I'm sure she is very proud of her constituency and regards it as a model for the whole of Scotland run by the best government most suited by their needs.
She probably does

Sorry I missed the f, Butterfly_Reb.
The first tweet has since been deleted, for obvious reasons.0 -
As for Govanhill, I do hate how it is used by people who have never even been there for political purposes. There are multiple complex issues and the housing association, council and Scottish government are working together on solutions. The buy and repair project has done a lot, the cleansing department have made improvements and education is so important too. Blaming GCC and or SNP depending on political outlook gets us nowhere and we have the added problem of right wing fanatics like the Holocaust denier who published the leaflets getting involved. No doubt thing should've been done in Govanhill years ago but simply blaming Sturgeon and implying that the whole of Glasgow Southside is a disaster is insulting and patronising to those of us who love living here.0

We've been hearing this one trick pony stuff for nigh on a decade now. If Sturgeon interfered with Labour run council responsibilities to their own residents that would be all over the papers as well.
Govanhill is Labour's responsibility re council services.
For the moment.It all seems so stupid it makes me want to give up.
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid ?0 -

Yes I saw the Evening Times reporting the 'hilarious flyers'.It all seems so stupid it makes me want to give up.

People do flock to the south side to live mollycat, where I live is lovely. My hope is that you learn how to spell independence in time for the second referendum0
