Bellow is only a brief description, of life here up here… just in-case you think different? cheers.

So it’s the seventh day of the new year

Open mind open door hu! even open roof

Under pressure under paid under laid

That was a wee joke

House price down heavens still pouring down

.

Living here in this place they call Rutherglen

A Labour strong hold even held by an Englishman

No prejudices here I have Lot’s n Lot’s of English

And many other Nationalities as part of my family

Red Indian blood and many others so please

Know now the Elections for local Councils are due

SOUTH LANARKSHIRE is my Constituency to vote

How most of my neighbours vote is their own business

I am a believer in Democracy and a freedom of choice

Rutherglen for years has watched all the real Industries

Evaporate and the apathetic in politics of the area

.

But!

Labour keep winning hu! they even sit in coalition with

Under dogs the TORIES!!

South Lanarkshire needs a change a real radical change

Every man Woman in the District should look at their life’s…

……………………..

Most of all take a look at your children and grand children’s

Yes do they deserve better do they deserve Labour

.

Rutherglen is a very old place that has lingered to long

Amongst the old beliefs that a vote for labour will change things

No a vote for Labour is a waste a crying waste we need change

The tide of change is all around us in a country moving forward.

    You could be talking about my town, Kingston upon HULL!!
    Things never change when Labour have total power in a town.
    Still Yes Me, Things can only get better, or can they!!!
    Happy new year my friend.
