letter to the Times from a former Conservative MP

Alister Elliot (24) of the Highland Light Infantry was killed in Flanders today in 1918. Older brother William had been killed the year before. They are remembered in one of the UK's most remote & beautiful war memorials. Far from the nearest road at the head of Loch Glencoul

One of the stupidest things we do as a species is produce billions of plastic bottles to hold water, when it would make more sense to invest in systems which provide safe tap water. Even in the UK where tap water is clean, we sell bottled water. Ban it.

How about that, specs and drugs and sausage rolls.

Lovely to have a visit today from Thérèse Lebedis OBE (AHP consultant NHS Grampian & NACS advisor) and Katrina Brennan (Stroke Improvement Lead for Scottish Government). Discussing learning to be shared from the Tech Enriched Stroke Rehab project.

10 days to go, already in their heads.
