| Comment | As another said there was a refuse worker strike. The city centre has suffered under various labour run councils. The whole city has desperately needed investment for a long long time. A few years ago the SNP took control and started to change things, but all we seem to get is granite and brushed steel pedestrian areas and glass & steel office buildings. The character of the city is being bulldozed and replaced with various shades of grey. Poverty is rife in Glasgow, thatcher ripped out the guts of the working class and left us with no big sustainable industries. We used to BUILD stuff, our shipbuilding was the best in the world, now the Clydeside is being cleaned up to be gentrified. So those people you refer to as junkies are what’s left of a working class town with no working class industries. That’s what happens when people have no hope. |
