BLOG - Today I publish my annual Rural Land Market report examining land sales in 2024. For the first time, I reveal the prices paid for 21 properties which were concealed from public view. Do have a read - only 9 pages (the blog is worth your time too) andywightman.scot/2026/02/rura...
that made no sense
Ah. She has the wrong opinions, so is not entitled to be legally protected? I thought human rights were about universality and inalienability?
as Dorset the judge's! A certificate of correction has already been issued due to inaccuracies in thr judgment. She'll win on appeal.
Completely disagree. She has now
(rightly) gone to appeal which I expect she will win. The judge's ruling has already been amended through a certificate of correction.
They will surely be quaking in their boots. Such hubris.
Of course they could, but then it would no longer be a Women's Institute would it? And that would be kind of silly.
RIP Rachel Cooke, fellow Puffin Club member and evangelist of All the Devils Are Here, formidable critic and true believer in the power and importance of the good stuff, in whatever form it takes. I’m gutted we won’t get to talk about books again. My condolences to Rachel’s friends and family. x
Once more, with feeling. bsky.app/profile/iamm...

Listen to a Labour MP making an utter **** of himself on #WestminsterHour from 22.00. Not only trying to match Reform on asylum, but unable to even articulate what the #ECHR is! Quite extraordinary! Oppose them, don't imitate them! @markfergusonmp.bsky.social
Unedifying & depressing to hear Lab & Tory MPs MarkFergusonMP & @AlanMakMP @BBCWestminHour trying to out-match Reform on asylum. Ferguson unable to articulate #ECHR benefits nor what it is!!! No ref to Lab's key role in bringing it into law. Listen & weep at 22.10

You have a rather inflated sense of your own importance.....
You are surely not condoning the actions? It was sex by deception which affected the freedom and indeed capacity of the victim to choose whether or not to engage in sexual activity. Clearly the right decision here.
The album itself will be worth it. I loved her first album.
With 12 days to go, Isla needs £500 per day in kickstarter donations to ensure she raises the needed funds. Have a look at the rewards. This is not charity but advance support for an artistic project in return for meaningful rewards including the album itself www.kickstarter.com/projects/isl...
I just backed The Scottish Four Seasons - Isla Ratcliff's 2nd Album on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/isl...

Don't we all!
Yes, I have read it. Michael Foran does a good rebuttal of it too. Have you read that?
You are clearly not a lawyer. Have you actually read the judgment?
Society has gendered me and I reject that. I refuse to be defined by stereotypes.
I owe you a longer explanation & know you meant well. We're divided by our sex, not by 'gender'. 'Gender' is regressive - it refers to stereotypes which society has determined belongs to a woman or a man. Feminists have been fighting against this for decades. I'm not 'cis.' Nor do I have a gender.
which unfortunately is exactly what you were doing in your piece. I appreciate it is well meaning, but it is so regressive and - dare I say predictable. Really sorry.
Yes, it was pretty awful. Shoddily written, badly researched, inaccurate in places & displaying a poor understanding of the law.
