The hoard of medieval coins discovered near the border includes a coin bearing the likeness of King James I. This evening marks the 588th anniversary of his assassination in Perth. Follow the link to learn more about the story. youtu.be/TaqUY5m7LsM?...

Can somebody explain to me like I’m a 5-year-old why the Duke of Westminster can pass on his fantastic wealth tax-free in a trust fund, but a farmer can't pass on his working farm without paying inheritance tax?

Farms don't usually pass in trusts as there is seldom enough income to keep the lawyers oiled. Toffs on the other hand pass their estates on via trusts to avoid inhererence tax. If Labour were really for working people, they would scrap the trust fund loophole and save working farmers.

The air is thick with brine and the murmured echoes of the past, as if the estuary itself remembers—its waves lapping like the turning of a page in an old, half-forgotten tale.

Perth today #farmingprotest substack.com/@tairmuir/no...

Today, my agri-based son is protesting in Perth for his industry's future. People ask, why should farmers be taxed differently? Fair question—why should any successful, revenue-generating business be taxed out of existence? #farmingprotest #savebritishfarming

A roofer wants to charge me £8k to fix my roof. He isn't VAT registered and “has loads of jobs on at the moment mate” with the VAT threshold at £85k I suspect he is either only doing ten jobs like mine a year or he's a cowboy? What’s your feeling?

I've unfollowed a ‘70s celeb on Substack because his humour is still in the ‘70s

Man climbs high with hands of steel, Threading stars with wire and light, Cables hum where song was real, No dove finds rest in endless night.

So our little church has unionised with three others for the sake of simplifing tnings. The group had four Kirk sessions. We now have one Kirk session and 7 working groups 😆 Good luck with that minister.
