Yesterday's Berwickshire has a frontpage story about the closing of the Hutton and Burnmouth primary school after the Scottish Executive had finally and very belatedly confirmed the decision taken months ago by the Scottish Borders Council. Amongst those prominent personalities asked to comment on this sad closure was the local laird and MSP for East Lothian. A bloggee has asked the significance of the Laird's comment that it was a pity that the (Hutton school) parents 'did not get wholehearted support from key members of the community council'
Search me, mate. Huttonian is enjoying a self denying ordinance on avoiding rants about the Community Council so all he will say is that this sounds like a load of elderly cobblers to him-the CC's position has been one of consistent opposition to the closing of the school as any intelligent follower of the councils proceedings will testify. So why did the tribune of the people of East Lothian make this remark? Search me again, love. I am not sure that he is much of a fan of the CC -he certainly has not darkened its doors for a long time and it may be that he is irritated it with it for reasons quite unconnected to the school closure issue. But don't ask me dear bloggee.Ask him and all may become clear. Or not, as the case may be.
