I couldn’t hear most of the speakers but the First Minister’s message came through loud and clear:
We stand here in defiance of hate with a very clear message – love is love.
A true Scotsman?
Don’t read on unless you really want to know about my innards. This post is mostly so I can record what happened while I still remember it. Continue reading
