He will have got his share of the £2.4 million the LibDems got from the fraudster Robert Brown who got the money from the £10million he stole from the chairman of Manchester United. Actually Alex Salmond should have stuck to his guns. Taking donations for lunches with party leaders has been going on for decades and there is nothing remotely wrong about it. Does anyone remember the Red Rose Dinners that Labour organised at which people paid four figure sums to attend dinners with Jack McConnell when he was First Minister? The most memorable aspect of these was the number of crooks and drug dealers who came along. I am not alone in getting sickened by the attempts of the press to distort everything the SNP does and fill up their front pages with this absolute nonsense. Meanwhile a million are dead in Haiti, the Chilcot Inquiry is establishing the facts about an illegal war that has bombed Iraq back to the middle ages and killed hundreds of thousands of innocent women and children, three Labour MPS are being put in the dock for wholesale theft of public money and our Scottish newspapers are making a big deal out of generous voluntary donations to the SNP. I wonder why. He doesn’t need to. He will have got his share of the £2.4 million the LibDems got from the fraudster Robert Brown who got the money from the £10million he stole from the chairman of Manchester United.

I have a smashing photograph of Alan Reid standing in front to a Post Office to support a press relaease about defending Post Offices (when his party is actually in favour of part privatisation of the Royal Mail). The sign behid him says "CLOSED" If he actually writes the letters…..indeed.
