@str0ngerthanall I was the CynicQueen & would have given a categoric no but 2 years ago, after 9 months of persuasion I agreed to go on a blind date. Yeah, that knocked all my bluster from the sails 😆 & I am happier than I have ever been. It’s a healthy positive relationship.
Disingenuous. This is an EU deal. It was negotiated by the European Commission with support from the UK government.
When we leave the EU, this deal becomes invalid - just like every other EU deal that the UK currently benefits from.
I'm lost for words. This is an insult of gigantic proportions.
For those that don't know, the Welsh Not was an item used in Welsh schools in the 18th & 19th centuries to stigmatise & punish children speaking Welsh.
Now they mock & rile us with the 'English Not'... 😡😠👎
Some are griping about the demo at BBC PQ on Sat (1.3pm), saying it's pointless, but it's one of the few peaceful ways we have of showing anger at this rotten, dysfunctional organisation.
We all have other things we'd *rather* be doing, but are any of them really more important?
And the number from the poorest background - SIMD20 - is up by even more.
A 5% rise overall (all ages) and a stonking 9% increase in 18 year olds!
#SQAresultsday
Please remind everyone you know who may be interested that the demo/gathering outside BBC Glasgow Pacific Quay is definitely *ON* this coming Saturday (11th) 1-3 p.m.
Cheers!

UK minister for immigration & PM both in Scotland & both refuse to speak with the media. Tactic straight out of Ruth Davidson’s book. Avoid public scrutiny.
What will the media do about it? Lap up a press release?
Perhaps doorstep them like they did with our FM..... no chance
@str0ngerthanall But how many times did you start to do it & something else took priority? I’d put a tenner on it that you haven’t just sat looking at it, thinking ‘that needs done’ & thumb twiddling
The woman with B Johnson in the photo is called Sarah Sands. She is editor of @BBCr4today
When she was editor of Evening Standard she fully supported the blatant Islamophobic Tory election campaign against Sadiq Khan

The BBC manages to doorstep the First Minister within a couple of hours of a spurious and bogus @scottishlabour claim, yet somehow #DarkMoneyDavidson remains "unavailable for comment." https://t.co/objJk5lZjd
Setting aside the questionable taste re able bodied #Conservative politicians sitting on disabled chairs holding party political propaganda; this lot support cuts to disabled allowances. Everything about this photo op screams exploitation.
This is actually pretty outrageous. If Magnus Linklater wants the SNP to solve the problems faced by EU nationals as a result of Brexit, I look forward to him getting full behind the campaign to devolve immigration powers to @ScotParl immediately.
