I WAS interested to see the £20,000 living culture which has been installed in Killermont Street outside the west side of Buchanan Street bus station.

The living culture is designed to absorb dangerous particulates from car exhausts which pollute the city centre atmosphere.

It looks slick and modern and there is an inscription on it which informs passers-by of what it does.

It also asks people coming into Glasgow to leave their cars at home to reduce city centre pollution in this great city of ours.

This is a noble message from Glasgow City Council but that message means nothing to the hundreds of councillors, council officials and government officials who bring their cars into town every day to park in their free city centre car parking spaces.

It’s been happening for decades and it’s time for this hypocritical behaviour to end.

Sickening sight

AFTER the disaster of the burning and incineration of poor people in that high flat building due to the greed and arrogance of the contractors, I was sickened to see the diabolical obscenity of the well to do at Royal Ascot.

They were flaunting their wealth and wearing ridiculous hats.

It’s just too much to watch and the sick irony of them taking one minute to remember the dead when they have never taken one minute to think of the poverty stricken people while they were alive.

No confidence

READING about Brexit talks starting, I hope our negotiators realise the EU people have no idea about what will happen.

The EU is losing it’s second biggest contributor and they are in a flat spin as to how they will manage without us.

Talk about the blind leading the blind, I have no confidence in either side coming to a reasonable agreement.

Blind eye?

GLASGOW life proposes to spend 100k on their Drumchapel pool (Evening Times June 19), yet turns a blind eye to fixing the health suites in the Gorbals and Bellahouston gyms.

The Gorbals has a jacuzzi that has been broken for two years and they say don’t have the funds to fix it.

I can’t understand why the council say they are the biggest and best gym club in Scotland, yet they can’t fix a simple problem of a jacuzzi.
