    I remember very well when this happened. My sister went to England at the time George passed away, and brought back a lot of British newspapers since she knew i am a massive Beatles fan. Georges passing was on the cover of every major newspaper, and i remember one of them had a big pic of George on the front cover with the title "Our sweet George" 20 pages of the newspaper were dedicated to George. I also remember when he was attacked and almost killed in his home. I was listening to the radio, and the radio host suddenly stopped the broadcast to say that he had some very sad news, and then went on to tell that George Harrison had been seriously wounded and almost killed by a crazy fan. He passed away only two years later..

    I wish we were still in the 90's - cause there were some truly great parliamentarians still including this man gone too soon. Compared to then now we are truly living through a political self centred political vacuum. The 90's had its issues, of course it did - but the self serving, toxicity and bitterness of today was nowhere near this bad and it was a better time for it!

    @alexglass Scottish Parliament total waste of taxpayers money. Blair cashed in on the progress made by John Major....gave the IRA everything they wanted on a plate...arms were never surrender. New IRA still killing people with PROVO weapons. LGBT rights....doesn't affect me, I'm not gay...but no great issue with people who are. Bankrupted the entire economy ...."There is no money" was Labour's 2010 strapline to the coalition.

    I feel like her intentions are good but she seems to have been cut off from reality for a long time. She has been too long in academia. I like her saying we are all responsible though. In my area, about 30 miles from Glasgow there are a lot of community projects now and people taking ownership and pride in their environment, but previously you felt you couldn't, it wasn't your property. So it needs infrastructure, it needs people who know how the council works, who can set up a charity, basically who can provide support and training. It needs open mindedness in that you might be working with people from another neighbourhood who also have problems but you can all get on together. Like in one of the schemes, folk who lived there got together and took what was an abandoned park,and turned it around, but they got a lot of help to do that.
