Journalist recalls the heartbreak and heroism that defined Dunblane’s darkest day A look back at the unimaginable grief, bravery and determination witnessed in Dunblane, and how a devastated community fought to build hope from tragedy.

It’s 30 years ago today since 16 children and one of their teachers were murdered in Dunblane. I’ve never forgotten the look on people’s faces and the toys and flowers outside the primary school. But the community fought back. And it is still doing so! www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/past-time...

‘Sickening’ videos of damaged salmon at highland farm Campaigners complained to a government animal welfare watchdog, with videos of badly injured salmon at a fish farm. This prompted a review, but should more have been done?

“Welfare standards across the industry are far too poor, and the enforcement of regulations is nowhere near good enough”

Daily Mail headline: IRAN WAR: DAY FOUR U.S. lambasts 'hand-wringing, pearl-clutching' Starmer as Kemi says he's 'scared' of his own voters

The Sun: INACTION THIS DAY PM wont hit Iran back Rift grows with US Prez

Have we woken up in America? The deeply unpatriotic Daily Mail and Sun seem to now be supporting a menace of a foreign leader over our own govt and national security. They are really only loyal to their own vested interests. Which are a direct threat to our own. The routine betrayal is sickening.
