Cllr Thomas Kerrs statement......"20 quid!!!! 20 bloody quid its cost us to get that flag down!!!!! It was wee Jimmy the janitors day off and we've had to pay him overtime to come in, untie the knot in the rope and pull that flag in before it upsets the statue defenders outside. And then there's the investigation!! Mr lord provost has assured me that no expense will be spared in catching the culprits....i mean john the security guard will, at least, get 4 hours overtime sifting through the hour of security tape. So whats that.....about £100 they tarrie......i mean vandals have cost the city of Glasgow, and that's coming out your pocket. You. The peepuuuuuul, I mean the people of Glasgow. Yes, granted, we have saved hundreds of thousands of pounds that would have been spent on police, clean up, repairing of public property and court cases due to the marching season being postponed, did you get that, postponed...not cancelled!! But thats not the point. We can't keep allowing these fenia.......vandals to constantly rub their success in our noses."
