Worked Stone At The Ness…….
Not worked as in used to build with, worked as in making useful things from stone.
This piece by Sigurd Towrie has much of interest in a lot of ways. I like Sigurd’s comparison with the multi-uses that a screwdriver is put to…..

This is a good example of why the Ness still needs funding – there’s so much work still to be done to put the pieces of the picture together.
If you’d like to donate…..

BBC Pics of Scotland….

A lot of the younger generation of my family are AC/DC fans, so I was tickled to see Alex MacLeod’s pic taken in Kirriemuir - and shared the link to my FB and to ‘Classic Rock Lovers Limerick’!
From ‘War On Want’….
"Despite the UK government claiming to have partially suspended UK arms exports to Israel, a new report[1] has revealed that the UK has continued to send thousands of military items amid Israel’s ongoing genocide of Palestinians.
The UK arms export suspension announced in September 2024 applied to just 30 of the 350 export licences to Israel. Ministers claimed this would prevent UK weapons being used against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip – but the new report makes clear that UK political leaders have misled both parliament and the public.
These arms exports are the very weapons Israel has used to kill over 61,000 Palestinians, injure more than 118,000, flatten homes and destroy hospitals.
Three ways you can take action now:
JOIN THE PROTEST FOR PALESTINE
Produced by the Palestinian Youth Movement, Workers for a Free Palestine and Progressive International, the new report is damning. Since the UK announced its limited arms export suspension:
- 8,630 items were exported under the category “bombs, grenades, torpedoes, mines, missiles and similar munitions of war and parts thereof – other.”
- 146 items identified as “tanks and other armoured fighting vehicles, motorised, whether or not fitted with weapons, and parts of such vehicles”.
- The report also raises concerns that the UK may have violated its own suspension of direct sales of F-35 fighter jet parts to Israel.
This is not an arms export suspension. It’s business as usual.
Israel is committing war crimes – and the UK is complicit. We must keep building pressure on the UK government to end all arms exports to Israel and to hold those in power accountable for enabling Israel’s genocide of Palestinians.
In solidarity,
Neil Sammonds
Senior Campaigner (Palestine)
War on Want
P.S. Even if you’ve already emailed your MP, please consider doing so again – every message adds pressure. MPs need to know that their constituents are watching – and that silence in the face of Israel’s genocide is not acceptable.
