Colin really needs to haul down the flag on his less/fewer mission. It’s not like he hasn’t got enough other things to complain about, what with the weather they’ve been having. I hope on the other hand that the herd will come to realise that it is not true that the “Chinese man [was] killed…
My thought is that George Galloway supported the ayatollahs but balanced that in this splendid rant, while I guess in Brian Souter’s vision the good/bad labelling is reversed on the scales.

My Autobiography is the one you definitely don’t want. Jimmy the Stretford Porter suffered great glooms in the early Ferguson…
