       @grimethorpeband @classicalmusic @classicalpiano Was it Mendelssohn that said "Trombones are too sacred for frequent use"?!

       @davidstirrup What the mob did in Liverpool was appalling but I reserve judgement on the police, who in other circumstances arrest those who protest against this appalling government, and are institutionally racist and corrupt. The fact that I'm thinking and writing that one must not have unqualified trust in the actions of the police shows just how appalling the situation has become in the dis-United Kingdom.

       @Remittancegirl @davidstirrupHaving thought further about the disturbance in Liverpool, it occurred to me that the mob probably believed their actions to be in harmony with the 'hostile environment' policies and rhetoric of Braverman and her predecessor Patel. Thus they may have been genuinely surprised by the police response, and fought against them because they believed that the police were acting against the government?

       I went to The Museum of Scottish Lighthouses today. The C19th clockwork mechanism is still in good working order.#museum #Scotland #lighthouse #Fraserburgh #Aberdeenshire

       @ChrisMayLA6 The #Scottish government requires us to pay for approx £12k insulation in our house (built C1880) before we're eligible for a grant to install a #heatpump. The net cost would be about three times that of replacing our oil-fired boiler with another of the same.I suspect that many are in a similar position where #ecofriendly technology is not an economically viable option.The government must either increase funding, or reduce the stringent #EPC prerequisites for historic houses.

       @Polychrome Am I right in thinking that you have two different sizes of tape there?

       @PGBeattie @ChrisMayLA6 You'd think that, but it seems that a significant proportion of the electorate would vote for a turd if it had a blue rosette pinned to it.Perhaps the problem is that reading the Daily Mail and critical thinking are mutually exclusive?
