http://robgibsonmsp.blogspot.com/2010/12/looking-back-over-2010.html
Friday, 31 December 2010. Looking back over 2010. Some extra challenges have been set us.

http://robgibsonmsp.blogspot.com/2010/12/yearly-review-2010.html
Tuesday, 21 December 2010. From Rob Gibson SNP MSP highlands and Islands. It came in with a blast of winter and its going out with another whiteout. Our public services and neighbourly behaviour in the North can cope. We'll keep our heads as long as we can keep our feet! At Scottish level the SNP Government received. Deep cuts in funds.
