Daylight Is The Best Disinfectant
Last night's BBC drama about MPs' expenses and former Speaker Michael Martin - should give great encouragement to all readers in South Lanarkshire.
Not only was it an accurate and entertaining portrayal of the political establishment trying to defend the indefensible - it showed that right can triumph over might - in the end.
So, South Lanarkshire Council's desperate attempts to prevent people from finding out the truth about pay levels - for different groups of male and female employees - will end in failure.
No doubt South Lanarkshire will try to delay and frustrate the process - as did Speaker Martin and many of his fellow MPs - but they can't turn back the tide.
Daylight really is the best disinfectant.
