Gotta be Tommy Sheridan for me, a guy who gave not just his life for the working class, but also his freedom.

was there ever a statue of william wallace in george square?

Ooh, there's an interesting question.

Glasgow has always been, to my knowledge, Anglocentric.

my mate has seen an old film of the square and he was sure he seen wallace in it but my thoughts were it was probably greek thompson.

Good to see Sandy Stoddart is still alive and available to deliver his standard lecture on anything modern.

Good point. What with a modernising UK Government and a modernising City Council, Glasgow can be assured of a place at the forefront of recovery.

Given the present need to make savings by GCC, is this really a priority?

[Vinegar Tom]

Borrowing AND leverage. I am worried about the collective sanity of Glasgow City Council and the national government for approving it.

cash to be borrowed against projected rises in business rates

The fact that Paddy Harvie is agin' it probably means it's an excellent idea.

When was it last renovated? I remember they dug it all up, cleaned the statues, laid new electrical outlets for events, installed brighter lights, and laid a new surface. It was in the last 5 years or so but I can't find any reference to it yet online.

Anyone got any evidence it ever happened?
