Fantastic Mr Fox

What can you say about the explanation given by the defence secretary - Liam Fox - over the 'role' played by his close friend - Adam Werritty?

Other than to say it's completely fantastic - Mr Fox.

Now I don't know the fantastic Mr Fox - or his close friend Adam Werritty for that matter - but I do know baloney when I hear it - especially when I've got my trusty bullshit detector turned full-on.

So the suggestion that there's nothing wrong with your friend - who is not a government adviser - following you around the world on 18 out of 48 official government visits - strikes me as a complete load of old tosh.

Even the real Fantastic Mr Fox - wouldn't try to get away with spinning that yarn to the long suffering Mrs Fox - I imagine.

Since Mrs Fox would see through his tall tale - straight away.

No, if I were the Fantastic Mr Fox - the defence secretary Liam Fox - not the George Clooney animated version of course - I'd come clean or just cut to the chase and resign.

Because what you can't do is treat the great British public - like hen-house chickens or stupid farmers.

Which is what the Fantastic Mr Fox is doing - right now.

SNP - Conspiracy of Silence

Image
So here's the issue - two Glasgow MSPs (Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf) have been asked a reasonable question about their use of public money to employ two SNP councillors who already have full-time, salaried jobs as senior elected members of Glasgow City Council.   But these two public servants (both long-serving ministers) refuse to answer, so what to do next? One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'. Write to the leader of Glasgow City Council Write to the Chief Executive of Glasgow City Council Write to all elected members in Glasgow City Council Write to the party leaders in Glasgow City Council W
