For a second week running BBC Radio Scotland #SundayShow newspaper review avoids any discussion of the Sandie Peggie case despite the fact it is dominating the headlines. This can only be deliberate. Is it cowardice or diktat? Either way it’s certainly not public service broadcasting

"NHS Fife female consultants who backed Dr Beth Upton don't have to share changing room with him Dr Elspeth Pitt, an A&E consultant, confirmed that consultants backed Dr Beth Upton's use of female facilities, but don't have to share with him" scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/news/politics/…

The perfect photo doesn't exis... Oh wait. Thanks to University of Stirling for sharing this great photo by Alan Richardson, capturing a saltire in the sky above us. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 💙 #UofStirling #WallaceMonument

There is a fierce paywall around this story but it is worth reading if you can . Homelessness Minister makes four tenants homeless and raises rent when she re-lets is a tough story to overcome, though Ms Ali gamely tries to do so.

I once closed the bar I worked in because I was frightened by some embroidery.

Rob Edward The Ferret with the indispensable reporting on the UK nuclear nightmare. If we didn’t have investigative journalists with initiative the Scottish public would be completely in the dark about all of this.

David Clegg, then political editor of the Daily Record, said he is "not even sure who" leaked the news of allegations against Alex Salmond On claims from Nicola Sturgeon it was Salmond who leaked it, he tells the BBC: "“It has always struck me as not credible."

"Why does the plight of Afghan women not dominate the headlines in the same way Gaza does? We are witnessing in live time the systematic erasure of 21 million women and girls, their faces and bodies covered in black burqas, their voices muted, their very humanity destroyed."

This is terribly tragic news. Thinking of his family, friends and colleagues tonight in a conflict that has claimed the lives of so many journalists.

I’ve reported 18 wars over 35 years. I’ve been shot at, kidnapped, threatened, nearly raped. I’ve lost friends from Sarajevo to Syria. I thought I’d seen the worst of humanity. I was wrong. Nothing compares to Gaza — or the complicity letting it happen. #GazaGenocide #WarCrimes

BREAKING: in response to the assassination of Aljazeera's journalists, the world's journalists have today refused to report anything that Israel says. Amazing.

Deeply shocked by Israel’s deliberate killing of the Al Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif, his colleague Mohammed Qreiqeh and cameramen Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal and Moamen Aliwa. Israel has now killed at least 186 journalists in the war.

As a tribute to the six Al Jazeera journalists killed in Gaza, here's the poem I wrote a few months ago:

Retweeting our letter in daylight - which is what this needs lots of. Please share widely, on here, and other platforms. This has truly shocked us, in a sea of shocking behaviour by public institutions. We await her response.

This would be hilarious if it weren't so serious. The National Librarian clearly thinks it is okay to silence some women, those whose views don't chime with the narrative emanating from Bute House I presume.
