Wow, just WOW!

💐🍾💕 to Joan and all the other women that have spent so much time and been so brave to ensure that women’s hard fought rights are protected.

Thank you all, and fingers crossed this sets a precedent for rest of the UK.

But Glasgow Life asks on their registration for the summer reading challenge 'how do you describe yourself? ' (Answers are boy, girl, prefer not to say and other) Is this not a form of self ID, aimed at 5-12 olds? Pretty sure my children would describe themselves as 'avid reader' or 'big now' or ' chaser of ladybirds'

Nice one Joan McAlpine indeed!

A very interesting report, particularly with the funding comments left hanging at the end...
