Interesting debate on #FreedomOfSpeech so thought I would share this film by @jeremydeller youtube.com/watch?v=Jqc_1N… Brilliant from begining to end💪🕺but particularly love the class reaction to New Age travellers 42min onwards..

It's sad that #Glasgow, #Scotland, a fairly progressive place is subjected to these attention-seeking preachers every summer, in the city centre, at Pride marches and outside Sexual Health Clinics. It's embarrassing. It's a public nuisance. Sort it out @NicolaSturgeon @GlasgowCC

A plaque was installed today by @HistEnvScot to remember #AndrewKeir, Actor on stage, screen and film. Andrew started his acting career while living on Greenhead St in #Bridgeton A little local fact that was almost forgotten but now successfully saved ❤️

@janebriggs77 @PaulJSweeney @WeAreSanctuary @LostGlasgow @PastGlasgow @GC_Archives @GlasgowCoA @patersonHT @newglasgowsoc @BattlefieldRest @MoFloCoCo @Chris_Carus Ironically and frustratingly @janebriggs77 I raised the same point in my presentation to the Scottish Parliament Cross Party Group for Architecture and the Built Environment back in 2006 - 16 years ago - it’s all there in these slides…🙄😢🤦‍♂️!

Given recent events affecting #Glasgow’s architectural heritage, here’s an excerpt from a presentation I gave to the Scottish Parliament Cross Party Group for Architecture and the Built Environment in 2006 on ‘Why Renovation is a SMART Strategy’. Still fighting these battles🤔🤷‍♂️!

This morning, @WeAreSanctuary brutally tore down these beautiful 133 year-old sandstone cupolas on James Sellars' original 1888 ward pavilion at the Victoria Infirmary. A flagrant and unnecessary act of architectural vandalism. As if they haven't debased their reputation enough.

I'm looking for a manufacturer in the UK who can print a custom design on to really lovely soft cotton for furoshiki. Do any twitter friends have any leads? 🙏🙇‍♀️🏯

@PaulJSweeney @scotgov SIMD map is always interesting to layer over infrastructure investment plans. I guess my key point is that Glasgow has so many hurdles ahead of these massive infrastructure ideas. I feel money could impact people's lives much more quickly/directly with much simpler changes.

@janebriggs77 @scotgov Another major physical intervention with the motorway should be to address the blight caused by the over-engineered Townhead interchange and Springburn Expressway that severs Royston and Springburn from the city centre and Dennistoun.

We could do this at Woodside and Charing Cross, instead of spending hundreds of millions of pounds rebuilding a vile concrete monstrosity that creates dangerous noise and air pollution, sterilising the surrounding districts. But this would require @scotgov vision and leadership.

What is “unviable” for our planet is the continual demolition of existing buildings for the short term benefit of the shareholders of volume house builders. #retrofirst ♻️
Paul Sweeney MSP@PaulJSweeney

A depressing decision by Glasgow City Council Planning Committee. This 1934 building at the former Jordanhill College adds to the rich heritage of the community. The demolition justification by @CALAHOMES is flimsy and embellished, as @theAHSS pointed out. glasgowlive.co.uk/news/glasgow-n…

The perfectly topiary of this mature copper beech tree in Glasgow has both delighted and baffled me for years. How are they doing that? A cherry picker crane? A thirty foot high gardner? I mean… how!?
