welcome back Lawrence - I never knew he had gone away! - I thought giving out information is part of a Councillor's job - we don't need to be grateful - no offence - I would say that about any Party's Councillor - including my own Party's Councillor -
on a general point and not aimed at any particular councillor, I do think its a bit odd and unfair that Councillors want
£25,000 for a Part Time job but yet will not pay
nursery nurses more than £13,800 (start on £10,000c after 2 yrs training) for a
Full Time and equally if not more responsible job, and who look after the welfare and education of our young children. - more on this point later, on the Political Thread - which Bob could set up if I don't get around to it soon -
too tired from campaigning but will perk up again shortly - almost certainly for Sat's Demo Against The Continuing Occupation of Iraq and against war, - 10.30 Glasgow - George Sq - see

as many people are realising these are two sides of the same coin - no money to pay mainly a women workforce on very poor pay, to look after children (women's work after all!huh), to pay PCS Union members who are very low (start £9,000) paid, (Benefits Workers DSS), or pay pensioners a decent pension etc and yet £6 billion min. spent on killing people in Iraq.....and a continuing unwanted occupation of Iraq which costs us £5 million per week in the UK alone & look at the chaos - so if you wonder why your Council Tax is so high, or you're not getting much of a pay rise, or Council services like Schools and Community Centres are being shut or handed over to private finance, here's your main reason.....and have Bush and Blair made the world a safer place by bombing and killing 20,000 men, women and children in Iraq not to mention Afghanistan? clearly not ....
