Yesterday, I suggested:
If it wasn’t the Aberdeenshire school it was the Tory council that instructed or allowed the photographers to offer parents ‘selective’ class photos
Today BBC Scotland has this:
A photography firm has apologised after parents were offered a choice of whether they wanted class photos with or without pupils with complex needs.
Parents at Aboyne Primary School in Aberdeenshire complained after being sent a link from Tempest Photography. The company said it deeply regretted any upset it had caused and “sincerely apologised” to affected families.
It said it was “not standard procedure” and it was taking the matter very seriously.
and further on:
Aberdeenshire Council has also apologised for the incident.
So, it wasn’t the School, it wasn’t the photographer and the Council has apologised.
Why is the Council apologising rather than just regretting?
Is that because they approved a contract that at the very least allowed the practice?
BBC Scotland go on to quote the First Minister and a Labour MSP’s disapproval. Why don’t they ask the Council Leader and Education Committee chair at the time, what she has to say?
Here she is again:
She loves to be seen visiting her constituents so where is she now?

BBC Scotland and the unionist parties will have blamed Jenny Gilruth by Sunday.

O/T apologies…..
Torygraph reported “Six Tory advisers have now deserted Rishi Sunak for Keir Starmer”
Saw this tweet online as in a reaction to this news re the Labour party:
“So they’ve got Tory advisors, policies, and even defector MPs. At what point do they just become the Tories”.
“become the Tories”…that ship sailed a long time ago surely ?
And this comes on the back of Starmer being asked “if he was a Tory in disguise”
“In disguise”….hardly….blatantly obvious and ‘out in the open’ more like….
Labour MP & Shadow Cabinet member David Lammy described TORY ex PM Margaret Thatcher as “visionary”…..Oh aye what a “visionary” she was alas her ‘visions’ did much to destroy the Industries that employed workers in her UK that then decimated those respective areas…..and same kind of workers that Starmer now says (pretends) that his party, Labour, represents…… as in Labour being the “party for working people” (while he, Starmer, is wooing former Tory donors and business leaders to his Labour party)….indeed Starmer himself praised Thatcher….in stating “Margaret Thatcher sought to drag Britain out of its stupor by setting loose our natural entrepreneurialism,”……and she also used Scotland as a UK Guinea pig for the infamous Poll tax……so what’s to admire about her or indeed ever praise her for anywhere in the UK…… apart from those parts that greatly benefitted from her Tory premiership as in the parts (London & South east) that needed no more help?
The signs are all there….the media in Scotland are desperate to “disguise” this fact as they are way too focused on shielding Sarwar from his HQ’s ‘leader’s’ questionable rhetoric and planned (not so) new policies (to include keeping some of the previous Tory policies and actions alive and kicking)…….and God forbid they, the media here , will highlight ,as in over emphasise, (or even mention) the fact that Labour are a Pro Brexit party………same Brexit Scotland, via all regions in Scotland, voted against.
I wonder if this Labour party and their , so called (media hoped for ) resurgence in Scotland, will include voters here being fully informed and up to date on what New New Labour really are and represent as a political party….as in not finding the actual current state of play re New New Labour in the ‘news’ where they (supposedly) are…….I fail to see how Scotland, regarded in the UK as more socialist inclined, would not have made a Labour resurgence for them, Labour, under the Corbyn leadership yet we are expected to believe that under a Starmer led Labour leadership that somehow Scotland will embrace and welcome a pound shop Tory party aka the Labour party with a Tory carbon copy Leader as in Sir Keir Starmer….yes I know we all want the Tories removed from power….but really do we want to replace them with another Tory party…..surely not.
Plus who , In Scotland, should care which Tory party (over) rule in their UK….as our only real objective is to escape from Tory politics and their Tory friendly media (red & blue ones)…..
