McNeil Condemns Neds’ Champion Aitken
Condemning the confirmation from Tory Chief Whip, Bill Aitken, that Conservative MSPs will vote to remove dispersal powers from the Antisocial Behaviour etc. (Scotland) Bill, MSP for Greenock and Inverclyde, Duncan McNeil, said:

“I would never have had Bill down as a Neds’ Champion, but it just shows you, when there’s a chance of scoring a political point, there are no depths to which the Tories will not stoop.  And playing politics with the lives of decent, hardworking communities is about as low as you can get.”
