The wicked witch of the west

Council went well today: along with the Tories and Greens we forced 5 issues to the casting vote of the Provost: a record!

Funniest moment has to be when Marilyne Maclaren was speaking and the windows of the Chamber (huge plate glass affairs) blew open and nearly swept her away...we didn't know if it was hot air or the wicked witch of the west coming for her: either way, it was a moment of hilarity...poor Marilyne: another bad day for her and to make matters worse the SNP (Coalition partners remember) were overheard in the corridors, sniggering at her expense - I think I feel sorry for her.

Best speech of the day definitely goes to Eric who blew the administration away castigating their position on the Single Outcome Agreement. When Cardownie gets twitchy and tries to rule 'time out' you can be sure he isn't liking what he is hearing.

I think Andrew will be well pleased with his first Council meeting as leader.
