Indy Scotland will have written constitiution! Woof! Will it have an amendment on dogs @AlexSalmond?http://www.snp.org/blog/post/2013/jan/salmond-scotland-have-written-constitution
It’s pretty cold out there. Has anyone got a @YesScotland scarf I can borrow. I’m not putting my Aberdeen one on after that score today!
Dennis told @bbcgms why better enforcement of blue badges is needed. You can respond to the consultation too, http://www.scottish.parliament.uk/S4_MembersBills/Consultation_Disabled_Persons_Parking_Badges.pdf
