Scotland's National Poseur

What's the point in wearing a face mask when you're posing, book-in-hand, for a socially distanced photographer?

I mean, there was no need for all this palaver during the Euro football finals.

   

Scotland's National Poseur (July 24, 2021)

After a hard week at the office you'd think Nicola Sturgeon would have better things to do than stage manage yet another photo opportunity.

But the FM is 'on manoeuvres' 24/7, as in this shot with a carefully chosen book, glass of wine (not too much though) and a stylish pair of Ray Bans which somehow managed to find their way in to the foreground.

Must be very tiring living your life as one big photo opportunity!

Less Posing - More Serious Politics (July 06, 2021)


If I might be so bold, my advice to Nicola Sturgeon is to have far less posing for the cameras combined with a more serious politics which focus on running the country - instead of ruthlessly promoting herself and the SNP.

Nicola Sturgeon's attention-seeking antics during the Euro football finals suggest another meaning for the acronym SNP - Scotland's National Poseur.

"Now where did I leave that poker?", was my first reaction.

Another thought that struck me is why travel for an audience with the Queen - was this really 'essential business' or just another silly photo opportunity?

The business of polishing Nicola Sturgeon's image is a 24/7 operation - I wonder what silly antics we can look forward to ahead of tomorrow's England v Scotland match?

Nicola Sturgeon seems to think these big sporting events are about her, the Scottish Government and/or the SNP.

Mind you what another stroke of good fortune to have a snapper on hand to capture the moment for posterity!  

 

Lucky Snaps (June 15, 2021)

How fortunate there was a photographer passing at just the the right time to capture this spontaneous snap of the First Minister glued to Scotland vs Czech Republic in the Euro Finals. 

Next thing they'll be telling us is Nicola really enjoys watching football.

Kentucky Fried Seagull

Hugh Fearnley Whitingstall is one of my favourite - and endearingly bonkers - TV chefs. The River Cottage chef has a some imaginative ideas for adding seagulls to the national diet - including a recipe for Kentucky Fried Seagull - would you believe. Here's what HFW has to say on the subjecy -  I think I'll contact Hugh - and ask if he'll join the TAPAS campaign. "Vermin with wings? Chicken of the sea? Or just an opportunity missed?" "First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
