Glasgow

A hundred years of selling

December 14, 2021 by Jackie Kemp Leave a Comment

“The Barras is a historic spot. But could it benefit, if not from gentrifiction, from some fresh blood – perhaps the kind of vintage clothing and upcycling operation which seems to bring the young and the tourists to Brick Lane or Portobello Road in London?”

COP26: Scotland’s green innovation showcase

January 9, 2020 by Christopher J White Francesco Sindico Keith Bell Leave a Comment

‘Scotland also leads the way not only on science innovation, but on ways in which research and development can provide community-informed solutions to sea and climate change challenges…’

Poverty Safari: growing up with ACEs and toxic stress

February 5, 2018 by Carol Craig 1 Comment

‘(McGarvey’s) aware that many on the left will see this as a cop out but he’s ready with his reply. Of course, the left must continue to argue and campaign for structural change, he tells us, but no real change can happen unless poor people begin to feel powerful in their own lives.

Adverse childhood, austerity and personal responsibility

February 1, 2018 by Tony O'Donnell Leave a Comment

‘Carol Craig has seen and shown how the child is father to the adult, identifying the childhood stresses that result in lifelong damage. But without substantial easing of the economic tensions that strain a household to breaking point, the requisite change isn’t coming any day soon’.

November 29, 2017 by Carol Craig 4 Comments

‘We need to speak up for ourselves and other children from Scotland’s past. We need to fathom out how to protect subsequent generations.
