The Times are reporting that Britain will likely join America in taking military intervention tonight against Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen.

An outpouring of sorrow and volcanic rage en masse on Twitter/X as people watch #MrBatesVsThePostOffice on STV/ITV, a 4 part drama showcasing the true story of one of largest miscarriages of justice in British history. It is moving, compelling viewing.
The #PostOfficeScandal has been going for over 20 years; 736 subpostmasters were prosecuted between 2000 - 2014. At least 60 subpostmasters have died without seeing justice or compensation.

Riots, looting, and fires are currently happening in Dublin, following a distressing violent crime.
Racist remarks and far right ideologies are being shared on social media in association with the violence.
A number of gardaรญ have been attacked and a garda vehicle set alight near Parnell Square in Dublin, following an earlier knife attack on a woman and children.

It's interesting to see very different journalistic and #ScotPol takes on the findings.
