RT @DavieDonaldson: …In my 8 years of activism, I have at times relied on my education and links to the third sector to be heard. This isn’t the way it should be. I applaud the work that has been done to empower our communities, but for too many the ‘decision making tables’ are still out of reach…

RT @DavieDonaldson: …to the professionals, I urge you to think about who you are engaging with, is it the same old faces? If so why? Think about creating an effective engagement strategy that works with grassroots communities directly and not reliant on intermediaries…

RT @DavieDonaldson: …this please reach out to your local peoples; search out material from the voices least heard; we do not have ‘Community Elders’ or ‘Community Leaders’, as such no one can talk for our communities on their own…

RT @DavieDonaldson: …too often I’ve seen ‘educated’ voices, often including my own, being valued above members of our communities who haven’t received formal education. This isn’t right. Human Rights, having your voice heard on matters affecting you should never rely on having formal education…

RT @DavieDonaldson: …It is often the non-Drs and PhDs of our communities who are the most marginalised and unheard. We need to see grassroots empowerment, it shouldn’t matter if you’ve been to university - everyone’s voice matters…

RT @DavieDonaldson: It’s worth remembering that only a small percentage of our communities have attended university, fewer still have earned PhD’s. Whilst I in no way want to belittle their achievements, I think it only right to call out the inequitable practice of only listening to them…

RT @DavieDonaldson: 🧵 Gypsy/Traveller voices heard and unheard (a thread). As commences, I want to encourage everyone to make the effort to speak to local Gypsy/Travellers in your area. I’m tired of watching the ‘Drs’ and ‘PhDs’ of the world control the narrative about our communities…

RT @NeilMackay: Britain - or rather England - has a strange sickness of the soul and the name for that illness is Nostalgia

Jubilee fever is a symptom of the UK’s relentless, obsessive fetishisation of Empire and a long dead past. It is a country at war with the future

@neiloport @SurreyStandards @BingoDemagogue @EstefanoWorth @2351onthelist You made a clear accusation, I’m happy for you to retract it if you wish.

Where did I say that I hated your country?
Show me the tweet.

@MaggieM48430304 @rogerlwhite @2351onthelist @Dogberr64603238 @EstefanoWorth @Peteonone @NaeFishin @BingoDemagogue That’s a loaded comment, you managed to blame everyone, north and south of the border in one tweet and laughed about it.

@SurreyStandards @BingoDemagogue @EstefanoWorth @2351onthelist We have many English, protestant and Jewish candidates in the SNP, all wanting an Independent Scotland.
Now what about this tweet of mine, have you found one yet?

@neiloport @SurreyStandards @BingoDemagogue @EstefanoWorth @2351onthelist Pick one tweet, just one tweet I wrote, it must be so easy for you to do…

@2351onthelist @Dogberr64603238 @rogerlwhite @BingoDemagogue @EstefanoWorth @Peteonone @NaeFishin Sure, and because England had no problem attracting the migrants England needed and welcomed, the UK government decided to stop migrants coming to the UK.
Remind me how this makes sense, for England, the UK or Scotland.

@SurreyStandards @BingoDemagogue @EstefanoWorth @2351onthelist Stop calling people names and pick one, one I wrote. It must be easy for you.

@2351onthelist @Dogberr64603238 @EstefanoWorth @Peteonone @NaeFishin @rogerlwhite @BingoDemagogue You are mistaken, read the article, it is from a senior Labour politician, you’re welcome.
