Me, Unreasonable?



I imagine that this is what the big bosses at North Lanarkshire Council must feel like today.

Because yesterday the Scottish Information Commissioner (SIC) was in touch with some great news - that my FoI appeal against the Council has been upheld.

Which means that North Lanarkshire will have to publish a potentially explosive report to its Corporate Management Team (CMT) from August 2005 having failed in its desperate attempt to keep this document under wraps.

I will have much more to say about the SIC decision in the days ahead.

But isn't it interesting that every time the North Lanarkshire's behaviour is subject to rigorous, independent scrutiny - by SIC and the ongoing Employment Tribunal - the Council receives such a terrible 'kicking'.  

And so richly deserved too, which is why I'll be alerting Scotland's First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, to this news in support of my call for Scottish Ministers to investigate North Lanarkshire's behaviour in relation to equal pay.

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...
