After months of collective punishment and the death of over 40,000 in Gaza, any suggestion Palestinians should be removed from their home is unacceptable and dangerous.
There must be no ethnic cleansing.
Only a proper two state solution will bring lasting peace.

Some more images of the proposed changes to Glasgow’s long-forlorn inter-pontal riverside. Looks great!
The zigzagging riverbank of Carlton Place is a bit jarring but creates some welcome usable space there

The Darnley Sycamore. One of the most important trees in Scotland, linked directly to Mary Queen of Scots and Lord Darnley.
As the city celebrates its 850th anniversary, hopefully @glasgowcc can act quickly to save and care for this local historic totem. 🌳

Last weekend before Christmas and with so many brilliant independent shops throughout the Southside filled with great gifts ideas, there no better places to find that perfect gift. (plus support our local community too.)
Let's make a list of great places all weekend. #southside

Thanks! We were bowled over by what the pupils produced over just a few art classes, and the attendees and Community Panel were hugely impressed too. So much creativity inspired by our #Glasgow #ArtDeco landmarks & personality in their creations made w/ recycled materials ♻️🥰💚

Our choir went 'gigging' round some of our partners in Govanhill yesterday to entertain them. 6 languages amongst them and all singing in Scots. We think they did a braw job! #eallearners @GlasgowCREATE @GovanhillGo

From @Govanhill_mag : Tackling tenement retrofit challenges in Glasgow
Unlike many European countries, Scotland lacks mandatory owners’ associations, leaving tenants and flat owners to navigate the complexities of retrofitting on their own. With legislative changes years away, the question remains, how can communities take action now to green-proof their homes for the future?
