@CaringCity@CampusYoker Wonder how many people died of starvation in the third world countries while the EEC just created mountains of surplus food to plough back in the ground to hold subsidies and prices for farmers.
@CaringCity@CampusYoker There was also Cheese, Pope's Eye Steak, Milk, Butter and also a European Wine Lake which was never released and poured down the drains. We only drank Buckie in Yoker so we didn't care anyway.
Someone asked me (Ross) what my first insight into charity & community action was. One clear memory sticks out. Distributing tins of EEC Mince with @sandybusby2 and the @CampusYoker folks circa 1987.
Who remembers EEC Mince?
Well done to the Yoker children and the school staff. Kids showing they care and it does so on their expressions and faces. We should all be proud of Yoker's future generation.
Michael spent the morning making this video on his own because the rest of us are to modest to punt what we are doing all day. I am going to nominate him for a razzie
@MartinaJG So proud to know this man. Must be the only one where neighbours want to hear drums from next door.
Keep going Declin. We only have pots and sticks but Julie and her mum give it baldy. WE are all so inspired by you and can't wait to buy your first album. Sandy XXX
We discussed the intro of the NHS and how the school clinics kept on top of us even with the dreaded nit nurse. We also discussed that the same generation are now a low priority for the generation they done so much for. Just to let you know, we also had a lot of laughs
I just had a call from a 92 years young lady from Knightswood to thank us for popping a letter offering support through her door. I was really taken on by her doing that and we had a great chat.
I gave her our genuine thanks for coming through a war as a wean, being part of a generation that gave us penicillin on demand, a vaccine for polio, diphtheria, measles, tuberculosis and more.
Matt Hancock, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care today announced that all social carers will receive a Blue Peter badge instead of the Personal Protective Equipment they’ve been begging for.
@sandybusby2 Thank@you@so mush for this lovely card which I received today It brightened up my day Thank you for all the great work you and your angels are doing 🙏
@PAShanky I wouldn't' trust any lawyer and its well known that the majority of MP,s and politicians have been to law school.
I have put this question to you loads of times Paul!!
Ques. What have you got if you have six lawyers up to the neck in sand?
Ans. Not enough sand !!!!
We’ve had the trumpet for week 1, a song for week 2 and now, week 3 marks a poem for the Community Hub in Yoker. In the theme of spreading the love...we need to have ‘time to stand and stare.’ #gratitude#community@sandybusby2 @DeborahMcLaren7 @EvaCMurray @MichaelSNP13
