Black comedy set in Glasgow's East End - lots of local humour, but not as funny as it wants to be. Robert Carlyle's first film as director and he's also the lead character, which was probably a tad over-ambitious in keeping everything rolling consistently and making a strange plot work properly. Some scenes set in Red Road flats ![[Image: flats.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/flats.jpg) ![[Image: flatsa.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/flatsa.jpg) just before their infamous demolition cock-up. |

Cloud of asbestos drifting into the city? |

It made the deep-fried Mars bars taste funny for a couple of days, but that soon passed. |

They were literally full of asbestos, I checked the wikipedia article. Very slow killer. Like Chernobyl the wind direction will determine the lucky ones. |

"The Red Road flats are a huge set of tower blocks located in the east of Glasgow. System built the post-war flats are unusual as they are steel frame structures, with brick and block infill panels and then a light timber frame used across the entire elevations to allow the metal cladding to be affixed to the structure. The buildings used asbestos throughout their construction, to the extent that even diy drilling into the walls or celings by residents was banned due to the risk of asbestos dust. The demolition has involved extensive manual stripping of all cladding, insulation and much of the interiors to avoid destruction of these asbestos materials and the resultant health hazards." - http://www.derelictglasgow.co.uk/contechredroad.html - written in 2011. So in theory the asbestos was removed before the demolitions. Our beloved Council originally had a plan to blow up the towers as the centrepiece of the opening ceremony for the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Which would have been an unbeatable and unrepeatable entry in the charts of opening ceremony stunts, but there was a huge outcry from the citizens that the flats were too significant for Glasgow's social history to be trivialised like that, so the Big Chiefs of George Square backed off. Which - as things turned out - was probably wise. |

Was it the same company from the demolition video that did the asbestos removal? |

In the actual EU-world with the partly grotesque asbestos-hysteria (try to get rid off asbestos roof cladding or other asbestos goods ![[:kiki]](https://imcdb.opencommunity.be/images/smileys/kiki.gif "[:kiki]") it's absolutely unthinkable to blow up asbestos-containing buildings without removing every single gram of it.Here /vehicle.php?id=418675 the asbestos-cleaning lasted several years. |

Can be sent to the local recycle park here, free, to dump in a canvas-covered container. Because Belgium is full of Eternit roofs - also in Italy big scandal: Link to "www.lemonde.fr" |

In a ideal world, Schmidheiny should be jailed for life. |

"sentenced to 18 years in prison, but Italy's highest Cassation Court overturned the verdict" .. Difficult to get a conviction with high profile cases and media interference. Same with Amanda Knox case. |

Not accidentally I said "in a ideal world". And Ms Knox will always have a prison cell ready just for her, it's just sad being unable to maintain the rule of law. |
