Fringe show at Dundee Burns club ... eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-not-so-s… @DundeeBurnsClub

Edinburgh Fringe comes to Dundee Burns Club on Sunday 17 August at 3pm - "The Not So Serious Burns Unit". Poems, songs and fun with Liza Mulholland and Hamish MacDonald @DundeeBurnsClub eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-not-so-s…

@CO2isPlantFood2 @mikedailly @Annemarieward Both private and council sectors have significantly improved. But there are still some properties in both sectors which are below acceptable standards. Glasgow City Council has very few houses, incidentally. The bulk was transferred to Glasgow Housing Association.

Roz Foyer isn’t leading a workers’ revolution she’s running a landlord syndicate with a socialist logo. Scotland’s class warriors are now landlord chic. Five homes and still claiming the moral high ground? Please.

@Martainn_84 Good luck Martainn!

@mdf200 @MarkProvanP We have demolished far too many multis. North Lanarkshire are still doing it. Good management, correct investment and sensible letting makes multis attractive

@MarkProvanP I disagree. I think it just needs to be properly managed/policed. Anti-social behavior only happens because of the lack of enforcement. You know something... even as homeless housing, it'd be good. But again, needs "properly" managed/policed.

When there's a social housing crisis, why would you knock them down, and not gut them, and renovate them instead? We've lost loads of multis over the years, I grew up in one, and they were great. Heating was an issue, but that could be fixed if they gutted it.

The first Taras Shevchenko/Robert Burns celebration at the Dundee Burns Club where we welcomed friends from HMS Unicorn/Ukrainians Together ... enjoyed piping in the pies

Trump's ambush on the leader of a country attacked by Russia is deeply worrying. So I signed this petition ... you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no-2…

🧵👇 💬 "This is a budget that invests in Dundee," says @theSNP Council leader @MarkFlynnSNP 🧹 Investing more in street cleaning 🏛️ Support for the city's heritage sites 🍲 Freezing the cost of school meals 🏰 Keeping Broughty Castle open 💷 Cost-of-living support for people

'An extraordinary glimpse into Scottish Traveller heritage.' 'Button Bog is a wonderful collection of stories, reminiscences, history & folklore....an important piece of Scottish cultural writing.' Check out Rob McInroy's review. @TravellersTimes @APPGGTR @GypsyTravellerM

5/5 An assortment of tales. 'An interesting assortment of tales & stories of Scotland its people & its culture sprinkled with poetry from various writers. The author Jess Smith brings her experience & knowledge of travelling culture to life in this her 7th book. Very enjoyable.

This Dundee version of Tam O Shanter is great, and the city looks very atmospheric in black and white youtu.be/AR85zH3srLg @DundeeBurnsClub

@DougSRobertson @LesleyRiddoch @Margaret_Curran Wendy, who would have cheerfully sold off housing association homes at huge discounts ... and had to be stopped! Good luck to Margaret, though.

@LesleyRiddoch @Margaret_Curran And there has been little coverage of her friend Wendy Alexander who is also popping up there after quickly exiting Dundee along with the Principal and Director of Finance. Dundee University is left with a considerable deficit.

Just noticed @Margaret_Curran is now The Baroness Curran taking her seat in the unelected, overstuffed House of Lords 10 days ago. Strangely there's no mention of that 'elevation' in her twitter feed. Is it such a bad look? Answer - though I've always liked Margaret - yes it is.
