NOW that the Gorbals has been demolished, No Mean City clearly needs a successor, and Glasgow North East fits the bill just nicely. This place is poor; in your face, 40% below the poverty line, smack addicts congregating in the shopping centre, poor. Things have pretty much always been that way, of course. One hundred years ago, Springburn was the site of the largest workhouse in Scotland. A century...

He will take up the title of ‘Baron Martin of Springburn, of Port Dundas in the City of Glasgow’ after the honour was conferred by the Queen last week. Mr Martin was the first Speaker of [...]

With typical underhand subterfuge and cowardice, NuLiebore waits until Parliament is in recess before making Gorbals Mick a fucking peer. Even in these days of disgraced and down-graded so-called "lords" (such as Baroness Uddin, and Lord Truscott) this is a disgrace. This fat oily trough-pig should have his pension stripped off him, not given yet more access to the trough. Still, I doubt...

Hat tip to GOT who reported that. Gorbals was rewarded for swallowing over many years, vast amounts of semen from one James Gordon Brown unelected PM of the UK. For whoring his office, his principles, selling his arse and his morals, his person and all he values in the aim of making vast amounts of money. A man who has in the Biblical term rendered himself utterly unto Cesar. Although I also saw a...

Anyone remember this sleaze ridden cunt? Michael Martin the ex-Speaker of the House of Commons? Well, then I'm sure that you'll all be highly fucking delighted to see this announcement which has appeared in The London Gazette . . . . Yes, that's right. Mick Gorbal's reward for being a corrupt, cash trousering, unintelligible, Gordon Brown felching, fuckwad of a Speaker is to be given the title Baron...

If you happen to be in Scotland, you might want to try to get a ticket to see a play called The Last Witch, by playwright Rona Munro. It is being performed at The Citizens’ Theatre, Glasgow, on 14 August and 15 August and at the Royal Lyceum, Edinburgh, on 23-29 August. The play is based on historical accounts of Janet Horne , the last woman to be executed for witchcraft in Scotland. In the summer...

You certainly have to hand it to the owners of BrewDog for having a knack for simultaneously getting publicity for themselves and winding up the humourless killjoys of the anti-drink lobby. Their latest effort is Tokyo , an imperial stout weighing in at a mammoth 18.2% ABV, but at the same time priced at an eye-watering £9.99 for a 330ml bottle. Rather predictably, Jack Law of Alcohol Focus Scotland...

THIS week, a meeting will take place in Glasgow's Gorbals at which enraged residents will make their views known on a recently introduced needle exchange. For some unaccountable reason, the exchange has been sited in an area given international recognition for its regeneration.

In his first interview since being forced to resign as Speaker of the House of Commons, Michael Martin tells the Observer that he was the victim of snobs who focused on his humble background and insists he would have survived if he had fought for his job. Martin, a sheet-metal worker in Scotland before being elected as an MP, said working-class Glaswegians were "too good to wipe the boots"...
