Could she do both? Find an employer who'd invest in her education, resulting in a trainee with a broader skills base and a personal investment in the business?

I find this often happens in Moray. I say "excuse me" in shops two or three times before they react like scalded cats. I don't know if it's a processing issue or insularity.

No, a woman. I had never met Tory teachers 'til I came here. Some take summer jobs at Gordonstoun; it's a very different ethos to the Central Belt.

I once saw a future SMT member in a Moray school telling children Thatcher was a role model for women.

Thatcher left a society with communities smashed, manufacturing industry wrecked, utilities flogged off and turned into profit centres for their (often o/seas) new owners. Worst of all was the mantra that greed is good, & that concern for others is weakness www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Robert Jenrick, the Conservatives' Farage; a racist who ordered cartoon murals to be painted over at a children’s asylum centre - because they looked ‘too welcoming’ & helped a billionaire donor avoid paying £40m in property tax. Indecent, racist, corrupt - definitely a potential Tory leader.

You can lock up as many people as you want for chanting or protesting against genocide.

You will never scrub away the truth about that genocide - or your own complicity in it.

You are just ensuring that you will be damned all the more for what you have done.

Government could crack down on pro-Palestinian protest chants, PM says

The government needs to

If you think US MSM coverage is bad, imagine being forced to pay for Westminster propaganda in your own country.

The majority of Scottish people voted to remain in the EU, but were forced to leave because England has a larger population & more gullible voters.

The BBC in Scotland is getting increasingly bizarre.

38% in Scotland voted to leave the EU. This is what the public national broadcaster we're forced to pay for says about that, whilst confronting SNP MSP Rhona Mackay.

They are actively trying to get millions of Americans used to the idea that there are some people in this country who simply need to be controlled, criminalized, and eliminated for the nation to prosper.

It’s dangerous. It’s a familiar tune. It’s ultimately cannibalistic. But it’s what we’re facing

Homeless people are not the enemy.

They can’t “just try harder” their way into housing.

It’s the system that’s failing.

Most of us are one emergency away from being homeless ourselves.

We need affordable housing, universal basic income, healthcare & social supports.

We need a safety net

Anas Sarwar was confronted at a Labour event by a Labour party member who was *furious* at Labour's plans to open up the NHS to the private sector. Of course the BBC in Scotland refused to pick up this story.
