skillfully edited video, shows off beautifully.

Selfish Stupid Senile Edinburgh | As Gazan children were carpebombed & Ukraine fell into chaos, all the international child rapers, Ghislaine Maxwells, & demonic filth occupied Edinburgh at New Year to have their fun at the expense of a broken world. Dystopian.     (www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com)
