Arrest Terry Wogan!

Jeremy Clarkson had some fun in his regular column for the Sunday Times last week.

The Old Petrolhead poked fun at the 'furore' surrounding his comments on the BBC's The One Show - where he said that workers going on strike over public sector pensions should be lined up and shot - in front of their families.

Now I didn't take this seriously at the time.

But apparently some folks did and they tried to cause an almighty row - that fizzled out after a few days - presumably because it was just plain daft.

Well last week Jeremy Clarkson got his revenge with the following comment in his ST column:

"And it was all ridiculous. During Wimbledon one year I seem to recall that Terry Wogan said he'd like to take a machinegun to all the people on Henman Hill. No one took him seriously, but me, the two-bit  presenter of a poky motoring show on BBC2? Somehow an opinion that wasn't even mine had become the nation's No 1 topic of conversation." 

Now I didn't hear Terry Wogan's comment - but I have no reason to doubt that he made it - and did so with his tongue firmly in his cheek.

So while I don't agree on much with Jeremy Clarkson - I think it's game, set and match to him on this particular occasion. 

And if some people don't agree with that - no doubt they'll launch a big festive campaign - to arrest Terry Wogan.

Now that we're a month away from the month formerly known as June, we can think about what's happened. Given the new events being rolled out in London, Manchester and across the States, I think this sums up the *erm* transition of Pride.

SNP - Conspiracy of Silence

So here's the issue - two Glasgow MSPs (Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf) have been asked a reasonable question about their use of public money to employ two SNP councillors who already have full-time, salaried jobs as senior elected members of Glasgow City Council.   But these two public servants (both long-serving ministers) refuse to answer, so what to do next? One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'. Write to the leader of Glasgow City Council Write to the Chief Executive of Glasgow City Council Write to all elected members in Glasgow City Council Write to the party leaders in Glasgow City Council W
