@scotsangel1 tweeted: “Absolute pish, Labour totally wrecked Glasgow when I was a kid, they pulled down houses left right and centre, there was rats the size of dugs running in the street, bin men went on strike and army had to come in clean the streets of rubbish.”

@worriedscot1 said: “Can we all assume you think Glasgow is not filthy and rat ridden at the moment? That is the issue right now!”

#CONVERSION

The UK government has set out its plans to ban gay conversion therapy in England and Wales, with a six-week consultation. @Nayxsuper tweeted: “wait… this wasn't banned already? God, this country is a mess.” @Pogmothoin74 said: “About time! I look back on my time of conversion therapy and I can’t believe I’m alive today to put lightly. I was told marriage would change my illness. Lots of lives and relationships destroyed. All in the name of god. This should be made into law, banned and those practising punished!” @lunardawn99 wrote: “I’m surprised this hasn’t happened already!” @keelerinstinct added: “How was this not banned 50 years ago? Totally shameful. It's like hearing your country still practices slavery”.”

@joha7127 asked: “Can we also ban indoctrinating children into believing they're a girl in a boy’s body?”
