LABOUR councillors have been accused of continually engaging in “childlike hypocrisy” after derailing a meeting by complaining about an SNP member displaying a Yes flag.
The Labour group on Renfrewshire Council interrupted the full council agenda last week to ask the SNP’s Kenny MacLaren to take down a Saltire with the word “Yes” on it which was hanging up behind him as he dialled in from home.
It now turns out the Labour group displayed a Union flag in the window of their council offices five years ago, a few years after ordering the then opposition SNP group to take down a Saltire in the same window while Labour were in administration.
