Hello, its Tommy’s daughter here, i know he met a lot of people here that he was very fond of so I wanted to let you all know he peacefully passed away yesterday morning. Many thanks to everyone here who kept him going over the last few months.
Anita is 46 and has terminal bladder cancer.
She doesn't want to die in pain, and she doesn't want to be sedated.
All she wants is the choice of an assisted death if her suffering gets too much.
A New Year! I feel resolute. I hope to contribute to Scotland during 2019. Sometimes we can forget what we are trying to achieve - across all political parties. Who can disagree with an ambition for making Scotland a better place for those who live and give to us?
“If I lived here I'd vote for Scottish independence, on one condition - a separate currency. Salmond’s great error, which I fear Nicola Sturgeon will repeat, was to propose independence while keeping the pound. That's nonsense. You already print your own bank notes!” Varoufakis
"[An international outlook] - that’s why this place [Scotland] is so open, welcoming to refugees, to migrants, to foreigners like me. Whereas English nationalism is not." Varoufakis Oct 2018
