Indygal Goes to Holyrood! This is the 4th Indygal blog, each follows a different chapter in my life.

THE GIANT STEP FORWARD. My blog describing the ramblings of a Partick Thistle supporting, SNP and Trade Union Activist. This weekends newspapers would make one weep as story after story is all about the cuts to the Public Sector, as the CON-DEM Westminster Government continue their Butcher Knife assault for purely political philosophical reasons. The only one of two countries in the g20 not to try and grow their way out of recession, the future is bleak. It doesn’t have to be this way. Has seen in over 3...

Brilliant news just out from the High Court in London. The wonderful organisation Medical Justice. I'm wondering what the thinking is (sorry WAS!

Well, I suppose I might have mentioned her and her brother Daniel. Anyway I do recall writing about how she more or less had to. Take responsibility for her own education and how I thought it would pay off. Here's an extract from another blog piece.
