Rarely have I been lost on the mountains, but the few times I did get disoriented, I asked Blaze to take us home and followed him with complete trust. He never once let me down, even when I kinda doubted his choice of direction. Once in a lifetime dog and best friend.

To so many people, Blaze was the hero of his children's books. To others, he was the dog raising 1,000's of pounds for mountain rescue. For some he was the choice for Scotlands global ambassador dog. Others followed his mountain adventures in iScot magazine and online, but to me he was just my dog

Offer Ukraine immediate NATO membership or immediate deployment of enough Western troops to stop and hold Russia and Zelensky will immediately step down. He said as much. But urging him to step down to please Trump and Pu and for nothing in return for Ukraine is nonsense or work on behalf of Ru.

"But there's something that’s much more difficult to confront than the inspiration and dignity of Gisèle Pelicot. 51 men. 51 men who are #notallmen… but who are, also, quite a lot of men. 51 of them, in fact." Exceptional opening monologue by @sophyridge.bsky.social tonight. ~AA

Lou I’m so sorry this happened to you. Like you I’ve been there myself. All rapists and abusers should be given life and serve that time. It will never compensate their victims or give them their life’s back regardless of a sentence but at least it would stop them abusing again. Such a brave woman.

Rapists should be jailed for life. Rape victims like myself are forever scarred, & the rest of our lives are forever different. Why should rapists get to enjoy the rest of their lives? As for the rapists of Pelicot, they should get life for every time they raped her. Absolute scum of the earth.

Black & white image of a very young girl pushing the frame of a broken baby stroller, which has no tyres on its wheels and no materials covering if the child looks uncared for and miserable. Behind her is a wall which has graffiti daubed on in big letters which reads KEEP AWAY probably wise given the young girls scowl.
