Russia's Strong Man Speaks Out

I heard on the news earlier today that Russian Prime Minister - Valdimir Putin - is to give a 'no-holds-barred' interview.

One that will grapple with the real issues facing his great country - instead of being a puff or a put-up job organised by United Russia and the PM's fan club.

I'll believe it when I see it - for example, will experienced journalists from outside of  Russia be allowed to take part - in the great event?

If not - then expect a series of questions along the following lines:

1 What's the capital of Russia?

2 Do you like spicy food?

3 Who is your favourite Russian oligarch?

4 Are you in favour of world peace - and a kinder, gentler form of capitalism?

5 Is Boris Yeltsin really a good dancer?

6 Have you missed being Russia's President and how big a majority do you expect in next year's election?

7 Do you think you will be an even better President when you are elected for a third term of office?

Remember - you heard it hear first.

And if I die from radioactive polonium poisoning in the next few months - then draw your own conclusions.

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
