Thats 'news' from 5 days ago, that has been dropped like a hot potato due to it being entirely un-newsworthy! Whats your point caller? Not that you ever had one before!

Well, I wanted to post it on Monday. And why should it be dropped? Because, even without the matter of the First Minister using such politic terms as "spivs and speculators" and on form as apoplectic and personally abusive, or it shows Salmond in a less than favourable light as having been perfectly happy to work with the same practice. Just like HBoS.

(So, in that respect, it was un-newsworthy.)

Dream on! He's like a kid who's eaten too much cake and is now crying because his tummy hurts. I've watched him hound Alexander. Makes you wonder why people are reluctant to cut him slack.

My guess is that until now, his concern for such spivving and speculating has been somewhere between nil and almost nil.
