The Peggie case - an unquestionably bigoted woman who didn't like a doctor who is trans in her workplace - is a prime example of the collapse into propaganda of journalism in the UK.
Please read and share.

Cloudy today, but what an astonishing (and a little worrying) week in Westray.

Munro-bagging from Glenshee ski centre yesterday. The ugly twins of Carn Aosda and The Cairnwell and the delightful Carn à Ghèoidh. Eight done 274 to go.

The point about messaging on this article is spot on. I’ve been screaming for years about it. We need to address the material concerns of the Scottish working class as a priority if we want to be taken seriously as a left wing alternative

Thin Lizzy with a 70 year-old grandmother on keyboards. SHE EVEN DOES A SOLO!!!

Aired (unfortunately) on 'Jim'll Fix It.' The story goes that Savile got upset with Phil Lynott because kept mocking his stupid voice all day... You were a good lad Philip.

Decent day doing the Glen Striddle Horseshoe walk. Ben Lomond, the Arrochar Alps and the Luss Hills all looking grand.
