There's #NoWrongPath to success. After young Fifers received their exam results this morning, we're proud to be sharing stories of people who took different routes to where they are today. Whatever your results, remember… they are just one step on your journey. #NoWrongPath

Another disastrous planning decision by Glasgow Council. Yet more destruction. Decades and decades of civic vandalism. This the latest sorry chapter.
So it was confirmed in a planning committee this morning that the Hillhead Baptist Church, designed by architect Thomas Lennox Watson in 1883, is to be demolished. Tied at 3 votes for and 3 against, the Chair cast the deciding vote in favour of the applicant, Wemyss Properties.

Dear housebuilders, why not throw a couple of 1 & 2 bed bungalows into the mix of the mahoosive estates you're building, y'know, for older folk, single folk, folk who don't have/want kids. Try building communities instead of battery farms for breeders.

Well done @MairiMcAllan despite the serial interruptions from the host with form & the misogynistic Unionist branch office managers, you were head & shoulders the most articulate & credible on the panel 👏👏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The UK government continues to block the Scottish Government from taking any action at all on independence. If you believe it is up to Scotland to decide, please RT and show your support. #Scotlandsrighttodecide

SNP getting the blame for Alexander Dennis shutting down it's plant in Falkirk. Of course the britnat media never mention that McGills the bus company owned by one of Scottish Labour's biggest donors stopped ordering from them due to poor build quality & after sales service!

Replying to @BBCScotlandNews
One of the most dishonest and sad days for BBC news in Scotland. Forced late in the day to cover a story they had tried their hardest to suppress. Then publish the bare minimum with details missing

As a support, maybe it’s time to collectively agree to try something For 6 months, we sit back and we let the club get on with things - we get off the manager’s back - we let the new signings properly bed in and settle to life at Rangers - we let the hierarchy actually implement changes, before we go getting the pitchforks out and accusing them of money laundering because they’re putting proper money down on huge potential - we give it 6 months, we see where we are in 6 months, we don’t boo, we don’t verbally abuse players & staff in general Or, you can keep choosing the easy option, the “booo, this is shite” option, the not offering alternative solutions, the slating and writing off every single thing the club does after 5 minutes Please can we try this?

During a visit yesterday, we were shocked to see tour coaches parked on double yellow lines around this world-renowned Georgian square—some engines left running, spewing fumes. Charlotte Square is a jewel of the Scottish Enlightenment. It deserves better. Why no enforcement?

BREAKING: Israel has just killed Dr. Marwan Sultan in Gaza. They dropped a bomb on his home, murdering him, his wife, and their children. He wasn’t a combatant. He was a doctor who devoted his life to saving others.
