Steven 'bin laden' Purcell and the Labour Council of shame eye up 600 more families to destroy in Glasgow











Dear All

Remember the Labour Party cry of sticking up for Glasgow, rather falls on deaf ears now.

Steven ‘bin laden’ Purcell and the Labour Council of shame propose to destroy 600 jobs, 600 families with feel the brunt of Labour incompetence.

Included in the Purcell package for destruction, 228 middle management posts are among the casualties.

The cuts in the dear green place will see opening hours at the city's museums slashed and the old Labour Party favourite of charging kids for food may be introduced.

Purcell finally got his adventure off the ground, ‘raiders of the last school piece’!

In the tradition of destroying communities the Labour Council will be considering closing community halls, swimming pools and a library.

Just as the kids have nowhere to go, Purcell is getting his dig at the old, inform and elderly.
The cuts are aimed at saving £30.3 million right across the board, the dear green place won’t be so happy anymore then it is a Labour Council.

Purcell and the Labour Council of shame will still be keeping in with big business.

In trying to put a brave face on Labour’s incompetence nationally Baillie Gordon Matheson said;

"The Scottish Executive has given us the lowest increase in funding of any council in Scotland, at 1.5%. Obviously this makes the decisions we have to take more difficult”.

Let’s remember that Glasgow City Council still receives more money than any other local authority in Scotland.

More than Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Dundee, Stirling and St Andrews!

There is no rip off Glasgow campaign, not under an SNP Government at least but certainly under the UK Labour Government, Scotland is being ripped off.

Labour MP William Bain, the great socialist fighter who stays in the dressing room could verify that one.

SNP MSP Bob Doris said;

"Labour have their priorities all wrong. Cutting public spending in the teeth of a recession is absolutely the wrong thing to do, and putting more Glaswegians out of work is unforgivable”.

Not that London Labour is listening.

Bob Doris added;

“The 2010/11 local government settlement figures show that despite the London spending squeeze the SNP has ensured Glasgow City Council gets over 25% more per head than the Scottish average, the highest funding per head of any mainland local authority in Scotland."

What a pity the people of Glasgow are served by such donkeys as Steven ‘bin laden’ Purcell and the Labour Council of shame.

I wonder how many of those facing the Labour axe will be cronies and family members of the Labour Councillors.

I suspect very few.
