No-Go Areas in Glasgow. Serious ones.

What the fuck is there in their schemes to be proud of, and territorial about anyway?

Nothing, yet when there's nothing to be proud of it may all just come down to territory. What was it Dylan wrote about 'when you ain't got nothin', you got nothin' to lose'?

I'm not a fan of Salman Rushdie but he made a good point on Radio 4 early last week. He pointed out that when miserable excuses for human beings demand "respect", as in 'you will respect me', what they actually mean is 'you will fear me' and, if they don't get that, they respond with uncontrolled violence.

I still hold the view that otherwise good people end up in the worst possible accomodation they're prepared to tolerate. Some move away. Others just stay indoors. Others find a more drastic solution.

Back in the eighties, if I happened to meet one of the Dalmarnock crowd on his own, passing him by on the street, he wouldn't say a word - quiet as a mouse. But if that same person was sitting on a wall with half a dozen others like himself, all itching to make someone's life a misery, then all of a sudden that same teenager had a very loud mouth, ready to give folk an idea of just how tough he was. They got their strength from one another. Very brave when they were in a crowd, not so brave when alone.

But if a teenager didn't fit themselves in with the others around him, he could become isolated - and that was the real problem. They HAD TO act like that, or become an outcast.

Hey, Lippy, good to see you posting again.

Cheers. I'm trying to get back into photography, so I bought myself a new camera and thought I'd pop my head back in here.

I tended to just be a hermit, then finally moved away. I go back to Shortlees occasionally but it doesn't get any better...

I remember doing a recovery of a car in Blackhill for the police that had been used in an attempted murder. About 30 men and women fighting with the cops. That was a kinda scary place.

The main door at Glasgow Central Station. It's slash city at that bit. Welcome to Glasgow, yer claimed! I normally use the other doors, although the Hope Street exit had that severed ear a while back and the Union Street door has the Big Issue seller who is rude to me under her breath when I walk by, as if she is a VIP.

It's all dangerous now. I live in the sewers and in old tunnels.

You can't walk down a street without someone rolling down a car window and screaming at you - or worse - using an actual tannoy!

[Josef]

Hey, Field Marshall!

Nice to see you again. That brightened my day right up.

If we come across any herbal tea-scented sewers or tunnels on our travel, we'll pop in and say hello.

It seems that Pollokshields is a disproportunately no-go area in relation to violence, rape and murder if you are an ethnically native Scot or similar.
The Kris Donald Murder, the murder of Irishman William McKeenan and the rape of a working girl by two Sikh Holy Men tells us that if you are a native Scot then you are more likely to be murdered or a victim of violent assault per capita in Pollokshields than anywhere else in Scotland because of your skin colour.

You want to define what a 'native scot' is?
By the look of it anyone who is white according to you?

Erm not particularly, I will let the facts stand for themselves.

Perhaps I should have stipulated ethnically native Scot, maybe then your irrational PC dander would not have been up so much,

[The Egg Man]

Except they're not actually facts, are they?

Of the three crimes you mention, the rape took place in Midland Street and Kriss Donald was murdered somewhere near Celtic's training ground.

From the evidence you've provided, they're not so much standing for themselves as wobbling alarmingly.

One rape and one murder of an 'ethnic Scot' in eight years scarcely constitutes a crime wave, let alone some sort of ethnic cleansing as you seem to be implying.

if you are a native Scot then you are more likely to be murdered or a victim of violent assault per capita in Pollokshields than anywhere else in Scotland because of your skin colour.

Where's the statistical evidence that underlines your claim, Dave?

Get Back to where you belong, Dave.

Dress it up anyway you like. The horrors perpetrated were connived and planned in Pollokshields. There are more chances of being murdered in Pollokshields if you happen to be of Indo-European stock than that of any other ethnic group .

Don't let political correctness get in the way.

To deny the facts is to be complicit---a la Jimmy Savile.

Have a look in the mirror.
