TonMan Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Was a pretty poor debate overall. It was a bit silly having some of the leaders outline their plans for the country when we kind of already know they won't be getting a sniff of power. Nuttall looked hilariously out of his depth to the point where I suspect they'll be begging to Farage to make his fifth comeback in a couple of weeks.

D Angelo Barksdale Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Govanhill 5 years ago. Govanhill today. THE ESENNPEE AND WEE NIPPY HAVE PYOOR TURNT THIS PLAICE INTAE A SLUM !!!!!111 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Stubbs Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I doubt much more than a tiny percentage of the Unionists you see banging on about Govanhill these days have set foot in the place either (see also Glasgow and Scotland in a fair few cases). Wee Krankie's constituency not being very nice seems to have entered the Unionist opinion tombola recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 If the electorate of Glasgow Southside is as disgruntled with the performance of Nicola Sturgeon as their constituency MSP as the unionists on here claim, they could... vote her out. But she has a 10,000 majority and a 61.4% vote share (as of last year), so maybe she isn't doing as badly as the keyboard experts would like to believe. Time to accept the will of the people IMO.

Yes I would like to see the poverty, exploitation and poor living conditions improved as not nice for all concerned. If this was most other SNP elected members then I'd cut them some slack. It's more the fact Sturgeon is always promising the earth whilst ignoring this inconvenient truth closer to home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect Device Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I've had this argument before about Govanhill and apparently it was a lovely place before Sturgeon arrived with her open doors immigration policy (Which is the root of all it's problems ) I didn't believe the Rangers fan I was arguing with but I didn't have the knowledge to back up my argument. Was Govanhill a lovely place a few years back? Does anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaz Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Who is responsible for immigration policy within the UK? There are parts of England which Westminster are responsible for and are slums. By Britnat logic, on that basis the UK is incapable of being independent and should allow a larger more competent country to administer it's affairs.

paolo2143 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I was down south last few days and the usual bile and sneering arrogance from Tory Right wing press in full view down there, calling all the debaters last night an irrelevance. That is just so typical of the sneering right wing Tories trying to demean the First Minister of Scotland, mark my words they have no respect for Scottish parliament and if it was possible for them to get away with it they would scrap it and repeal devolution. Trust me if the Tories win this election with large majority and do reasonably well in Scotland we will soon be reminded of why they became so hated up here in first place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
