Putting Glasgow First

The other morning my letterbox rattled and down fell a letter from the ‘local’ labour candidate asking my views on what affects me and my family, ‘ my priorities’.

The header on the returnable leaflet espoused the moniker, ‘Putting Glasgow First’, now some may snigger and call me a cynic, my views on labour’s mis-rule of the Glasgow economic area, are well kent, in fact I’ll tell anyone who cares to listen what I think of ‘labour’ failures and what should be done to those that have oversaw the demise of this once great city.

But to begin, first question was on Dog ‘mess’, well for those that are not regular users of Glasgow’s pavements, this is a big issue, where I live, dog shit appears about every 10 yards, and when you try to avoid it, you inevitably end up in a pothole or tramping through broken glass. What can labour do, well they can send all those labour lords and knights out with a pair of marigolds, and start picking up the shit, That’ll certainly keep them out of trouble for a while.

Next up was unemployment, well thanks to labour incompetence a whole generation of Scot’s are facing uncertainty and a drop in the earning capacity, some of those facing this prospect for the 2^nd time, anyone remember the 80’s.

The best question came at the end, ‘have you suffered from anti-social behaviour or noisy neighbours’, well yes. I have been for years affected by a gang of political neds, who have constantly stolen, lied and even committed murder, yet have never been brought to trial, their mates continually apologise for their actions, yet fail to deal with them in a satisfactory manner. Handing them over to the police would certainly be a start.

Sometimes ‘sorry’ just doesn’t go far enough, in this case it certainly is unacceptable, the Labour party have lied, stolen and caused the death of countless thousands, yet seem to think just saying sorry is enough.

Well it’s not enough, if Scottish labour is to stand for anything, it should not be for the privileged including those MP’s and members of the party who have been drunk on power in Glasgow for far too long, but for the poor and the weak.

Those who’s educational opportunities are blunted by the failure of an education system, that has been wrecked by political interference and incompetence. Employment prospects within this once great city dimishied to that of either call centre or social worker, and nothing in-between. But who cares, certainly not labour, they are the midwives of this legacy, their social engineering strategy is more akin to the 3rd Reich, than a forward thinking working class movement.

Has Glasgow a future, well that depends on the people, they hold the power. Will they stand aside and let labour sacrifice another generation for the cause of political dogma, like they did in the 80’s.

Or will they kick out this cancer of the working class, and emancipate themselves fully and choose a future that they’re in control of, rather than being led by a failed political party, who can’t even say ‘sorry’ properly.
