Loved contributing to this beautiful series with one of my favourite Portuguese poems and its gorgeous translation with @billykayscot in Scots. For me, the Scots words add to the appreciation and meaning of Pessoa’s original. Braw! 🇵🇹🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Our first #Cateran100 poem today is 'Mar Portugues' by Fernando Pessoa, one of the greatest European poets of the 20thc, and it's read to us by Maria João Kay .. first in Portuguese (text below) & then in Scots. bit.ly/2Ylrq9a Thank you Maria! #Cateranpoems

In memory of the late, great Jane Godley who was absolutely right.

I’ve just had a look at articles & press reports in France, Spain, Portugal, and Brasil about the violence in Northern Ireland. They all point to Brexit as the focus for these terrible events. All is explained in a very different manner from the MSM here. They tell the truth.

Well said! Exactly. Scotland will be rejoining the European Union. It has a status that no other country has ever had. Everyone in EU circles knows this. @ScotlandEurope has written on the matter if you want more information. Check them out. x.com/ScotWedPhotos/…

I had no idea that by marrying a Scotsman I would be living in an undemocratic nation state. In my own country we got rid of undemocratic impositions & oppressive politics 50 years ago. Shame on you @UKLabour !

One of the most shameful moments ever in this embarrassing programme.

Glenn Campbell tonight implied that John Swinney, in condemning Donald Trump's ethnic cleansing comments, was not focusing on the NHS. What kind of person exploits words of support for some of the most desperate people on the planet in this grotesque way? Shameful.

Nicola Sturgeon is one of the most remarkable politicians Britain has ever produced. Much admired and praised outside these islands. She’s not being investigated either. Your tweet is nasty and reeks of totally justified jealousy. #Badform

For years Nicola Sturgeon claimed to model herself on New Zealand’s Jacinda Ardern. Here’s how each of them spent Wednesday the 5th April 2023. Quite a contrast.

I met Nicola Sturgeon at a lunch years ago & told her that her inclusive words for EU citizens were perfect & thanked her. I was so happy she loved Portugal and hope as a friend of Portugal that she continues to go there. Gutter headlines like this one are nasty & distasteful.

To me this is contra natura. I understand English politicians and what they do. They’re used to lording it. But this👇is, to use a popular term, weird. It’s like having a Portuguese asking a Spaniard to control Portugal, a German to control Holland, a Swede to control Denmark. 😬

NEW: A Scottish Labour MP has asked Keir Starmer to roll back devolution and constrain how the SNP Government can spend its Budget... Katrina Murray raised her request with the Prime Minister in the Commons 👀
