iPhone : Sad to see scenes of clashes between some protesters and police in Delhi #FarmersProtest.
Notable though the huge #TractorParade today and ongoing months long struggle (largest protest currently in the world) have been peaceful and inspired so many struggling for an existence.
iPhone : Having first slashed their budgets, Government promised it’ll “do whatever is necessary to support councils”, now dishonestly forcing them to increase council tax.
Unfair, unethical and economically illiterate to continue austerity and increase taxes in the midst of a pandemic.

Sadly he didnt take up the offer & wouldnt commit to outlawing the immoral practice of fire & rehire.
iPhone : Cheers to Burns, to our key workers, to our NHS and to Scotland.
