Students don’t seem to be too happy about the new name for the merged Fife and Glenrothes colleges, Adam Smith College (irony alert: you can’t study Economics there).
In what may be a unique move the Students Association will not be named after the college.
Instead the economist’s name has been binned in favour of Jennie Lee, the Lochgelly miner’s daughter who became a socialist MP at the age of 24 and was instrumental in setting up the Open University.
Heh!

Anyway, here’s a post from that prime pottymouth, Nosemonkey, who writes about party membership, and particularly Labour Party membership.
I don’t understand party membership either. Even if there was a party out there that I could even agree with more than half the time (unlikely), I don’t like the idea of paying to be told what to think, which is effectively what party membership is. It must be, because they’re all zealots. As Nosemonkey says, how else do you explain Labour membership?
Since MVC closed many months ago, there hasn’t been a single decent music store in Kirkcaldy. But now I’ve just found out that there’s an HMV opening here. That calls for a w00t!
