Respect!


Lee Jasper is now a Respect Party activist, but he used to be an adviser to Ken Livingstone - the former London Mayor.

If I remember correctly, Lee left the Mayor's office under something of a cloud and I have heard much about him recently - until his name popped up in connection with the attempted armed mugging of Tony Blair's daughter, Kathryn, on a London street.

As news of the incident broke, Lee tweeted:

"Quoting one of me heroes I say 'Chickens coming home to roost' #ViolenceBegetsViolence".

Now the papers say the tweet is a reference to the statement from Muslim minister and human rights activist - Malcolm X - after the assassination of John F Kennedy in November 1963.

Malcolm X was, of course, himself murdered some years later - as the result of a violent feud between rival members of the Nation of Islam. 

Apparently, Kathryn Blair (25) was walking her dog with a group of friends and her boyfriend near her home when she came face to face with two men - one armed with a gun - who demanded cash and jewellery before fleeing empty-handed.

Now I'm not quite sure what point Lee was making in relation to Kathryn Blair, JFK or indeed Malcolm X - but with all due respect he's clearly not the brightest button in the box.

SNP - Conspiracy of Silence

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
