More Kind Words



Here's a lovely letter from a regular reader of the blog site whose equal pay claim with South Lanarkshire Council has just been settled.

Dear Mark

 Thank You Very Much - You're the best!

 I have received my equal pay settlement from South Lanarkshire Council and am still in a state of shock as to how much I have actually got!

 It is life changing for me - for the first time in over twenty years I am no longer in debt. I am now able to do some home improvements, plan for a holiday for next year and still have a lot left to save for my retirement.

 So I want to thank you so very much for all the work, effort and sheer determination you have given to us all over the years.

 I will continue to read your blog site with interest.

 With my very best wishes

Now what can I say - I am just so pleased that folks in South Lanarkshire got what they deserved and although it was a long, hard fight I never doubted that we would win in the end.

 I only hope that the trade unions in South Lanarkshire feel thoroughly ashamed of their actions over the years because the truth is that when push came to shove they stood shoulder to shoulder with the Council - instead of standing up for their lowest paid members.

"First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn't... P

What a complete hoot - these hypocrites have no shame! Peter Murrell  @PeterMurrell "Anonymous political donations supposed to be a thing of the past. Yet Scottish Tories pocketed £319,000 from secretive trust with no fixed address or known current trustees. @Conservatives legally responsible for checking true identity of donors before accepting cash. #DarkMoney "
