When I first heard it, I thought 'Build Back Better' was terrible English. My opinion has not changed. It is a terrible slogan. However, it has been adopted by Joe Biden and Boris Johnson. Why? Michael Gove used it at the Scottish Tory Conference yesterday in Glasgow, opposing it to the SNP agenda, and he …

Searching for Jesus Christ
Some people find Jesus Christ easily and others have a more circuitous route involving a lot of difficulty. Professor Jordan Peterson seems to fall into the latter category. In truth, Jesus Christ finds us, as the Good Shepherd looking for His lost sheep, but our experience is that we find Christ. We do so because …
Time to replace the SNP Scottish Administration

Meghan plus 1 – Tabloid Press minus 1

State Pension age
Today I qualify for my State Pension, delayed in recent years from 65 to 66 years old. It was a long time coming. I am sure my mother thought the same when she was finally delivered of her second son at 15 minutes after midnight! Like the Royals, what do you give to people who …
