@andy Two people on a whole island? Too crowded for me. Do they have anything by myself on #Rockall?

For goodness sake. #Scotland needs to be #independent & stop #English #Toffs interfering. The #fish should have #Rockall to do with #Cameron.

David Cameron vetoes #Rockall fishing agreement between Scotland & Ireland

Despite #Irish & Scottish governments spending 2 years agreeing to the deal – #fisheries are a devolved power – it has been shut down by the Foreign Office

Sources said the reason was entirely political - UK Govt didn't want to be seen agreeing a deal with an #EU nation

The veto is latest example of #Westminster overruling devolved #Scottish government decisions

I think I may have a robot fetish. #Rockall wasn’t my first love.

I am still awed and amazed that I can see Mars.

Unfortunately, Rockall Island doesn’t have a masto account. I won’t make a habit of reposting from the other place, but a forsaken rock in the Atlantic needs all the help it can get.
