I'm back, and cooking on blue Calor...Another Tinker Experiment victim passed today. Apparently, there are no plans for any redress from the Scottish Government et al. Looks like another campaign will be necessary - post-apology...

The council are literally keeping elderly and disabled people prisoners in their own homes. No deliveroo operative will climb 10 flights of stairs. Thank the heavens for my friend @JimSlaven and the vibrant community in Dumbiedykes. Council - do your job and serve your people.

We are very sad to hear the news about the passing of the brilliant @ChristinaSNP.
Christina was a mighty woman, a big supporter of our work, and a true champion for human rights in Scotland.
Our deepest sympathies for her partner and dear family at this sad time.

Sitting now with @stardate2371 @GDA__online working on urgent funding priorities to secure future of GDA. We'd much rather be at the rally defending #DisabilityBenefits under attack by @UKGov Sending #Solidaity #Love #NoToCuts #CutsKill #GDAVoices #DPOs
20 Mar 2025
Demonstration this evening against @UKLabour proposed cuts to disability benefits. This is not a GDA organised event, but we will be there! Join us in solidarity if you can.
ALT Graphic advertising a demonstration against cuts to disability benefits. It reads "tax the rich don't punish the poor - hands of disability benefits". There is a drawing of an arrow pointing downwards. The details of the demonstration are given for Thursday 20th March at 5.30pm at the steps at the top of Buchanan Street at the Concert Hall.
