Joan McAlpine writes an excellent article in today's Sunday Times in which she slates the comments of Glasgow council leader Stephen Purcell. Last week Mr Purcell blamed the SNP for his scholastic slums but Ms McAlpine's having none of it.
It was all Alex Salmond's fault said Mr Purcell, his hostility to the PPP and RFI models of funding building projects meant the school building programme in Scotland was slowing.
Ms McAlpine tells Mr Purcell he is acting like a child caught misbehaving in the playground, who then points the finger at an innocent child. But he is easily found out because his timing is terrible.
She pulls Mr Purcell's statement to pieces, bit by little bit and does it without any of the usual SNP bias from a large majority of Scottish journalists. It will be uncomfortable reading for Mr Purcell or indeed the labour group of Glasgow council, but do I care?
BellegroveBelle also posts on this subject and it's well worth a read as she's an SNP Glasgow councillor.
