Can you just imagine Dougie asking for a reduction in his council tax, or cash off at the pumps, or a cheaper service or asking the council to reduce licence fees rather than hiking them as they do.
What will it take for Dougie to understand that it is only by walking away does the incentive to reduce prices happen.
If he wants a reduction, only market forces can deliver it.
The alternative is the restriction of the status quo, which will resist cutting drivers a fair deal to the very end.
To paraphrase Eddie Turnbull speaking of the recently deceased Easter Road legend Alan Gordon - Aw Dougie's brains are in his maister's heid
