Councillors.


Courtesy of the Herald Diary, the latest take on the lives of our Councillors.

"A WEST-end-of-Glasgow bookshop is stocking Halls of Infamy, the recollections of a former councillor on Glasgow City Council, written under the nom de plume James MacDonald, but which a little investigative work would suggest is penned by former LibDem Hillhead councillor Niall Walker. Not taking any prisoners, the author writes: "The majority of Glasgow's councillors are overweight, many are obese. They do little exercise and go everywhere in council limousines. They tell Glaswegians to use public transport or cycle but don't practise what they preach. They also lecture people on healthy eating; I used to see them stuffing their faces with cream cakes in our canteen." No wonder the occasional burly councillor has been seen buying the booklet to see what other dirt he dishes up."
