I would like to praise Councillor Drew Hendry for exhibiting such good manners and courtesy during said interview which included Danny Alexander.

Mr Hendry twice interrupted to suggest that the listeners wouldn't appreciate their shouting at each other and again to suggest that said listeners would not want to listen to them talking over each other - he wasn't the person doing either.

I listened to an interview with Messrs Cameron and Milliband and their conduct towards each other was absolutely disgraceful. Surely there's no place in politics for such shameful behaviour from folk who are supposed to be educated enough to run our country?

In just one day the Labour General Election campaign in Scotland has been holed, potentially fatally, below the waterline, not by any other political party, but by its own party bosses at Westminster.

At the launch of Labour's UK manifesto, both party leader Ed Miliband and shadow chancellor Ed Balls have said that there would be public spending cuts in Scotland, when Mr Murphy had already firmly claimed there wouldn't.

When Mr Murphy's claims were put to them, the shadow business secretary Chuka Umunna said: "The leader of the Scottish Labour Party will not be in charge of the UK budget."

Mr Murphy has been hung out to dry and the simple truth is that Labour would impose swingeing spending cuts on Scotland and the rest of the UK, carrying on with austerity where the Tories left off.

Ed Miliband, Ed Balls and Chuka Umunna have just confirmed that Labour in Scotland continue to be no more than a branch office of Westminster Labour and Mr Murphy has been left devoid of any credibility in this campaign.

Regrading MSP calling for questions to be answered around Scotstoun chimney plans, well done Bill Kidd and the SNP for seeking further information and assessments about this proposed gasifying stack.

One day of consultation is not enough. I live in the West End too and I hadn't heard about this.

People's health and safety and the the air qualify must be safeguarded.

As a motorist, I have had enough of sitting at lights which have gone red, only for other drivers to go through.

Are they invisible? I hope at some point the authorities catch up with them. Everyone has to play by the rules.
