Lib Dem Candidate at it again...

I see that our Lib Dem candidate is at it again, attacking the Labour led Council Administration in today's Greenock Telegraph for only providing funding for 5 additional teachers in our recent budget proposals.

How many times do I have to remind this young man that his Lib Dem colleagues on the Council voted against this funding for additional teachers and included no funding in their own budget proposals for increasing teacher numbers?

Lib Dems saying one thing and doing another. Nothing new there then.

Our Lib Dem candidate of course would have us believe that if Nick Clegg is swept into power at Westminster we will see increased teacher numbers in Inverclyde schools.

Not withstanding the fact that the Lib Dems are telling us that public expenditure will have to be cut, as we all know Education is a devolved matter and therefore any decisions on teacher numbers will be made by the Scottish Government and individual Councils.

If the Lib Dem candidate is interested in influencing education policy in Scotland he is clearly standing at the wrong election.
