SNP ‘asleep on job’ over horsemeat scandal | Scottish Politics | Scoop.it
SCOTLAND’S food standards minister, Richard Lochhead, was last night accused of falling “asleep on the job” and failing to show leadership during the horsemeat scandal.

Via Peter A Bell
Scotsfox's insight:

Do Labour want us to have our own "separate" food checking at the border? It was Labour who stopped checking for horsemeat.

Peter A Bell's curator insight, February 10, 5:09 AM

The incredible thing is that contriving this ludicrous "SNP accused!" tale required the efforts of TWO Britnat hacks!

Inaction on press is louder than words

Inaction on press is louder than words | Scottish Politics | Scoop.it
THIS time last Sunday, according to First Minister Alex Salmond, the case for a separate Scottish solution to press regulation was “unarguable”.

Peter A Bell's comment, December 9, 2012 10:51 AM
Does Euan McColm seriously imagine anybody supposes him capable of accurately reporting the position of the First Minister on any matter? Does he actually believe his mindless prejudice has gone unnoticed?

Let's keep this latest bitter little diatribe on file ready for the day his "analysis" is shown to be the fatally biased and woefully ill-informed British nationalist propaganda drivel that we have come to expect from him.

But perhaps we should be cautious here. After all, it is well known that Euan McColm's commitment to freedom of expression does not extend to those who don't share the preposterously high regard in which he holds himself.
