SNP - Impressive First

The Times reports an SNP first with news that disgraced former SNP MP, Margaret Ferrier, has managed to unite the Catholic Church and Democratic Unionist Party in condemnation of her reckless rule-breaking after testing positive for Covid.

Nicola Sturgeon believes calls for a “fit and proper” person test for footballers should be considered.

The First Minister was asked about the issue in the wake of footballer David Goodwillie, who was found to have raped a woman by a civil court, signing for Raith Rovers.

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.
