For anyone who follows me, I've set up a Mastodon account - @bluesprints@mastodon.scot
This seems like a necessary contingency measure given the way Musk is burning twitter down.
Give me a wave, a follow, a toot, a blog, a whatever it is we do over there. 🙂 – at Scone, Scotland

Michael Gove and Sir Chris Wormald approved the purchase of 5 years supply of PPE when the remit was to build up only 4 months.
They oversaw huge waste in PPE contracts. They have both had questions to answer for a very long time.

Enoch Powell revisits his infamous “Rivers of Blood” speech, accidentally forgetting he died and posthumously possessed the unsuspecting body of a gormless, diminutive son of East-African Hindu Punjabi immigrants.

It is interesting (and disappointing) that it is not more widely and punitively noted that Rupert Murdoch through his media empire (inc Fox "News") has, during the past 55+ years, damagingly, divisively, traitorously (perhaps permanently) changed the course of human history (for the worse by far) seriously wounding democracy globally along his poisonous, disinformative way.
He should be in jail and should remain there alongside his and Roy Cohn's creature, Donald Trump.
At the same time, Julian Assange, imprisoned for revealing the truth about war crimes in Iraq, should be released immediately.

Private health firms donated £800,000 to Conservatives
Where there is £ donated decisions are influenced
Years ago Drs were prevented from receiving gifts (pens, post-it pads, etc) from Pharmaceutical companies for ‘fear’ of influence

This govt is not interested in kindness, empathy nor understanding. SM trolls, MSM puppets and malicious politicians, who directly attack compassion, human rights and those who care for the vulnerable, are undermining a healthy society. They are the antithesis of basic decency.
The short version of Preston's thread below is: The Tories are going to make casino bankers obscenely rich again while everyone else pays the bankers gambling debts.

Gas storage - Theresa May shut down a large gas storage facility in 2017 when advised not to. Most European countries have at least 20% storage we have 1%. Tory government u fit to govern.

IMPORTANT
Pls share
In May govt announced decent help based on predicted 42% rise in the Oct to Apr energy price cap (that'd take a typical bill to £2,800)
Now the rise for that period's likely to be 126% (£4,460 for a typical bill)
Pls read why & my plea to the new PM

If you’re insane enough to think Salman Rushdie deserved what happened to him, you’re not going to saved or favoured by God.. because you’re a psychotic, delusional, hate-filled fool. Compassion, peace and kindness should be at the core of every belief and religion not hate.
I got the L6 JT Variax about a month ago, but it wasn't quite right for me. Swapped the neck for a Clapton profile maple job, Strat knobs and now it's a really decent Super-Strat with the bonus of all the modelling sounds.
Ohh, a new (to me) old toy. This still makes some cracking sounds. Ace with Parker Fly mag+piezo. 😁 – at Scone, Scotland

Significant white paper by @midiaresearch on how a User Centric economy would transform streaming.
It shows that ‘big stars’ will ‘lose out” only because ,via Pro-rata, they benefit unfairly at other artists expense ?

A better musician than I needs to do a cover of:
"It's my Party and I'll lie if I want to,
lie if I want to,
lie if I want to,
I can't be true, 'coz I'm lying to you"
C'mon twitter, do your stuff :-)
