Unparliamentary language.


Mr Smith highlights that the arrival of the "new politics" in Scotland has been accompanied by a commensurate reduction in the standard and quality of political insults on the part of First Minister Alex Salmond who has variously refered to: PM Gordon Brown as a "feartie" for not calling a General Election; and labelling former Sun Editor Kevin McKenzie as a "tube."

Very unparliamentary language which will probably not go down too well with the Scottish Parliament's Old Etonian Presiding Officer Alex Fergusson should Oor Alex choose to use the phrases in the Holyrood Chamber.
