Just seen Stand and Deliver, the story of the Lees Jeans sit in. Well worth going to see when it comes to the @thebeaconarts. Just amazing how many of the women I knew.
Pope Leo XIV on Palm Sunday, forcefully denounces those who use God to justify war: “Brothers and sisters, this is our God, Jesus, King of Peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war. He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them saying “Though you make many prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are full of blood.”

On holiday in Florence, the strangest thing so far was being Scottish in Italy watching the California Baptist University choir singing Loch Lomand in a beautiful Catholic Church. Well done @calbaptist
Always happy to wear the Poppy on Remembrance Sunday. It is hard for me to grasp that my granda, a proud Irishman, fought in the first world war for the Dublin Fusiliers.
The three people killed by Israeli military strikes on Holy Family Church in Gaza today are Saad Salameh, the 60-year-old parish janitor, Fumayya Ayyad, an 84-year-old woman, and Najwa Abu Daoud, a woman in her 70’s.
Attended the funeral of Robert 'Bobby' Thomson today. Bobby was one of the many unsung heroes that give their time doing voluntary work throughout inverclyde, his passion was Table tennis. I wonder how many young people he coached over his lifetime.
Today in Parliament I raised the latest warnings of ethnic cleansing and genocide of Gaza’s Palestinians, and called for fresh action to stop these atrocities now.
We're saddened to hear that former Provost David Roach has died.
He was provost from 1999-2003 and a councillor from 1980-2007.
Provost Drew McKenzie paid tribute to Mr Roach as a 'great ambassador for Inverclyde'.
Our condolences to Mr Roach's family

Gary Lineker on Gaza, "It's the worst thing I have seen in my lifetime. Constant images day in, day out of children losing their lives."
"But the minute you raise your voice against it you get accused of being a supporter of Hamas."
