'Hot Pants' Blatter (04/06/11)


I find it hard to stop thinking and writing about Captain Sepp Blatter (75 ) and his good ship the SS FIFA.

At the FIFA congress in Zurich last week after he had been re-elected for a fourth term as President, Captain Blatter, thinking on his feet, asked delegates if they would like a 'woman' on the FIFA executive committee.

Now I haven't even bothered to check, but I presume this was because there were no women elected to the FIFA executive committee in their own right at the 2011 congress.

So, having a token woman co-opted on to the executive committee would presumably make FIFA look good or better in some people's eyes at least.

"Not a decision, just a suggestion, what do you think?", Captain Blatter enquired of  the assembled delegates.

And to their collective shame many of them started to clap and applaud his barmy idea.

A token woman, bolted on as a complete afterthought to the the World Footballing  organisation just what the game needs. 

Now Captain Blatter has form in this area when asked before about encouraging greater interest in women's football, he suggested that women players should wear 'tighter shorts'.

Creepy or what?

Now that we're a month away from the month formerly known as June, we can think about what's happened.

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'. 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
