A LABOUR-RUN Scottish council spent money put away for children’s toys to promote the King’s coronation, The National can reveal.
Announcing the local authority’s budget in February this year, Day announced cuts of nearly £80 million in the council’s spending. In its promotion of the coronation, city officials also spent £192.76 in cash from the council library budget’s promotion and toy fund for “materials to mark the coronation”.
“To think that any councillor worth their salt, regardless of your views on the monarchy, would take money from a kids toy fund to help promote the coronation is beyond belief.“You couldn’t miss the coronation unless you kept your TV turned off all day, so who thought it was a good idea to raid school budgets also?
