It could happen.

Over 65s own half of all housing wealth (source:FT) That’s around £3trillion. As they pass, guess where that wealth goes? Millennials are about to become £millionials.

Rewilding in numbers.

For no particular reason I can think of, I am reminded of this intro to Chapter 6 in my book, The Poor Had No Lawyers.

Kate Forbes - pours some sanity onto the wood burning burach. How did Patrick Harvie and co get away with enforcing this ban and then pretending it isn’t one? They’re a total liability.

Parade of over-wrought respondents to this post seem unaware that Maggie Chapman is a nationalist and that the nationalist Scottish Greens are part of the nationalist Scottish government. What planet…etc.

Edward Burtynsky's 'Shipbreaking' series, one of the most powerful photographic projects I've ever seen

Message for Scottish Government. If country dwellers are 'off grid' for basic services, just leave us to get on with it. If we’re on, gonnae help with serious problems like no land, buses, affordable housing, schools, childcare b4 you start micro-managing our stoves? thenational.scot/politics/24245…

I see many replies dismissing legit concerns cos “everybody should have known about this already” & it’s only for newbuilds. My inbox suggests most in rural Scotland disagree. Also new builds face same power cuts, fuel poverty & local wood source that make woodburners essential.

Kate Forbes acts on woodburner ban

Surely AI lost all credibility when Google’s Gemini gave this when asked to depict a Nazi soldier.

Pheasants are queer.

SNP bans wood-burning stoves! Even in the Highlands of Scotland. They may take our lives but they will never…
