Poll dancing.


Mr Smith reads in the Herald Diary that "QUALIFYING in the "It's a dirty job but somebody's got to do it" category is a recent tour of entertainment establishments by Glasgow's licensing board members, including leather-jacketed Labour councillor Philip Braat, one of the younger breed of new councillors at the City Chambers. Once in the exotic dance club he was approached by one of the young ladies offering to dance with him. He shook his head, but so keen was she that she offered to dance with the young councillor without charging. However, a police officer accompanying the board discreetly stepped-in, advising the lady that they weren't customers but were on duty. Whether Councillor Braat welcomed this intervention is unclear."

Having seen the picture of Councillor Braat on the City of Glasgow Council website he somehow doubts that he would have been offered a free dance by any true professional dancer. Unless, of course they knew his background was in the law and they were in a bit of bother.
