Four men appeared in private at Glasgow Sherrif Court on Monday accused of murdering RM 18 years of age from Drumoyne. The men DG, AML, IA and MM (ages from 21 to 24) were charged that on October 26 in Meiklewood Road near Berryknowes Road and in Tormore Street they assaulted the 18 year old, threw a Glass at him, chased him, punched himto the ground, cut him on the face and hands with a knife or similar instrument and kicked him on the head and body whereby he was so severly injured that he died later the same day in the Souithern General Hospital and 'they did murder him'
Last Sunday the Most Reverend James Donald Scanlon, Archbishop of Glasgow launched the Catholic Church's youth mission, Meditation 68 which is aimed at curbing Glasgow's gang problem. Through the mission the church hopes to deepen the faith of their younger members and help them to realise more fully their civic responsibilities. It is also hoped the programme of talks, debates, discussions and special services will have an effect on the problems of social justice, housing and drunkeness.

Strange to say, the same themes seemed to apply then as now. If there is any demand, I might try and stick it on YouTube and post the link.

I don't think there's any doubt there'll be demand. If you can make it work, please do.
