Britain's democracy is in crisis. Our First Past the Post voting system increasingly delivers results that have little to do with what the country wants.

This #DemocracyDay, I'm calling for a fair system where every vote counts.

It's time for Proportional Representation. #PRnow

These places are far, far away from Glasgow Botanic Gardens. Someone is having a laugh. #FingerpostFriday

Thoroughly enjoyed Story Cafe @womenslibrary.bsky.social yesterday where Donna Moore aka @badsvillebroad.bsky.social launched her latest book with matching cake and a superb 1920s outfit!

Moving service this morning @maryhillburghhalls.bsky.social to rededicate a WW1 war memorial from the long demolished St George’s Church which is now to be housed in the Halls. Well done to all involved.

For this #InternationalWomensDay edition of #PostboxSaturday please enjoy an Edwardian box in Kirklee, Glasgow. Jessie Stephen, Suffragette, worked as a servant nearby and it’s almost certainly a box she attacked with acid as depicted on the Great Tapestry of Scotland.

Happy 250th #PostboxSaturday! I’m an intermittent contributor and don’t have anything new this week so I’m reposting my greatest hit from the other place. Ok, only hit. It’s the VR box in Professors’ Square at Glasgow University.
