The front page of today's Glasgow Evening Times is an abomination!!
[http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/cgi-bin/page?id=5007811&t=newspapers.news]
From now on, our children will sit in their classrooms and learn all about the "Glasgow Clearances", it seems! Mr Leask has surpassed himself. The academics and politicians who endorse this rubbish are beyond belief!!
It also appears that Glasgow City Council is to offer taxpayers money as a bribe to lure the low-cost airlines to GLA.
[http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/cgi-bin/page?t=newspapers.news&id=5007838]
No mention of whether EDI is in the running. If BAA are on the case, one suspects EDI don't stand a chance of securing either MyTravelLite or bmibaby. If they actually succeed in bringing both to GLA, serious questions will no doubt be asked!!
I'm sure the citizens of Glasgow will be delighted that their taxes are being directed towards an inter-city point-scoring exercise!
One has to wonder how many Glaswegians will actually be able to take advantage of any new routes that emerge from this. I'm sure they would rather the money was spent on schools, housing, roads etc.
