... specifically to cardiac units, after I agreed with Transport Minister Stewart Stevenson - for once!The Scotsman reports:
The Scottish Government has signalled it might support more tram lines in Edinburgh, despite having made a failed attempt to scrap the current scheme. Stewart Stevenson, the transport minister, told The Scotsman there was "logic" in expanding the network, because additional lines would cost less per mile than the initial route.My comment:
I would have to commend Stewart Stevenson for taking this position. He’s absolutely right about the “bang for the buck” for phases 1b, 2 and 3. I certainly wouldn't consider this to be a U-turn. It strikes me as a pragmatic and sensible decision, taken in light of the key facts.So, if you’re still breathing, you might like to consider bookmarking this post. Past experience suggests that such approval is unlikely to reoccur for quite some time!
Did he and a couple of others not cuff a Westminster team in University Challenge?
Quality.
It was a Welsh Assembly team. They're all just "foreigners" to you, eh Conan? ;-)
Aye, they beat a Welsh Assembly team, but who was last in the competition? :)))
Ah, you're alluding to The Times newspaper thrashing a team of MPs. Well, they did have Lembit Öpik on their team... enough said.
