@ILikeDuggee @Jeggit Twitter has become a very toxic environment, have no doubt that a lot of profiles were merely there to stir it. Hopefully we can all self moderate a bit betterband scroll past the awkward situations rather the turn them into spats.

Let’s give our kids a great future let’s give Scotland the future it’s history commands .
