Glasgow 'proudly' leads European cities for gang warfare the program said. I saw some of the Toryglen gang hoping to have a 'cultural exchange' with the Gretna and Hearts supporters when I was up for the Scottish Cup final on Sat!

People make light-hearted comments about Iraq all the time and yet 3500 people die there every single week.
