Would you not consider more bilingual signage to welcome visitors and locals alike? Inverness / Inbhir Nis
So sorry to hear this news.
Steve Harrison (and Annie Dearman) were stalwarts of our 3rd Thursday sessions. A wonderful musician, singer, historian and friend who’ll be very much missed.
Our love and thoughts are with Annie and family x

Huge problems coming this week re: housing for asylum seekers in Glasgow - and with no warning for support services to prepare. Below a thread with links to orgs that will be picking up the pieces if you're able to offer practical or financial support. The need will be urgent.
“A private firm housing thousands of refugees in Glasgow says it will start evicting up to 300 people who have been told they cannot stay in Britain.” In Scotland policy for asylum seekers is “Integration from day 1.” This cuts right across it. Horrendous heraldscotland.com/news/1638…

I have to admire your brass neck, chaps. Since 2010:
1. You’ve culled 15k hospital beds
2. You’ve created worst 4 hour A&E waits since records began
3. You axed the nursing bursary
4. You “went nuclear” with junior drs
5. You mean we’re 40k nurses short
6. And 10k doctors

Since 2010 we've invested in our NHS meaning there are:
👩⚕️ 14,900 more doctors.
🏥 13,200 more nurses on our wards.
🔬 5,000 extra nurse training places available from September 2018.
🎓 A record number of undergraduates beginning medical training by 2020.
