IT beggars belief to read Gordon Matheson's column in your paper where he writes "I will continue to robustly argue our corner whenever I think Glaswegians are being treated unfairly."
If any of the seven Glasgow MPs who lost their seats last week are still wondering why they are heading for the Jobcentre; they need look no further than the City Chambers.
Withdrawal of funding from the Charlie Reid Centre for people with enduring mental health issues, and the closure of six day centres for adults living with a learning disability are just two examples of the attacks on the vulnerable, disabled and elderly inflicted by the Labour Group in recent times. That is why in places like Maryhill the community came out in their hundreds to register their dissent. It will be the same in the 2016 Holyrood elections.

IN response to Elaine Smith, Evening Times Letters May 12, I would just like to point out it was Labour that lost the election, it was not the SNP that won it for Mr Cameron.
The final results were Con 331 Lab 232 and SNP 56. So even if every single Scottish seat fell to Labour that would still equal 291, far short of the 331 the Tories have.
Please get your facts correct before you put pen to paper.

THE X1 and F1 buses running every ten minutes to the new hospital are carrying fresh air with penny numbers on board and are merely adding to the congestion on Union/Jamaica Street and Hope Street.
What's-more, despite the advertising, they are not using the so-called "Fastlink" route either - as it's blocked by workers' vehicles.
Most of their journeys are spend stuck at red traffic lights.
Twenty five minutes for a few miles is a joke.

GREAT that the Turner Prize is coming to Glasgow, but I fail to see how throwing your coat over the back of a chair is art.
I hang my coat on the back of a chair all day, and I didn't realise I was being quite so artistic. I am sure the shortlisted exhibits will go down well in this city.
