Scotland v Italy and the PC Brigade
Posted: Wed Nov 14, 2007 8:07 pm'Strip For Scotland' is the campaign to raise money for kids charity (Cash For Kids)
The notion is that you pay £1 to charity and you get to wear your Scotland 'strip' (see what those clever marketing people have done there .....
) or any other form of Scottish regalia, to your work on Friday. Lots of workplaces are signed up for it.
Anyway one school in South Lanarkshire decided to get in on the act, pupils all agreed, teachers all agreed, Head Teacher agreed, money set to be raised.
South Lanarkshire Council then put the kybosh on the whole thing as it was not politically correct and sent out the wrong message.
I'm hoping the head of the council is a Mr Fabrizzio Italianelli, and he is indeed having a laugh.............. tell me that's what's happening, please!
