« From Under the Platform | Main | A constructive agenda »

No defence
Nobody has yet answered the questions about this minute of the MLA board meeting last Autumn
1. Is this an appropriate discussion for the Board of a National Non Departmental Government Body sponsored by the Department of Culture Media and Sport?
2. To whom does it refer, who was discussed and what was said about them?
3. Are the senior parties fit to hold the high public office to which they have been appointed?
"Andrew Motion outlined the constructive meeting he and Roy Clare had with Lyn Brown MP, and looked forward to her follow up visit to the MLA’s Birmingham offices in January. Andrew Motion admired Lyn Brown’s passionate support for libraries, and while the MLA might differ with her on some issues he felt there was scope to reduce any misunderstandings and find some common ground. The same could not always be said for some of the sector’s most vociferous self-appointed critics, and the MLA was keen not to give a platform to those without a constructive agenda."
