Bog oak! What a fascinating glimpse into the fenland past from 200 years ago

Palestinian statehood is not a bargaining chip.

It is not a threat.

It is an inalienable right of the Palestinian people.

We miss Robin Williams 💔

The Manshiya quarter of Jaffa was destroyed in a series of bombardments led by the Irgun during the 1948 Nakba in order to drive out its Palestinians inhabitants

Sometimes the historical dictionary offers solace through the existence of an obsolete word that is sorely needed now. One of them is ‘respair’, recorded just once, in the 15th century. It means fresh hope, and a recovery from despair.

Occupation soldiers on naval boats are attacking Palestinian fishermen off the coast of Gaza to prevent them from fishing,

Our understanding of the subtle topography of Fenland has been transformed by Lidar (molehills literally become mountains!). Lost rivers, islands, and monuments are now clear as day. Downside: Despite appearances, it only shows what reaches the surface - there's still plenty it doesn't show.

A first for Scotland! I love these degrees, and the graduates they have produced elsewhere in the UK. Very excited to be able to support this option for our students at UHI moving forward. If you're interested in hosting a placement student, get in touch!

Paid for impunity....we left the Labour Party because of the total dominance of Labour Friends of Israel
