That same mosque, on the night of the Clutha Vaults helicopter tragedy, opened its doors and gave shelter, food, water and medical attention to the survivors.
They're the real Glasgow, not this rabble of racist thugs.

Today is my cancerversary. I’ve been living with blood cancer so long that it is now legally allowed to drink! 18 years of feeling like 💩 still much better than the alternative so feeling grateful! #FuCancer

The World Health Organisation classifies firefighting as a carcinogenic occupation.
In Canada and Australia, if a firefighter gets cancer, they are compensated, leaving them to fight the cancer, not fight for their family's security.
It's time the UK caught up.
Happy birthday to my best pal…and the person who carries me every day!
@maxine_boyle ❤️❤️❤️

Firefighters are significantly more likely to develop and die from cancer than the average worker.
While the EU moves toward a blanket ban on all forever chemicals, PFAS is still present in UK firefighting equipment and PPE.

Today is #HPVAwarenessDay. HPV is common and often has no symptoms. It usually clears on its own, but some types can cause cancer. In Scotland, all S1 pupils get the HPV vaccine to help protect against HPV‑related cancers.
