Besuited Pigeon

 No one is spared from Rankie Boyle's dark, sardonic within this conference roundup from The Guardian.

 I particularly enjoyed the image Frankie conjures up of a dog signing the 'Camptown Races' as a metaphor for the new listening politics espoused by Jeremy Corbyn whom he describes as having the general air of a pigeon that has inherited a suit.

 Remarkably, there are even pictures of such things on the internet - pigeons in suits that is, not Jeremy Corbyn.

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'.
