Fibs play politics with road safety
Another example of FibDem double standards and abuse of power.
The Moray by-election. Was it shear concidence on the day that Tavish Scott, LibDem Transport Minister, was making a visit north that the other parties' posters were removed by the trunk road authority? Was it also a coincidence that the previous rules which allowed them to be displayed along trunk roads had been mysteriously changed by order of the Executive?
Tavish didn't think so and sniffily told the Press & Journal: "Road safety is not something we play politics with."
Really?
Is that why the Fibs then went on to illegally put posters along the verge of the A96?
