Post by Orla »

Just been reading on TOP about the changes being made, Aberdeen, Shetland & Stornoway stay, but sadly Clyde goes on March 2015.
A bad day for the people there.

If only they'd had the presence of mind to make the area an SNP-LibDem marginal. They might even have got an emergency tug as well.

Yet the MCA are still advertising for jobs on my Internet at the same time as making job cuts.
