First Post. Just testing... In Easterhouse this walk has become a Via Dolorosa, a path trod regularly by visiting journalists and TV crews seeking the sacred spot where Iain Duncan Smith (nearly) wept in epiphany a decade ago. It sickens the locals, groaning when yet another visitor asks the way. The picturesque boarded-up Glasgow tenement, where Duncan Smith was photographed looking stricken, was already condemned, and long ago replaced under Labour's Decent Homes programme. But life behind front doors took a desperate turn for the worse, largely due to the man who underwent a Damascene conversion here – only to undergo a reverse conversion later.
