Poetry Corner (03/09/15)



I've met lots of people during the long fight for equal pay in Scotland and I'm pleased to say that they have many hidden talents which often includes the ability to write poetry and verse.  

In this case a close relation of a GMB member from North Lanarkshire casts a scornful eye over the behaviour of her trade union and the local Labour council. 

Anyone who has attended one of the recent equal pay meetings in North Lanarkshire will understand exactly what's being said here - and the dangers of taking honest working people for granted.

The Musketeers Came in Threes

The Musketeers came in threes, 
McLuckie, Japp and Grieves,

They sat in the corner
Like Little Jack Horner, 

And listened with deaf ears
To our pleas, 

NLC must be having a giggle, 
Watching these three 
Squirm and wriggle, 

But the councillors better watch out,
Next election election they could be out,

So ladies and gents ,
Make every vote count,

And don't settle for less
Than the full amount !!!

SNP - Conspiracy of Silence

Image
So here's the issue - two Glasgow MSPs (Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf) have been asked a reasonable question about their use of public money to employ two SNP councillors who already have full-time, salaried jobs as senior elected members of Glasgow City Council.   But these two public servants (both long-serving ministers) refuse to answer, so what to do next? 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
