  1. I thought this was an interesting snapshot into the different types of reporting and stances by Scottish media

    Edit – just to note, while that Herald article pictured above appeared in the Google news overview (I’m assuming because it’s newer) they have done other more neutral pieces on drug consumption rooms

    Links to each article:

    Priorities are right there

  3. The usual suspects pushing the same bollocks agenda which has contributed to the current issues with addiction and the “war on drugs”.

  6. The third one is by Kevin McKenna who is a total fucken zoomer. Everything he says is best ignored.

  8. The Scotsman being on point there with the factual headline.
    “Shooting Gallery” and “Human Zoo” … Can only imagine the bellends who wrote that.
