advertising public notices
Cosla chief upset by decision
Published: 18/03/2010
THE president of the rather pointless talking shop Cosla, the Scottish local authorities’ group, has thrown his toys out of the pram following the government’s decision to drop plans to allow councils to advertise public notices on the internet, rather than in newspapers.
Pat Watters, ignoring the fact that all parties other than the SNP opposed the plan, compares the decision to forcing children to write with slates and chalk, and claims that nobody reads newspapers.
If that is, indeed, the case, we can, presumably, call him an idiot, safe in the knowledge that he’ll never know.
