Poppy Evasion

Here's a something that made me laugh - from a recent edition of Private Eye. 

I'm not sure if the people who write such things are already bonkers before they go online - or if it's the time and energy they spend on sharing their great thoughts - that actually drives them over the edge.  

Either way it brightens up my day.

Protesters to repeat poppy burning

I have no truck with the Muslims Against Crusades or their annual 'Hell For Heroes' protest with its tiresome poppy-burning ritual. I'll say this for them though: at least they buy a new poppy every year, even if they burn it.

But what of the weasels who flaunt the same faded poppy year after year? Introduce a different colour poppy every year. That will soon stop this insidious poppy evasion. The robber barons of our local authorities could then take a day off from their extortion and intsruct their army of 'parking wardens' to impose a hefty penalty on anyone without the right colour.

One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'. Write to the leader of Glasgow City Council Write to the Chief Executive of Glasgow City Council Write to all elected members in Glasgow City Council Write to the party leaders in Glasgow City Council W
