Last chance to inspire me to run, walk and crawl 26 miles along the banks of Loch Ness (you can supply your own punchlines!) to raise funds for @glasgowsams.
Here's why I've been plodding round the South Side all purple-faced and gasping for air - I'm running the @nessmarathon on October 6 for @glasgowsams. If you can, please visit my JustGiving page and help this great cause. justgiving.com/fundraising/j…
Replying to @Govanfair
A huge thank you to the #GovanFair committee and the Govan Fair Queen for giving Harmony Row a certificate as a thank you for taking part in this year's parade. See you next year! Thank you to Aaron for representing the team. 👍🏼#WeAreHarmonyRow

Mainstreaming, normalising and legitimising racist language. Empowering and emboldening racists. Dangerous. How far we have fallen and so quickly.
So interesting to see “Progressive” Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly......
