This documentary www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... grim viewing - but also not the City Centre I know - while all of this does go on - the City has been busy with Tourists and we hosted the Commonwealth Games. The BBC now owes Glasgow a travelogue programme highlighting all that’s good.

We're told that Scotland is overrun with asylum seekers. But actually, fewer than 7,000 people are seeking asylum here. That’s only 0.12% of the total population. They wouldn’t even fill Falkirk football stadium. Get the facts here: ow.ly/uLW950YQZti

#artemis reminds me of 1969 Glasgow Fair Kingsley Hotel Arran watching a wee TV with older generations and cousins in evenings. As a 6.5 year old - staying up late , tasting lager/lime and playing the fruit machine - probably to get me to sit still. Think I got an Astronaut helmet that Christmas 😉
