The Chosen One


I enjoyed this piece in Private Eye, the UK's best and only fortnightly satirical magazine, which draws a parallel between Ed Miliband, the Labour leader, and David Moyes, the former Manchester United boss.

 KNIVES OUT FOR REDS BOSS

 by Jeremy Axeman

 After a series of lacklustre performances the man in charge of the legendary Red Devils, the so-called "Badly Chosen One", is in trouble.

 Red Ed Miliband, the successor to the famous Scottish winner of the treble, Sir Tony Blair, looks in danger of losing his job.

 There are rumours that the famous "Class of 1997" will be called back to take over the running of the team, including such legendary names as Straw, Campbell, Mandelson and David Beckham.

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'.
