‘Never seen this level of objection’: Scotland pushes back against datacentre boo

Lyndsey Peebles, 67, pleaded guilty to sending messages of a “grossly offensive, indecent, obscene or menacing character” between 29 September and 20 October last year.

Court papers said the messages concerned the victim’s gender and were sent to cause distress, with the charge aggravated by prejudice relating to transgender identity, as reported by The National.

This is great to read about, school bags with needed items to help P1 go easier for children has to help, and cost minimally. It may not solve everything, but little will - so let's give it a shot at least

A second Bernera community organisation is facing financial ruin due to the activities of Claire Kellerman, an American woman who has been involved in multiple altercations with businesses on Lewis, mainly over rights of access for her dog.

As previously revealed by the Gazette, Ms Kellerman’s action was originally directed against Bernera Community Development Trust, a small charity which has nothing to do with the community café which was at the centre of Ms Kellerman’s complaint about her dog not being admitted.

The Development Trust ran up legal costs of over £7000 before Kellerman’s agents admitted in court that the action was directed against the wrong organisation. At that point, it was amended in order to sue Bernera Community Association, which runs the café on a voluntary basis, for £10,000.

The Association, which provides many community services on Bernera, confirmed this week that it faces potential bankruptcy if legal costs continue to mount. Already, normal fund-raising efforts are being diverted into legal fees to contest Ms Kellerman’s action.

Fun little Sunday story, have a peaceful one all!

A stop for many on the A82, with a fine soup and good loos. Hopefully someone buys, or the staff form a co-op, would be a real loss

Hullo folks, how are we this week? Who's got summin to share?

Ham? Who needs ham? Must be an easier way to get some ham, but is there a more fun way?

I was talking with an Aiberdonian at the weekend. They are all for it up there. Edinburgh with a different opinion. London where it will matter however. A big test for Burnham this week

The Burryman is a very strange and fun tradition, great to see it thrive!

Day late, oops! Will debug this week (maybe). Been out at shows and shit heavy this week myself. Who has something to rant, share, or gush about? We want it all!

This isn't a tough choice. A very modest amount of global oil will do next to nothing for our economy. Even in Aberdeen, one field will do very little. Not drilling is easy, listen to your people Andy!
