    Ahhh ye old ghetto conditions that Sturgeon constituents are living in

    You seem to be missing the point though, if her constituents think she is a waste of space why should the rest of us disagree.

    SNP = Busted Flush, had their bluff called and nowhere to hide!

    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 :)

    That must have been bad - cant actually find the account.

    Probably rather grateful for that.

    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.

    Point still stands though. Spending all your time on a personal crusade at the expense of everyday matters is akin to throwing a boomerang. It's going to come back and hit you at some point. Increasingly looking like a one trick pony. While the rest of the UK moves forward.

    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 ?

    Yes I saw the Evening Times reporting the 'hilarious flyers'.

    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 referendum :)
