Look On The Bright Side
Labour's Scottish leader - Iain Gray - was ambushed earlier today and forced to beat a hasty retreat from an election campaign event - at Central Station in Glasgow.
A small group of 'anti-cuts' protesters confronted the Labour leader - demanding a commitment from Iain Gray that spending cuts will not be implemented - if he goes on to become Scotland's next First Minister.
Now that's the problem about sending out mixed messages to people.
The Labour party is pretending that they would pursue a radically different agenda from the UK coalition government - but that simply isn't true.
A spokesperson for the 'anti cuts' group - Citizens United Against Public Sector Cuts - said:
"Nine of us went there this morning to ambush Iain Gray to talk to him about massive cuts that are being implemented. He ran away into a cafe and I chased him - we only wanted to talk to him. We don't want Labour to just manage the cuts."
Apparently the protesters followed the Labour leader and his entourage out of the station and into a nearby Subway sandwich shop.
But look on the bright side.
At least they recognised him - and didn't mistake the Labour leader - for Eamonn Holmes's dad.
