Rory Stewartâs 'Middleland' is merely a mirage of moonshine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
OF course former Conservative MP Rory Stewart has invented âMiddlelandâ (Anger as Rory Stewart 'erases' Scottish history, Sep 30). Itâs a realm of fantasy worthy to rival Middle-earth or Narnia. Muddying the waters around a notoriously murky period of history may have suited the upper-class, arch-Unionist, self-appointed pundit during the run-up to the 2014 referendum and, of course, it was promptly and eagerly pounced upon by the dear old British Brainwashing Corporation. Sadly for Rory S
Toy business is booming all thanks to adults playing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
‘POLLY POCKET’S ROCKET” spluttered The Sun this week, after it learned that toy-maker Mattel is bringing out a play set based on “racy TV drama Bridgerton”. Someone think of the children, implored a range of outraged internet users. “I’m no prude,” said consumer rights expert Martyn James, “but as a rule, I’d say if the show is unsuitable for young eyes, then the spin-off products certainly aren’t.” Meanwhile, the Daily Mail advised its readers that “disgruntled shoppers have expressed their dis
Is it now too late to heed AI extinction warnings? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
THE “godfather of AI” must surely be a bit irked. Professor Geoffrey Hinton has been working in the field for decades, and won the Nobel Prize for physics in 2024. But when he warned there was a 10% to 20% chance of AI leading to human extinction within the next three decades, the response was muted. Now, suddenly, people are listening. The BBC wants to hear from him again, and a clip of Victoria Derbyshire interviewing him, responding with shock and horror to the “news” of our possible imminent
Letâs hope Gazan youngsters can overcome the odds to study in Scotland (opens the original)
Read excerpt
LUCY Jackson and Hamish Morrisonâs pieces in the Sunday National (Aug 30) about just a few young Palestinians from Gaza who have been offered places at Scottish universities but will find it almost impossible to take them up due to financial constraints and the fact the UK Government, understandably, canât guarantee their safe passage to Britain, left me absolutely livid! Having to raise enough dosh tae pay the annual tuition fees o ower £30,000 surely must be nigh impossible whilst under b
Will price capping supermarket essentials really improve public health? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
WILL cheaper supermarket bread make Scotland a healthier place? This is surely a key question to ask when weighing up the pros and cons of the Scottish Government’s food price cap policy. John Swinney has made clear that in different circumstances, the policy would go beyond the limited powers of the Scottish Parliament. He believes it can now be implemented using public health provisions, because the cost of living crisis has “got so tough it is now impacting upon our nation’s nutrition”. The i
