He's A Fire Starter.

Is it just Mr Smith or were the comments last week by new Scottish Labour Leader Iain Gray in his first First Minister's Questions in relation to the demise of HBOS rather intemperate?

Suggesting that speculators, whom Mr Gray thought brought down HBOS, deserved to be heading to "the fire" seemed more worthy of a middle eastern totalitarian regime rather than an allegedly enlightened western democracy.

Here's hoping Mr Gray learns how to tone it down a bit, or we might just find that we have ended up with a religious fundamentalist in sheep's clothing.
