In a rare victory for common sense and for female campaigners the Court of Session has blocked the SNP government's attempts to have transgender "women" defined as women when it comes to appointing people to public boards.
The Court has ruled that the SNP has the power to put through a law to increase the number of women and transgender people on public boards under equality laws, but that they do not have the power to expand the definition of women to include transgenders.
Transgender "women" are simply not women and should not be defined as such. They are biologically male and have never been through the experiences of growing up as a young female, something that shapes a women's identity. We need to stop pandering to these minority groups.

Council cleansing workers, who not that long ago were being applauded for their hard work on the front lines during COVID, are facing the prospect of going on universal credit or taking on second jobs to make ends meet during the current cost of living crisis.
Though they did receive a recent pay rise it is far below the recent rise in inflation. The workers do a difficult job in Glasgow dealing with rats and the terrible mess that has been allowed to accumulate in the streets and backcourts of Glasgow due to the council's mismanagement of refuse services.
These workers are not alone in facing hard choices, with many other public and private sector workers facing the same financial difficulties.
We need to see a proper wage being paid to people across Scotland. A wage rate will give people dignity in work and not leave them in working poverty. None of Scotland's political parties seems to have any idea how to achieve this. Scotland needs a new approach to politics and to work.

Today the lads of Mid Scotland & Fife were once again out in force, cleaning the mess that the council refuse to deal with and delivering 800 leaflets in the Alva area.

On this day in 1472 Orkney and Shetland became formally part of Scotland when an Act of Parliament was passed.
Orkney and Shetland had from the 10th century been annexed by the Kingdom of Norway, which later entered a personal union with the Kingdom of Denmark. In 1468, Orkney was pledged by the Norwegian king Christian I as security against the payment of the dowry of his daughter Margaret, betrothed to James III of Scotland. The following year he pawned Shetland to the Scottish Crown which has since refused to accept repayment and return it. After the Acts of Union of 1707 Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles, along with the rest of Scotland, became part of the Kingdom of Great Britain.

More Scots are now homeless due to the restrictions and lockdowns imposed on us by the Scottish government.
Homeless people are 'struggling to live with life' says a homeless charity. Universal Credit cuts and the increase in heating bills has forced many Scots onto the streets.
How can this government claim to speak for Scotland when they put migrants from Africa and the Middle East over their own, native people?
We need a Patriotic Alternative.

Concerns have been raised over maintenance standards at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh.
NHS Lothian have identified the 'risk that facilities in the RIE are not fit for purpose'. NHS Lothian are also in formal dispute proceedings against Consort Healthcare, the private owners of the RIE.
It is awful that something as clear as repairing a hospital and improving the level of care should need to be disputed. The Scottish people deserve better and our most vulnerable deserve acceptable care.

On this in 1371 King David II died at Edinburgh Castle .
David became King Upon the death of his father, Robert the Bruce, David succeeded to throne at the age of five, and was crowned at Scone in November 1331, becoming the first Scottish monarch to be anointed at their coronation. During his childhood Scotland was governed by a series of guardians, and Edward III of England sought to take advantage of David's minority by supporting an invasion of Scotland by Edward Balliol, beginning the Second War of Scottish Independence. Following the English victory at the Battle of Halidon Hill in 1333, David, his queen and the rump of his government were evacuated to France, where he remained in exile until1341.
David II died unexpectedly of natural causes, and at the height of his power. He was buried in Holyrood Abbey. He left no children and was succeeded by his nephew, Robert II, the son of David's half-sister Marjorie Bruce David II was the last male of the House of Bruce.This started the Stewart dynasty.
