“You can’t accuse fellow members of killing people'
Will Mylet was scolded by Provost Lorraine Cameron after a lengthy rant in which he claimed the Labour and Conservative parties were “more than happy” to plough cash into nuclear weapons and have “the ability to commit genocide.”
Councillor Mylet, who represents Paisley East and Central, then shifted his focus to Conservative austerity, adding: “This amounts to no more than the murder of the people that you’re here to look after.”chambers, Conservative group leader Neill Graham interjected with a point of order.“You can’t accuse fellow members of killing people.”
The code of conduct for councillors stresses the need for them to respect fellow members and treat them with courtesy. They now intend to raise the matter with the Standards Commission for Scotland — the ethics watchdog for those involved in public life — and write a letter to Provost Cameron to express concerns about management of the meeting.
