Weak sauce and not commensurate to the size of the crisis. RTB needs to be abolished.

@mlothianmclean This is absolutely not true Moya and i’d be grateful if you’d retract it . You were blocked because you joined a community facebook page and started PMing the members to write an article that isn’t saying much positive about Govanhill. You are not the first.

[Greater Manchester Housing Action @gmhousingaction]

Mill Media's attempt to replicate their model in Glasgow is going well.... not 😂😂😂

[Govanhill Go! @GovanhillGo]

Wow the Bell knows how to win friends & influence people. They were removed from the group for lurking about approaching members for stories that obviously already had a slant, not because someone asked me to. That’s the same whether you are the Glasgow Times or London Times.

[Neil Gray @NeilGray00]

A bakery is not a 'lightning-rod' for gentrification. Try the rentier economy, urban capital accumulation and and land and property speculation. More misplaced nonsense about gentrification in Govanhill.

@Factory051 Aye plenty of good local media in Glasgow that actually understands the city it's in!

"We are witnessing the attempt by the wealthy – landlords, property developers – to gentrify the city completely. Long-running independents replaced with apartment blocks. Your local knocked down for a chain. Let’s not even go there with Ancoats."

For @phil_football Reading Guide to 1st 100 Days of Keir as PM chose The Rentier State'. @_isaacrose argues a government that replaced the rental industry with council owned housing would be just about the most popular policy Labour could enact.

As I went for the left nimbys yesterday, for balance, this is my take on the right yimbys.

Our campaign @blocktheblock1 is crowdfunding to cover legal fees as it prepares to take the Council's planning department to court.

It's just passed £2k! With payday around the corner, why not chip in yourself this weekend?
