It's nice that the Scotish have provided their youngsters with a place to pursue their national pass time in peace.

Perhaps, and this is a long shot, perhaps, there should be a new thread 'World Wide Immigration' - since it is repeatedly looping around and taking up a lot of this thread space, I think if you get overly excited by it knock yourself out and have a discussion devoted to it?

 

(Perhaps I am as guilty as any, but reckon I have got that marked off my Daily Mail Rage Bingo card now)

As you'd epect the article is cleverly written while not innacurate, the suggestion in it are. For example "addicts can legally take drugs" there... but it is not illegal to take them anyway (a point of law, since to take them you also have to possess them which is illegal)... and of course going to the proposed centre the users will still be breaking the possession law. Which brigs me to the second point, "Pharmacists kitted in scrubs, face masks, and rubber gloves will prepare the pharmaceutical grade heroin and measure out dosages before it is taken"... but only to users who have been prescribed the drugs - such as heroin in the first place... all the others will have to source their own of course. I say users since you won't have to be an addict to use the facility when it opens. Similar facilities exist in Scotland for those prescribed drugs such as heroin can be taken, which is where the photos are from (I don't think these centres are limiting which drugs can be taken there, just providing the safer facilities). Of course "dirty backstreets" of Glasgow... suggest that Glasgow is a grubby town, which is isn't

 

Anyway, the article is talking about a place to be built near the city centre where drug users can go with their drugs, be given sterile equipment, and do their stuff a bit safer... (and of course, a bit further from me when I am walking about the city)

When was the last time you were in Glasgow?? 
It seems a few on here often admire the left wing snp way of doing things or decisions they take, normally from afar whilst not actually experiencing or living with the bloody mess the same decisions create.

Yeah, standard Daily Wail. Demonise the least fortunate, or victims in any situation, and stir up as much outrage and division as possible. It floats some people's boats apparently.

So a direct answer to a direct question: a 13 mile trot around Glasgow and the south side today. And you?

 

 

 

I wonder what results I would get if I typed into Google "streets of Glasgow now filthy" Only saying.....

During that 13 mile trot you to failed notice Glasgow is filthy and going downhill fast not helped by lunacy such as the ulez crap and left wing council mismanagement. 

The residents are up in arms about it as well you know , but yet another factually incorrect post by yourself. I didn’t need google being a regular visitor ( mainly for gigs)and having spent 5 month working at BAE systems Clydebank facility recently but the information is out there that proved you were wrong yet again. I tell you what next time I’m at Barrowlands or the Hydro I’ll catch up with you and you can prove me wrong 🤷‍♂️either that or you are happy to live in filth.

Now you know that numbers and analysis is hard to dispute. Rumours and stories are. 'My city is filthy' doesn't say whether it is dirtier than others, just the respondent has a lower threshold for muck than others. Google any city + "Rat problem" and guess what the results will be. 

 

Anyhow, not sure if a story from a year or so ago qualifies as 'making the news today' but here is a link with analysis based on numbers rather than hearsay. A much better way to look at the world. 

 

Of course, detracting from the 'making the news today' story into one where you can invoke your mock rage, rather than admitting some good stuff goes on in the world will only make your day an angry one.

I’m sure there is a term used when one individual spends a lot of time telling another they are angry or upset contrary to the actual facts of the situation. Looks like you are in denial in regards the facts or evidence to be seen in many areas of Glasgow. You’re not my chance an SNP supporter are you ?. “Empath” was the word I was after or possibly a few others.
