Scottish politics tonight

I so miss Not the Nine O’Clock News.

On hearing the news, my first thought was this sketch

All the rats are out saying what a great guy he was. But while he lived they loathed him with a passion attacked him + demeaned our whole nation .I bet many in the upcoming court case will be smiling their arses off due to his passing

Good lord, Rowan Atkinson looks so young in this. Late 1970s?

Two hours before Eck's death was announced today, someone who had been in his company in recent months mentioned a few things to us, including that he would refer to A. Robertson as "fud" in conversation. Salmond knew the script.

Yup. I cannot bring myself to pay tribute to Salmond as I never liked him. On the plus side it may be the end of the Alba lunatics (that don’t live in Scotland) who grifted off his recent leadership.

Yep, listening to Sturgen today made me want to vomit

Mel Smith was brilliant.

@JAHeale How true!

The late great Mel Smith.
