Funny Gag


The latest manufactured row to appear in the press - is this nonsense about Tommy Sheridan being 'gagged' on his release from jail.

Now what exactly do people expect - that Tommy should be allowed to act as some kind of B-list celebrity - as soon as he steps out of prison?

For goodness sake he's supposed to be on home leave for a few days - rebuilding his life and spending some time with his family.

Not holding press conferences - and giving media interviews.

More to the point if Tommy starts trotting out the old line that he's innocent - 'infamy, infamy- they've all got it infamy' - then why let him out of jail in the first place.

The early release from prison programme is about people facing up to their responsibilities - and the reasons why they ended up in jail.

If Tommy - whom I quite like by the way - comes out of jail for a weekend proclaiming that he's  some kind of political prisoner - then I say let him serve his full three-year sentence.

Because he will have learned nothing while being locked away.

So I suspect this is all a publicity stunt - a piece of nonsense from first to last - yet another bit of grandstanding which is best ignored.

If you don't - you'll only encourage him, you know.

Now that we're a month away from the month formerly known as June, we can think about what's happened.

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
