Hello, hello.


ATTICUS also says "Lothian and Borders' finest unwittingly landed a big fish when conducting random checks on drivers in Edinburgh city centre this week. Asked if he owned his vehicle, had a driving licence or had been drinking was none other than Kenny MacAskill, the justice secretary. "They were very polite, "the abstemious minister told Atticus. "I think in the end they were beginning to recognise me." And unlike those rozzers at Wembley in 19999, they didn't lock me up on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly, he might have added."

They were probably too grateful to him for giving them their full pay increase this year not to let him go on his way. But the Minister really should have been taking the bus to cut down on his carbon emissions.
