Healthy food – If they try to tell you it’s just the same in English schools, here’s your answer
As Glasgow Live and BBC Scotland announce the above, they will not be telling you this: Shocking healthy school food breaches in 3 out of 4 schools in England but Scotland’s schools stick to rules …

Our planet is heating faster than at any time in the geological record. That's terrifying. But here's the hopeful part: most of us are worried and want action — we just stay silent, assuming no one else cares. 7 in 10 people rarely or never talk about it. So the silence feeds itself

Well worth a watch. The end of Barry’s talk reminded me of the Chernobyl tv drama, the plant operators thought they had a Fail Safe button in the event things went horribly wrong.

Does it ever occur to labour shills rehashing anti-independence nonsense, such as there’s a contradiction over a country wanting to be a voluntary independent member state in the EU and a country subordinate to its larger neighbour in an undemocratic union, is a bit of a contradiction?

I fully agree with Luigi. One sentence should chime for supporters of Scottish independence and Irish reunification “; for English exceptionalists, the notion of compromise is anathema”.
