"Forty per cent of men under the age of twenty five in prison today were in care. For me they have already been failed by society." Prison reform campaigner, Matthew Torbitt, explains why early Government intervention could prevent imprisonment and save money. #Newsnight

A very chilly day in Glasgow. If you are struggling to stay warm, remember that Glasgow Libraries have the heating on and offer free hot drinks. No need for a library card to snuggle up on a seat.

If you're aged 30 or more, then 50% of all human fossil fuel emissions happened during your lifetime
Bar chart shows the % of global fossil fuel emissions occurring in a lifetime with bars of different length for ages from 5 to 100 years. More emissions happen over a longer lifetime. During the life of an 85 year old, 90% of all  emissions happened. For someone age of 30 the rate is already 50%

FST is pleased that the Scottish Government has committed to increase the culture budget by £34m next year, with almost £54m for Creative Scotland Multi-Year Funding. This is better than expected, and we hope it is a positive sign for the future of the sector.

“You can take a risk, push it a wee bit, and I like that. It’s always been a bit anarchic and I’m just keeping that tradition alive.” Johnny McKnight shared with Glasgow Times why Tron Panto is not like any other show at Christmas. www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/2472519...
