Posted on June 20, 2012 by

The current issue of Private Eye (which also features a fascinating full-page piece on Craig Whyte) relates news of another Labour dividend for the people of Glasgow – the decades-long neglect and imminent destruction of a much-loved green space. We’ve attached the story below for your convenience.

On the upside, though, we’re pretty sure we know where another large green space, which already comes with goalposts, is about to become available.

    What hateful (shunts – ed) the average Scottish council members and managers are. We need a good clean out from top to bottom.

    It’s not just Glasgow that has been run into the ground like this either. It makes my blood boil every time when I see them pissing all over the people they are meant to be servants to.
