Yes, I believe so.

Londoners maybe don't understand how huge this is because they've got so many stations.

Glasgow has two and they're not set up to be easily interchangeable - Central goes everywhere south, Queen Street everywhere north.

This is not an attack on Gillick Competence, because Gillick only applies to u16s.

This undermines the statutory presumption of consent for 16/17yos.

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.

My god, a fortune to the first Paddywhack place that markets the (probably unappetising, but no shade to the man) Miggeldy.

There was no shortage of amazing dipping delights in Ireland. The English exported all our Peach Habanero and Maple Bourbon sauces and left us to starve.

I am informed that EQUITY WILL NOT ASSIST A VOLUNTEER is an anagram of STOAT INSULTS WOLVERINE EQUALITY .

Which is fair enough, really.

Age discrimination for services which I assume would include health services starts at age 18 - 16/17 yos are caught coming and going I'm afraid.

Just a note, because I'm a stickler for the old accuracy, Gillick Competence doesn't apply to 16 and 17 year olds. It's the Family Law (Reform) Act 1969. 16/17 year olds are presumed competent to consent to medical treatment.

Did you know that Kemi Badenoch is so obsessed with trans people you can literally see it coming off her?

Belle victoire #SCOvFRA #M6N

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for
