Meet me on the corner when the lights are coming on
And I'll be there, I promise I'll be there
Down the empty streets we'll disappear until the dawn
If you have dreams enough to share...

Thirty years ago, 16 children and their teacher were killed at Dunblane Primary School and 15 more children were injured.
Scotland will never forget the suffering and the unimaginable loss the families have endured. We will always hold them all in our hearts.
Imagine living in a country where this happens so often you become desensitised to it? I'm so grateful they had the courage to persist.
Yes, I did. They were all so impressive and doggedly determined to get that result. I live in the community and people are very humble about what they achieved.

30 years since the school shooting in Dunblane. So proud of everyone who fought tirelessly for the ban on hand guns in the UK. I cannot fathom living in a country where this happens frequently.

The BBC means βsulphurβ which is vital for loads of stuff beyond βglobal techβ - not least fertiliser without which millions and millions of us would starve to death. But they think weβre stupid so βniche yellow powderβ it isβ¦
As the Herald maligns its home city, here are TWELVE reasons why Glasgow is really getting better and is already better than most English cities but itβs being hidden from you by Labour-supporting media talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2026/03/10/a...
No principles, no morality, no information, no expertise, just endlessly appeasing Trump, Putin, Netanyahu and assorted billionaires and foreign oligarchs or chasing the next headline, until suddenly colliding with reality. Bang, oof.

The finest take down of the institution of monarchy and "class" and the grasping, greedy, venal, entitled, and very stupid people it enables that you will read today or any day.

Two firefighters resting, sitting on the plinth of the "Citizen Firefighter" statue.
Quite an image on the BBC live page (www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cd...; no photographer credited).
Sounds as if they've saved the station and the hotel, and more importantly, without loss of life.
Citizens; heroes.
Scotland has the lowest child poverty rate in the UK, and 90,000 fewer children live in poverty thanks to our policies.
But decisions at Westminster have too often held us back.
I want to fully eradicate child poverty, and Scotland should have the full powers to do it.

The roof has collapsed embers rise into the night sky.
The fire at Glasgow central station is utterly devastating. Shops, homes and our transport link to England are being wiped out.
I am amazed by the limited news coverage.
A huge fire is currently blazing in Glasgow city centre
Emergency services have been tackling the blaze on Union Street since around 4pm on Sunday

NEW: Scottish Labour have been urged to come clean on 'creeping' and 'secret' plans to privatise Scotland's NHS following an intervention from a think tank founded by Tony Blair

A reminder. Israel currently stands accused of a genocide in Gaza, an illegal war in Iran, mass displacement in Lebanon and attacking Syrian sovereignty. Is this designed to be the new norm? Shifting focus away from Gaza into more widespread chaos and instability?

One of the most powerful things I've read in years, and a real dropping of the scales moment for something vile that has been insidiously poisoning everything for decades

More than half of Reform UK members believe non-white British citizens born abroad should be deported or encouraged to leave.
No different to the old BNP or National Front voters.

CAMHS are only taking referrals for emergency mental health at the moment. We are a long way from having anything to celebrate I'm afraid.
This has been on the front page of the BBC Scotland website all morning. It talks about βeight years after the referendumβ. The latter was in 2014. A child could do the arithmetic better!
An incredible retraction by the Daily Telegraph today. They have apologised for publishing an article last year headlined: βWe earn Β£345k, but soaring private school fees mean we canβt afford to go on five holidays.β The entire story was fabricated; the family did not exist.
I guess this is where the reintroduction of curable diseases comes into its own .
π¨ It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.
This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.
Please spread the word.

At least we now know the one issue on which Keir Starmer will never u-turn: Scottish independence. Heβll twist and turn on any other matter - even war - but heβs an implacable mountain of certainty when it comes to democracy, or the denial of it, in Scotland
