Any honour? Left?


"A defiant Charlie Gordon made clear last night that he would not be resigning as an MSP, dismissing breaches of the electoral law as no more than "a fuss". The former Glasgow Council leader also defended his conduct in civic life as he implied that his past performance in the city was now being used against him."

No .... really?

Not Mr Gordon .... who in 2007 solicited a donation from a businessman he had previously nominated for an honour, despite being allegedly advised two years before that a previous attempt to obtain a donation from the same person would breach the law, which it then did, refusing to resign from his post as an MSP, carrying a salary of £60K per annum. It would never happen in Scotland. Never. Never.

The Alexander camp seem to believe that all they have to do is huncker down and in four years at the next election everyone in Scotland will have forgotten ... they underestimate the Scottish voter. What about honour?
