Graeme's picture went viral last week
Were it not for Graeme and the rest of the volunteers from the Kindness Homeless Street Team – one of a number of groups and charities operating every night in Glasgow – braving the effects of Storm Darcy, many have asked what might have happened to those who needed their help most.
It’s also caused outcry amongst the city’s political leaders who say the scene – compared to a struggling communist state in Graeme’s viral post – is not unique and should never have been allowed to happen.
“The pictures of people queueing for emergency food in George Square are heart-breaking but unfortunately not an isolated case,”said Christy Mearns, a Green councillor.
