Tear Gas Attack in Glasgow

Looks like while I was up in the Sports Cafe on Sauchiehall St after the Scotlug meeting last night, someone was in Frankensteins on West George Street spraying CS gas around the place. I've been there before and it can be pretty packed on the best of nights. If that tear gas had been something […]
