Glasgow will lose a lot when you go! Is that you as the Dancing Christmas Tree?

There's an idea like Ordo Amaris in Judaism too.

I wonder how much lack of provision for children from local and central government is an active decision to invest money elsewhere and how much is the focus on minority groups and the assumption that minorities will lobby to ensure their own needs? Children are obviously a minority group who can not lobby for themselves!

Thanks Daniel- Yes that is me as the Dancing Christmas Tree :D On the lobby thing - it is an interesting dynamic as lobbyists create the need to ensure they are kept in pocket. So pathological societies are nurtured. And as you state, children cannot (despite claims to otherwise) lobby for themselves. Nor can they understand what it is they actually need. (what they want is another thing....)

Sorry to hear you are leaving. Also that you have found it difficult to access local football. We’re in giffnock and there are two community pitches within walking distance of us (cages that are open all the time for anyone to use). Maybe it’s just east ren council doing that?

I think some councils are better. But Glasgow is woeful
