Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? — Epicurus Why is such wisdom no longer ‘common’?

Number 1, Whip-ma-whop-ma-gate, York. I don't think there is a number 2, a pity as the street name is so cool. 18th century houses close to the remnant of St Crux church, demolished in 1898 as it was 'unsafe'. So unsafe dynamite was needed to finish the job. #ArchitecturalIlustration #ArtYear

Social media curfews & as the necessity of major military coooperation across Europe becomes ever more obvious, why on earth were Brexiters so spooked by the prospect of a European army? (Unless they were shilling for Putin all along, obvs.) tinyurl.com/4rrn2mkx

I’m wondering. When you’re in a beauty spot (or indeed in a high street) and someone insists on sitting in a vehicle next to you with the engine running, why is it always a dirty diesel?

England: Less than half of English voters see maintaining the Union as a priority. Scotland: Support for independence has doubled since 2000. Wales: Independence support is up significantly in recent years. It's clear. The old Union no longer speaks to the hopes of the people. #ImagineScotland

At this stage, Trump’s deal is best ignored. Ukraine & Europe need to, and can, win outright. If Trump then tries to help Russia (eg lifting sanctions), the EU should consider sanctions on anything enabling of Russia from the US.

To be honest, if England decides to vote increasingly right-wing (and yes, that does include Labour for which socialism has become anathema), that is their right. But let Scotland, Wales and NI choose their different path.

What is the point of a Labour Party that imposes austerity cuts on the most vulnerable? In the SNP, we’re making different choices - lifting children out of poverty with our Scottish Child Payment, ending the two-child cap and standing up for Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
