G12 is the real problem

The real problem is Glasgow G1 to G12..
Inventors of the internal combustion engine and television.
These technologies are enabling the hyper capitalism and climate change which the soft heads on both sides of the fence at GlenEagles are basing their lives around or resisting for the moment.

Ultimately Greater Glasgow will provide the big heed socio-eco-technical solutions to the problems we have created.

We will also provide ideological chit chat in the meantime from the likes of Keir Hardy and Adam Smith.

Glesgae will provide.. Professor Mahatma MacBain

I've just been told around 50 people were arrested yesterday and are being held , some of whom were in Glasgow and not taking part in anything at the time, but are held for conspiracy.

Dont forget the bicycle

A guy from Ayrshire invented the bicycle (and didn't dunlop who invented the tyre come from there too?) and his first outing on it was to Glasgow.

So I guess your prophesy about Glaswegians concieving the big-headed solutions to their own malicious invention's problems was partly pre-fulfilled :)
