Spin ... spin .... spin.


Mr Smith reads in PR WEEK that Brian Lironi, the former media adviser to Scottish Labour Leader Wendy Alexander MSP has got a new job working for the Leader of Glasgow City Council. But hang on .... didn't the previous incumbent of that post, Matthew Marr, go to work for Wendy Alexander following Mr Lironi's departure under a cloud, only to have to resign himself last week after he called First Minister Alex Salmond a rather derogatory name at the Scottish Politician of the Year Awards?

And there are still people who wonder why political communications is so often classed as "spin"? That is just people moving from one job to the next and passing each other in the process. Makes you wonder where Mr Marr will pop-up next.

Mr Smith is getting dizzy ....
