#Colonialism in a nutshell!

“Colonialism demands history begin past the point of colonization precisely because, under those narrative conditions, the colonist’s every action is necessarily one of self-defense. The story begins not when the wagons arrive, but only after they are circled." - Omar El Akkad

2 contrasting stories about #electricity in #Scotland:
In the #Borders, controversy about where to put new cross border #pylons. As electricity continues to replace fossil fuels and more #renewable sources come online such stories are increasingly common

But in #Renfrewshire, the renewal of the National #Grid sees some of the oldest transmission towers (1929) being demolished- a reminder that they've been part of the #landscape for almost a century

“At one moment when President Richard Nixon was taking part in his inauguration ceremony, he appeared flanked by Lyndon Johnson and Billy Graham […] it was one of those historical coincidences which send a little shudder through the mind…”

– George MacDonald Fraser, THE STEEL BONNETS (1971)

3/5

…the descendants of three notable Anglo-Scottish Border tribes-families who lived and fought within a few miles of each other on the West Marches in Queen Elizabeth's time were standing side by side, and it took very little effort of the imagination to replace the custom-made suits with leather jacks or backs-and-breasts. Only a political commentator would be tactless enough to pursue the resemblance to Border reivers beyond the physical, but there the similarity is strong.

Lyndon Johnson's is a face and figure that everyone in Dumfriesshire knows; the lined, leathery Northern head and rangy, rather loose-jointed frame belong to one of the commonest Border types. The only mystery is when the "t" which distinguishes Border Johnstones from the others of the name was dropped from his surname. Billy Graham has frequently advertised his Scottishness, perhaps a little thoughtlessly, since there are more Grahams on the southern side of the line than on the northern, but again, the face is familiar.

Richard Nixon, however, is the perfect example. The blunt, heavy features, the dark complexion, the burly body, and the whole air of dour hardness are as typical of the Anglo-Scottish frontier as the Roman Wall. Take thirty years off his age and you could put him straight into the front row of the Hawick scrum and hope to keep out of his way. It is difficult to think of any face that would fit better under a steel bonnet.

Billy Graham stands at a podium, reading a text. His left hand grips the podium and his right is raised slightly in front of him, his hand clenched into a fist. Richard Nixon looks over Graham's right shoulder. Lyndon Johnson stands to Nixon's right. Other figures in formal dress stand, some with bowed heads.

European visitors now need an entry permit to visit the UK.

Travellers from Europe will now need a digital Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) permit.

The permit can be purchased online for £10 (12 euros) until 9 April, when the price will rise to £16. The UK government follows other countries in seeking to strengthen immigration security by screening people before they cross its borders.
