If we canât get this road right, Glasgow really is screwed (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The stones and the streets, they mean something. At the bottom of the hill was the Grassroots cafe, where I ate many plates of chips, and along the road was The Arlington, where I drank many pints of beer, and at the top of the hill were the offices of The Daily Express, where I wrote many headlines warning about something or other. Iâve been fed there, and Iâve been drunk there, and Iâve even done some work there. Itâs one of my favourite parts of Glasgow. But itâs fragile, and wounde

We now know, definitively, thanks to Collette Stevenson, SNP MSP for East Kilbride, that Transport Scotland is not a registered charity so thanks once again to Ms Stevenson for clearing that up. But in a similar vein, itâs worth asking what a Scottish council actually is, or should be, because itâs become far from clear. Is it, like Transport Scotland, a government agency, a way to deliver the government agenda with government money? Or is it more independent than that: a separate form of go
An encounter with Glasgowâs new leader â and some ideas to get him started (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Itâs hard to believe really that Ricky Bell, the new boss of Glasgow Council, is only the second leader of the city to be appointed from the Scottish National Party because it feels like theyâve been in charge far longer than that, doesnât it: years and years, ages and ages, aeons, since before time, like Manwe, or Jadis, or Leto Atreides the Second or something. Whatever: an awfully long time. But we should give the guy a chance, so let me tell you about an encounter I had with him and wh
Oh dear, what’s going to happen to The Proclaimers now they have the wrong opinions? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You’ve got to feel sorry for these people really, the poor dears. First, they had to pack away all their Father Ted DVDs, never again to hear the words “I hear you’re a racist now, Father”. Then they had to put away their Harry Potter movies and Dumbledore wands and Hogwarts Lego, never again to hear the word “expelliarmus”. And now – oh, deepest cut – they must remove/hide/destroy every CD or LP or download they have ever had of The Proclaimers and solemnly vow to never again, on a night-out wh
A Scottish hospital. A dying man. A fascist doctor. Will we listen to the warnings? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We know how the story starts: on a bright cold day in April as the clocks are striking 13. We know how the story ends: in the basement of the ministry of love with a cage full of starving rats. And we probably feel like we know what the story means, what it’s saying, what it’s warning us about. Yet here we are, the story is happening again, and in a different way: in a hospital in Scotland, with a dying man, and a fascist doctor. It is unexpected. I wonder, as it gets going, this brand new versi
