Earlston hustings

A hustings with a difference today, at the school in Earlston. The subject was the environment, and the pupils had arranged a really good mix of questions and covered a pretty wide topic comprehensively. As well as some candidates (Jeremy Purvis from the Lib Dems and Chris Ballance from the Greens were there too) there were teachers and a representative from Scottish Borders Council.

It was civilised enough, until the end when Chris blamed Mrs Thatcher for something or other. I can’t remember what, but I do wonder when people will stop blaming her for everything they dislike in the country (after all, isn’t that Tony Blair’s role in life these days?)
