When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for
discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another.
Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.

For Starmer, the least toxic option is a nuclear submarine, not a wannabe nepo baby who’s thrown everything but the kitchen sink and a whole lot of money into being FM! Even with the combined efforts of the‘Scottish’ media behind him Sarwar is still failing!

Bagpipe Central - Reel Set/Half Set of Highland Pipes for Sale
Reel Set/Half Set of Highland Pipes for Sale I bought the pipes second hand in the premises of J & R Glen in the Lawnmarket in Edinburgh c 1977
I learned to play a few tunes on the pipes many years ago but soon realised that my talents lay elsewhere. Nobody in my family took them up, so they’re on sale here, looking for a good home.

Malcolm Offord has claimed Anas Sarwar “bounced up to him” in Paisley Town Hall at the start of the election campaign and said “we need to work together, Reform and Labour, to remove the SNP”. Sarwar hasn't denied the claim. Labour is so right wing it's willing to cooperate with the far right.
