Council response to social media comments about Baroness Thatcher and George Square
In response to comments on social media sites suggesting people are planning to hold a party in George Square following the death of Baroness Thatcher, Glasgow City Council has issued the following statement.
Regardless of whether or not it’s appropriate to have a party to celebrate someone dying, this event was organised without involvement or consent from the council and we have safety concerns for anyone attending.
Organisers of legitimate events must get permission to use the square. They must also satisfy the council that they will take safety precautions such as providing first aiders, sufficient public toilets and stewards, as well as obtaining public liability insurance.
Would have had you down as an arch Thatcherite to be honest. You hate Irish people and anything distinctively Irish and were sneering and looking down your nose on working class people labelling them as scum the other day.
As much as I despise most of Paisley’s career, he was prepared to compromise in the end. He also brought nearly the entire Unionist movement with him. Did a lot to reach out to nationalists and 26 county government in the end too. There are many politicians in the 26 who could learn a thing or two from him imo.
