People on the Left often complain about the BBC being too right wing, while people on the Right accuse it of left wing bias. Now, to me that says it must be fairly balanced.

Has it fucked up a few times? Yes. What media outlet hasn't? Should it be destroyed because of this? I don't believe so.

And YES - I have a show on @BBCSounds so you can legitimately say I have a vested interest. But this isn't about me, and I genuinely think it would be a tragedy to lose the BBC.

I find this DELIGHTFUL to imagine as I scroll ✨️🌈✨️ https://t.co/gs3U7wmafz via @YouTube

The BBC doing an article on Windows 95.
I think someone needs to have a word with props who put a Mac Plus on the table. 😂

I’m glad they did though. I started teaching with those in my classroom. Nostalgic to see one again.

SQA have made a few changes to the AH Computing Science project in response to feedback from practitioners and the projects submitted last session. You can read the full article below:

@dunfermlinep I stopped buying bridies as got fed up with them being barely warm and undercooked.
Shame though. Stephens is an EEP institution.

@thebr00n We mark both and they get the better of the two marks. 👍

[Greg Reid @GregReidCS]

Good luck to every student sitting a Computing exam today in Scotland. 🤞

@Peaches14721 @JohnSwinney @YSINational We’d have to try it first to find that out. 🙄

@neuralamp4ever @ChrisMidgley20 @jonsopel Last week he played golf Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Last year I lost my Dad to cancer. In memory of Dad, myself and a group of friends are raising money by playing 72 holes of golf in a day.
If you would like to make a small donation to Prostate Cancer UK our just giving page is below. Thanks. ❤️

@Emma_Seith This week I heard of a school that took its printers off staff due to no money for printing costs.
I’d imagine printing is a fraction of the cost of taking all pupils on a week long residential.

@thebr00n Two very minor changes Stephen in the new instructions.
Candidates are advised to write in blue or black pen (helps legibility after scanning).
Evidence should be stapled in the top left corner.

[Greg Reid @GregReidCS]

This year's Nat 5 and Higher Assignments are being published today. They can be downloaded from the SQA Secure website.

[Greg Reid @GregReidCS]

@CompSciScot Any teacher can email me for advice and assistance regarding SQA assessments. 👍

[Greg Reid @GregReidCS]

With many schools having now started their Advanced Higher projects just a quick reminder that SQA published a template file for candidates to complete this session.

@MattersOfCS Good luck Peter.

[Seyed Mohammad Marandi @s_m_marandi]

Stunning.

The UK regime has barred Nelson Mandela's grandson, Mandla Mandela, a South African MP, from entering the UK to attend a Palestine solidarity meeting in Sheffield.

The West supported apartheid in South Africa, and today it still can't tolerate anti-apartheid voices.

[Greg Reid @GregReidCS]

@TsuiAllen Thanks for that. ❤️
Hope you enjoy my book. 👍😀

[Allen Tsui @TsuiAllen]

A little holiday reading for me. @GregReidCS has a wonderfully positive and uplifting tone to inspire all who have an interest in technology as I do to become better at programming as I need to...
