Serious bargain alert!

Thank you. Sx

Aberdeen you are glorious.

Morning Nelson. No ccne yet.

😂 Just wish the speeches had been snappier... the drums were so great! Anyway, Nelson's there now, that's the thing.

That rainstorm was crazy 😂😂

I like her most tho cos she was a good hater. She really disliked Tony Benn & George Galloway 😅. She used to joke that her memoirs would be called "Shits I Have Known" and once teased Roy Hattersley: "There are two chapters on you." Class.

Janey's home in Partick was crammed with books, political pamphlets (some dating from the 17th century) & records. She loved music & helped musicians like Archie & Ray Fisher, Euan MacColl, Martin Carthy, Jeannie Robertson, Jimmy McBeath & Woody Guthrie's sidekick Cisco Houston.

A huge anti-apartheid campaigner, she gifted toys fashioned by Mandela to Nuremberg's international toy museum. Mandela had created similar toys from scrap during his 27-year incarceration on Robben Island & he made these with Soweto pupils' help after his release. Aww. /2

The new statue of Nelson Mandela is going up today in Glasgow. I'm excited to see it. But let's also remember Mandela's great friend, Glasgow MEP Janey Buchan who campaigned for his release. Janey was a legend. She started out communist but switched to Labour in the 50s. /1

The kids using “Brexit” and “AI” as insults makes me think the kids are pretty great, actually
