Sam KingtonBack-end developer looking for work: Perl or similar, Glasgow or UK remote. I write well-crafted and -commented code, not too clever, with an emphasis on getting names right, testing and maintainability. I like talking to other people in the team and wider business. https://illuminated.co.uk/cv.pdf #getfedihired

Undiscovered ScotlandA glimpse of a world now gone. Inside the evocative Laidhay Croft Museum which stood beside the main A9 road a mile north-east of Dunbeath in Caithness. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/dunbeath/laidhay/index.html
Emeritus Prof Christopher MayAs we know, workers in the UK are having difficulty with the cost of living while real wages are struggling to reach the level they were last at before the 2008 global financial crisis; many economists argue this is due to a lack of productivity growth & the general stagflation that characterises recent UK economic history....
Well I say that, but not quite all workers: in 2025 FTSE100 executives saw their pay rise (on average) by nearly a fifth;
so alright for some, eh?

I see there is a good old fashioned tankie standing for the Highlands & Islands: standing on a policy that: Ukraine will lose the war; we should enter a non-agression pact with Russia & buy their cheap oil; spend nothing on defence & use that money for public services.
How any of these fall within devolved competency of the Scottish Parliament is a whole different question he doesn't answer- it's not even as if he calls for this to be the policies of an independent Scotland.
