liberal democrats? I think not!

Labour Group meeting today - three hours later it was still going on and I had to leave. Lots to go through: budget cuts; school closures; Meadowbank replacement but, interestingly, a sleekit move to change Council standing orders to forbid deputations to the Council. Even Malcolm Chisholm MSP has been denied a hearing - I advised him to knock on the door again...standing orders don't change until Council debates and decides. And what kind of Coalition is it that wants to deny people their say? Not very liberal; not very democratic and definitely not very sure of their ground!
