Project Europe

So far, I have to say I am none too impressed with the Yes campaign for the UK to remain a member of the European Union (EU).

Every time I hear or read about what someone has to say on the subject, they preface their remarks by attacking another supporter on the Yes side, as the former Labour leader Ed Miliband did the other day when the thrust of his argument was to attack the Tories.   

As a result I am compiling my own list of reasons for voting Yes which have little to do with what the politicians have been saying up until now. 

1 Ease of travel and cheap flights to EU member countries

 2 Free health cover while on holiday or business within the EU zone

 3 Lower mobile phone costs instead of exorbitant mobile roaming charges 

 4 Opportunities for young people to live and study in other EU countries courtesy of the Erasmus programme 

 Now that's just for starters and I'll think about what else I can add in the weeks ahead without banging on about the all too obvious items such as the fact that the EU is our most important trading partner.

SNP - Conspiracy of Silence

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
