4 July was Doddie’s Birthday & we're encouraging everyone to wear a little (or a lot) of tartan on the day to raise awareness of MND 🔵🟡
We hope this is a fitting way to pay tribute to the big man & urge everyone to get involved to turn 4 July tartan for MND for years to come🤝

Not-very-responsible reporting from @BBCNews. Established secure people on full-time contracts (such as myself) get these kinds of salaries. The big issue is that the system relies on a lot of folk living hand-to-mouth on fractional bits and pieces...
