Debating South Lanarkshire
A regular reader from South Lanarkshire has been in touch - with what I think is an interesting suggestion.
'How about holding a series of local meetings in the area - to debate publicly the issues surrounding Single Status, Equal Pay and Freedom of Information?'
Well, I think I'd be up for that - all we'd need are some suitable local venues - ones that are not controlled by the council in case there are any difficulties about booking the facility.
I imagine local polticians would be interested in coming along - councilllors, MSPs and MPs.
Maybe we could challenge some of the key players to an open public debate - for example, the leadership of the council along with local trade union leaders - and so on.
So let me know what you think?
A series of public meetings would take a bit of organising - but I'm all in favour of freedom of speech and an open public debate - on the big issues of the day.
Let's see who else is up for it as well.
