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.
Very correct.

Video screenshot from Reddit. Building is now a shell with flames visible in every window.
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.
I hear the seagulls out there are ferocious.

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.

Bravo aux Ecossais pour ce beau rugby
Dommage que l'équipe de France ne se soit réveillée que lors des 15 dernières minutes!
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
