There’s plenty of issues in politics that leave everyone divided. It’s part of the appeal of the subject for me, and I find it interesting to hear everyone’s take on some of the big debates in our society.

This is an English translation of the original post “Latha Twitter na Gàidhlig Soirbheachail“ Yesterday saw the first ever Gaelic Day on the social network Twitter, where speakers of the language were encouraged to use the language whilst sending messages or tweets.
