Section 28 did not stop young people from growing up lesbian, gay or bisexual.
It just made it more difficult for them.

On the debate on the role of population growth in environmental crises, #geographer Prof Lisa Schipper 🌎 ✊ said: “How many people we have is irrelevant if only a small percentage are doing most of the damage.”

Scotland should be proud of 25 years of devolution. Despite its flaws, the Parliament has been good for Scotland, even with limited powers. Who knows what damage might have been inflicted on Scotland during 14 long years of unfettered Conservative power? heraldscotland.com/politics/viewp…

This isn’t the politics voters want. The English local elections were a rejection of the politics of culture war. Nor in many cases is this the media the public want. For large swathes of the media are willing partners in the degradation of public debate heraldscotland.com/politics/viewp…

Nicola Sturgeon is subjected to staggering levels of hate and misogyny, as are nearly all women politicians. However, with Sturgeon we never hear complaints from the opposing camp. Her looks, dress-sense - even her miscarriage - are all deemed fair game heraldscotland.com/politics/viewp…

I feel nothing but dread. I can't begin to imagine the terror people & children in Gaza are feeling right now. The UK must not stand idly by.
Our Govt must take action NOW. We need to do everything in our power to pressure the Israeli Govt to stop this violence.

What an amazing night last night was at a packed Portobello Town Hall, with 600 people turning up to hear Val McDermid talk about her fantastic new book, Queen Macbeth, in conversation with Nicola Sturgeon. 📚 Thank you to everyone who came along! ❤️

We've had a busy week at the Fair Maid's House... Hosting our Young Geographers planning their next magazine, an expedition night for students heading to Nepal with World Challenge, students from Kinnoull Primary, staff from Education Scotland, and a brass band!

This is part of what we call reproductive geopolitics… the deliberate letting die of children is denying the future of a population! #CeasefireNOW

I asked public health colleagues about starvation in Gaza. They say there is no precedent for what is happening theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

I don’t want tax cuts. I want the ambulance to arrive. I want good schools, public transport and town centres. I want investment in jobs, education and people. An extra tenner a week is no good to me when society is falling to bits.

More prep for #WhoOwnstheClyde The Empire Cafe podcast with Jude Barber How would it be if Glasgow had a working river again?
