To Vilify or not to Vilify for that is the question?

It is so interesting to note, another week another storm in a tea cup that has been picked up by Labour and touted by the local media as important as Watergate, our esteemed Deputy First Minister in her position as an MSP for Govan & not as Health Secretary wrote a letter on behalf of a constituent on a matter of the type of sentencing that he could get, stress could. There was no mention of trying to get him off, an action that seems to be implied in each successive attack on Miss Sturgeon.

It should be noted the actions taken by Ms. Sturgeon are similar to an action taken by our esteemed Prime Minister Gordon Brown for one of his constituents, yet this is swept under the carpet.

I especially love how this was the leading article in the UK not just the Scottish news section of the BBC website and this on the same day that MPs were being charged with essentially stealing from the public purse. So much for the impartiality of the BBC as outlined in their charter. We all pay for this service so there shoudl be some way for the local tax payer to hold them to account on this.

Now don't get me wrong, I would have no issue with the SNP being giving a rough time by the press if they were indeed doing things that were to bring the country into disrepute, like illegally invade another country, advocate the use of torture, etc. Strange though that if it was Labour, they seem to ignore it, Me thinks, the glass panes of the Glasgow Quay sited offices of BBC Scotland are covered in red rose tinted glass.
