Mr Smith thinks that the Scottish Government's Cabinet Secretary for Justice, Kenny MacAskill MSP, is fast becoming the John Prescott of Scottish politics, not so much because of the "mis-speaks" which JP was famous for, but more because of the "mis-intellectualisations" which Mr Secretary is committing with increasing regularity. The latest of these are his comments in relation to new laws related to so called "kerb crawling."
The Minister peppered a whole series of interviews with the expression that kerb crawling "wasn't tourism ... it's exploitation." Now Mr Smith is pretty certain that no-one has ever defended kerb crawling because it helps tourism, so he wonders how exactly this thought came to lodge itself in the Minister's mind, let alone why he then thought it appropriate to repeat the point ... over and over again.
Mr Smith thinks the the Minister should go and lie down for a while, as should his PR advisers.
