The Scottish Word: sprose with its definition and its meaning illustrated and captioned with the word used in context in the Scots language and in English.

Political Cartoons.

l don’t get angry regularly enough to try making many political cartoons but these three are annoying me mightily with their self regard trumping whatever great cause they claim for themselves.

The Me first brigade seems to be in the ascendancy. Any cause they adopt is used to get the ‘Me Me Me Me’ into the spotlight and would be dropped if it didn’t. Bring back politics with (at least some) integrity.
