Oh the irony!

An Up Helly-Aa squad in 1909. (Some) women would gain the vote in 10 years' time, but over 100 years later women still cannot take part in the squads themselves

Foul Play! Documentary (2019) https://t.co/YSe5xXFF5f via @YouTube Well worth watching!

Disappointed @ShetIslandsCll failed to support local lasses in @S4UHAE so Lerwick Uphellya lets girls & women take part. Saw fab film by Rosie Gibson about terrible conditions endured by Shetland women in knitwear industry. No more marginalisation. https://t.co/W4ksuC9svh

Tavish Scott has a long personal involvement in Lerwick UHA & well placed to help end discrimination of girls/women. Despite a disappointing meeting yesterday at his constituency surgery, we remain committed to working with him/others to encourage positive change. @tavishscott

@karlpjohnson @PromoteShetland Most women? When did they do a survey?

[Up Helly Aa for Aa @S4UHAE]

@karlpjohnson Of course, they may be having a tidy up and it will all appear again soon. :)

14 candidates r contesting hustings for EU elections at #SGPConf – most under 30 and half female. All passionate speakers. As one candidate pointed out, young Scots voted overwhelmingly to Remain yet mainstream parties unlikely to field candidates under the age of 40.

@SalMcW @shetlandtimes @MareeToddMSP @tavishscott @malcolm_bell @S4UHAE @Up_Helly_Aa @tavishscott doesn't think politicians should be involved in a question of equalities?

What the holy hell has happened to the liberal democrats?

Only in print or digital subscription for now. Ex committee member gives his view on the inclusion of women in UHA. L4uha believe there should be no exclusion in community events. @tavishscott @NLFerries @malcolm_bell
