The Egg Man



The chap who pelted the Labour leader, Ed Miliband, with eggs the other day may have a good aim - but his political views are all over the place.

 Dean Porter (38) is reported to have unleashed his volley of six eggs  for the following reasons:

 1 The Iraq War
2 Homelessness
3 Anger at the banks
4 A sense of grievance that Ed beat his brother David in the 2010 Labour leadership election 

 Now that covers a whole lot of ground, politically speaking, and I'm not sure that Ed can be held to blame directly for any of them - other than using his trade union chums and undemocratic union votes - to overturn the will of individual party members in the Labour leadership race.

 So, it seems to me that Dean Porter is a complete plonker and I'm only sorry that Ed didn't give him a well deserved left hook to the chin - in the style of John Prescott some years ago when Two Jags was similarly attacked by some long-haired, egg wielding yob - while out on the campaign trail.

 If you ask me that was probably the highlight of John Prescott's political career, so useless was he in other areas - and it would have done Ed's geeky image a power of good to give some High Street bully a taste of his own medicine.

 Apparently Ed asked the Police not to press charges against the egg-pelting Dean, but for the life of me I can't see why - people who behave in that kind of anti-social way will only be encouraged if they walk away Scot-free.

 And that's why John Prescott's assailant would think twice before doing the same thing again.

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

Image
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'.
