Wings Over Scotland

Dog finds bone

Posted on January 09, 2012 by Rev. Stuart Campbell

We don't often have anything nice to say about Kevin McKenna, but this lovely passage from his weekend Observer column deserves credit:

"Last week, the [SNP]'s formidable organiser, Angus Robertson, could scarcely keep the glee out of his voice as he once more displayed his pride and joy: the IT system that reveals to the SNP exactly where each of their supporters lives and, very possibly, the elasticity quotient of their foundation garments.

Even if Labour were to take delivery of a similar model tomorrow, it would take them half a political generation to feed in sufficient data from which to draw reliable conclusions. Even then, glancing along Labour's frontbench, you could never be confident that some of them would not simply throw their dirty washing into it and look for the 'on' switch."

Nice work, Kev. We'll make a writer out of you yet.
