I just want to share something Tourette Scotland posted on their Facebook today and say a heartfelt thank you. In the past week alone they have received over £5,000 in donations. More than 200 people from over 100 different locations across the UK have contributed, alongside so many powerful messages of support for John. There have also been international donations from Germany, Croatia, Australia, the USA, Jersey and The Netherlands. The map they shared showing support coming in from right across the UK is incredibly moving. It means more than I can put into words, not just to our family personally, but to families all across Scotland living with Tourette’s. Thank you to every single person who has donated, shared, spoken up or reached out. It truly matters. If anyone would like to support the work Tourette Scotland does for families like ours, you can donate here: tourettescotland.enthuse.com/donate

The UK does not have a welfare problem. It's got a corrupt politician and corrupt political elite problem. It's got a billionaire problem. Tax the rich.
