Talk Talk



I have been complaining to Talk Talk, of and on, for most of 2015 following a 'scam' phone call in November of last year.

 Now scam phone calls happen all the time, but my dissatisfaction with Talk Talk was that the chap who called me had my Talk Talk account number and other personal details, for example my telephone number.

"How could this happen?", was my question to the Talk Talk chief executive Dido Harding and all these months later I am none the wiser, even though I was assured at the time that a major investigation was underway.

 So the latest news about a major cyber attack on Talk Talk comes as no surprise to me because their security systems seem not to be up to scratch and the company can't say it wasn't warned.

 My next port of call will be to complain to the industry regulator, Ofcom, and isn't it good to know that there is an independent referee I can contact when things go wrong.

 All of which reinforces the message behind my campaign to Make Unions More Accountable (MUMA).

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
