Hamish Macdonell - Knowledge of economics?
DAVID Parker, the leader of Borders Council, is showing a worrying lack of financial knowledge.
This is what he said, partly to justify the probable loss of 75 jobs in the council because of the straitened economic times.
"If I’d stood up last year when we announced the budget and said that within 12 months our country would be bankrupt, the Royal Bank of Scotland would be privatised ... you would have thought I’d been drinking the funny stuff."
The Royal Bank of Scotland privatised? From where I sit that's progress. Keep drinking the funny stuff David.
