Macho, macho man.


Mr Smith notes the political predilection being encouraged by world leaders like Russian President, Vladimir Putin, and French President, Nicolas Sarkozy, to win friends and influence people by losing their shirts.

He is however of the view that such a phenomenon could and should never catch on in Scotland: firstly, because, we are used to "shirts off" being a regular feature of the terraces at international football matches; secondly, because, Scotsmen wear vests; and thirdly because we have political leaders like ... Wendy Alexander ... Annabel Goldie ... Nicol Stephen ... and Alex Salmond .... ughhhhh!

It's enough to send shivers down your spine.
