They might want to bother or there will be some exams getting impacted. Government is there to govern, they still have a leader as it stands.

This is so typical of BBC reporting and the difference between Scotland and England. There's no mention in the article about which party is in government Govt nor there any calls upon the Health minister to resign! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaid Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Just now, Squirrelhumper said: How does this compare to Scotlands? Ie no legal safeguarding built into the legislation? Maybe, maybe, the real issue here is the Equality Act and how that’s implemented and is nothing to do with how a GRC is issued. All these safeguarding issues either already happen or could happen right now. The only difference with making the process of a GRC easier is it only increases the number of people with GRCs. The Equality Act is either fit for purpose if it applies to 100 people or 10,000 or it’s not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember him for that more-so even than the Diehard movies as I think that was the show that launched him. Sad to hear this news. Loved moonlighting... Miss Depesto and Herbert Maddie and Dave.... Loved the music in it as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a victory for British government forces. Interestingly, one of the defeated Jacobite leaders that day was Donald Cameron of Lochiel. He was the 6x great grandfather of current Tory MSP, also Donald Cameron. Edited February 17, 2023 by aaid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand the defeated forces were also British! If the reporter had said British government then I won't have raised an eyebrow.

If the reporter had said British government then I won't have raised an eyebrow. I’m not saying that it’s not a poor choice of words, but describing it as an English victory would’ve been even worse. A lot of people - particularly Scots - don’t realise that the Jacobite Campaign was a civil war and that Charlie’s objective was the crown of the United Kingdom. I’m not aware of any of my ancestors being at Culloden but if they were, as lowland Covenanters, they wouldn’t have been on the losing side.
