2 firefighters take a short, and likely needed, rest below a statue tribute to firefighters past and present just outside Glasgow Central Station, near where a massive fire completely destroyed a whole building.

Our flat stinks of smoke this morning, and a Glasgow landmark has gone overnight.
Awful to see a piece of history destroyed but so glad no-one was hurt, and amazed by the firefighters who stopped the fire spreading further

Quite an image on the BBC live page (www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cd...; no photographer credited).

Sounds as if they've saved the station and the hotel, and more importantly, without loss of life.

Citizens; heroes.

Genuinely undecided about voting at 16.

Lots of good reasons to do it, lots of reasons not too.

I suppose my main concern is how this will lead to further restrictions on how teachers interact with students and what they are permitted to discuss.

All elections are TikTok elections now.
