Big fat zero

The day started with a 9am Labour Group meeting where quip of the morning went to Ricky Henderson. Learning that the Lib/SNP Coalition plans a new lighting system (temporarily scrapped because of the negative blogger reaction to the Evening News story), Ricky says, 'So the Council Chamber is going to be a red light zone.'

Throughout the day the SNP corner periodically flagged up a red flag...they wish...

Andrew Burns scored palpable hits twice... catching Marilyne out in yet another big lie, this time about school catering, and knocking the Administration onto the ropes over a school building programme that's just not going to happen in the next 3 years - Labour has initiated or built 34 major school refurbishment or rebuilding in the last 8 years - for the Lib Dem/SNP it looks like a big fat zero during its lifetime. 34-0: a rugby score!

An 8.30pm finish is a joke - an hour and half given over to a presentation from Terry Farrell was an hour too long...and if we hadn't had that then we wouldn't have had an hour long evening adjournment either. But I bet you, Labour gets the blame.
