Unaccountably, those upstanding (and unelected) champions of your tax dosh, the Tax Payers Alliance, seem to have missed a good news story for Scottish tax payers.
This is the recent announcement by the Scottish Government that the massive M74 extension is due to open 8 months early and £20m under budget. Given all those private business funded resources for monitoring the media, and the close working arrangement private contractors had with the council and Transport Scotland joint venture, you'd think that they would have noticed either the Scottish Government release - http://www.scotland.gov.uk/News/Releases/2011/06/14151514 or the later (but more balanced) UNISON one - http://www.unison-scotland.org.uk/news/2011/mayjune/1706a.htm
Maybe only tax savings invented by the TDA and their private sector lobby make it into their PRs and onto their pages?
A blog from Chris Bartter, trade union writer and communications expert in Scotland, This blog is a small contribution in opposition to the right-wing consensus in the media, and will. hopefully, campaign for working people and public services.
