He's in the money ...


So, "Grampian Credit Union welcomed its 3,000th member at the weekend, none other than the first minister. Alex Salmond joined staff at their premises in Belgrave Terrace, Aberdeen, on Saturday. On joining the credit union, Mr Salmond, said: "Credit unions play an important role in our communities."

Given that the First Minister is raking in well over £100K a year between his MP, MSP and Ministerial salaries, not to mention the automatic pension when he stands down from Ministerial office, does he really need to join a credit union?

Perhaps he is looking for the best rate of interest for his not unsubstantial savings? And this is one Union that Mr Salmond seems happy to support.
