SCOTLAND: Class warriors

Wednesday, June 6, 2001 - 10:00

The Scottish Socialist Party office in Glasgow has been inundated with
requests from teachers for campaign packs for school pupils holding mock
elections.

One teacher phoning from a school in the Gorbals told the party that
she has been unable to persuade any of her pupils to represent any party
other than the Scottish Socialist Party.

Another teacher, from an Aberdeen school, commented: “It's funny, Tommy
Sheridan is the only politician that the kids have heard of.”

It seems the SSP is the only party with cred in the classroom.
