Been living here the last 7 years; people who say it's bad or it's dangerous don't live here, they rely on news reports or statistics to suit their agenda, but usually they just have leanings to the right and don't like people with different coloured skin and hard to pronounce names. Of course, like everywhere, there's aresholes. But I've never had any negative experiences living here. In my 43 years, I've been lucky to spend a total of about 15 years in Glasgow southside and I couldn't recommend it higher to anyone who's looking to move to Glasgow. Places like Cranhill, Baillieston and Easterhouse in the east end are the places you need to worry about. It gets a bad press but it really is a cool place to live - I have the best craft beer shop and bar in Glasgow 5 mins from my flat, plus food places covering every country you can think of. Big thumbs up from me. My sister in law's family are all from Coatbridge and Glasgow's east end and again Coatbridge and Airdrie have a reputation but in reality its not that bad . Plenty new housing build near the M8 which ain't cheap . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But...🤷♂️ As I said earlier though, I thought a 3% swing in Glasgow would be a good inducation marker nationally, when the dust settles. 8's probably well exceeded Labour's expectations. Definite food for thought seems to be appearing, despite an almost certain majority, as expected. Smarmy is Willie rennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DETTY29 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 (edited) Tories are worried that instead of unionists votes going to them, they are going to Lib Dems and Labour instead which won't help their list position. Edit - hadn't seen Banff and Buchan result which was a big swing to Tories although SNP retain. It was in the EN so it is a Lothian's List concern.
