I ABSOLUTELY agree with reader CB, Shawlands who wrote in recently about the careless dangerous drivers who take risks driving straight through red lights. I've even seen lorries and buses doing this and sometimes I've counted up to five or six cars speeding through.
It seems everyone is in a hurry. Better to be a few minutes late than a month in the hospital. Maybe mandatory cameras at busy road junctions would solve the problem. Hitting them in the pocket would learn them a lesson.

REGARDS Victorian water network to transform Glasgow's water supply, Monday's Evening Times,
if they can dig a tunnel big enough for waste water, why is it so difficult to extend the subway? We're constantly told it's too difficult and expensive, even though the Victorians found it easy enough 120 years ago.

I SEE Govanhill residents given privacy reassurance over new CCTV.
How can anyone in the police, council snoop departments possibly give reassurance to the public when by the very nature of them CCTV cameras are there to spy on every person on the street going about their lawful business.
Are they not entitled to do so without some creep behind a consul zooming in on them whenever it takes his or her fancy.
CCTV cameras are a gross invasion of privacy and turn every law abiding citizen into a potential suspect so to those responsible please don't make claims reassuring the public there will be no intrusions into privacy. That is a myth.

FOLLOWING on from the talk of a second Scottish Independence referendum, we were divided before the referendum and we were still divided after it it wasn't the referendum that did that.
The SNP still support Scotland returning to being an independent country again. They will stand at elections and voters will decide on their manifesto. What is for sure is that the London Government are going to hammer us.

I WAS pleased to see that the Clutha Bar had reopened its doors following the helicopter tragedy.
It must have been a day of mixed emotions of all involved. I suppose it shows how Glasgow can rebuild itself time after time.
The strength of character this city has says a lot and I hope all involved on Friday realise the city was right behind them.
