MUSIC SOLUTION

I AM a frequent visitor to the wonderful Clutha bar however it is very annoying that the bands are frequently interrupted and told to turn the volume down due to complaints from the nearby hotel and flats.

Surely the council, pub owners and complainers could get together and find a solution to the problem that accommodates all parties.

I have listed to live bands all over Scotland and the Clutha is the only one where the music stops at 11pm

C’mon Glasgow, get into the twenty first century.

USE EMPTY HOMES

THE increasing numbers of people sleeping rough on the streets of our towns and cities is surely indicative of the society we have become.

Surely the Government, local authorities and charities should be pooling resources and developing strategies to eliminate this scourge.

In the interim, empty properties should be identified and used to get these unfortunate fellow citizens of the streets for the winter to provide shelter, warm bed and some hot food and perhaps some advice and assistance etc.

Is this not the minimum you would expect of a decent society?

FED UP WITH POLLS

WHEN the people vote in their chosen government surely it is down to the MP’s to make our country’s decisions on our behalf to the best of their ability.

At least that’s what I thought was going on but no, every proposal is put to the public in referendums or polls and if any particular party does not get the result they want another referendum or poll is always on the cards.

The attitude seems to be, we’ll keep going till we get it our way.

I can see a time when we won’t need a government at all as no one in government seems to be able to be responsible for making a decision about anything.

WRONG PRIORITIES

THE Tories definitely have their priorities right in this time of austerity.

Now they want the government to approve a new Royal Yacht, that could sail round the world representing Britain!

I suggest instead of bleeding the taxpayers, they ask for donations to fund this ridiculous extravagance.

Then let’s see how much the UK Billionaires, Millionaires, tax dodgers and perhaps the Royal Family would contribute.
