Head And Shoulders.

"A FORMER Labour minister has launched a withering attack on his "arrogant" Westminster colleagues whom he accuses of being "resentful and contemptuous" of the Scottish parliament. Tom McCabe, a one-time finance minister who ran Wendy Alexander's campaign to become Labour leader last year, warns his party will be "pushed to the fringes" for "a very long time" if it does not radically reform itself."

Scenario: The average Westminster Labour MP, who is head and shoulders in calibre above the average Labour MSP, being "resentful" of the Scottish Parliament.

Really? Hands up who believes that one.

Er ... Anyone?

You scratch my back.

So the party funding scandal has touched the new Leader of the Scottish Labour Party Wendy Alexander MSP with her campaign manager at the time Tom McCabe MSP admitting that a donation to her campaign from Jersey-based businessman Paul Green was "clearly illegal."

The disclosure also forced the resignation of Labour MSP Charlie Gordon as a party spokesman following revelations that he initiated the donation by approaching Mr Green.

This is really getting ridiculous ... we have politicians tapping wealthy business people for money and we are told that this will result in no expectation of a pay back. There's something rotten in the body politic ... and it stinks to high heaven. But how many more times can Wendy Alexander and her acolytes put their foot in it before they are told to take a hike?
