Wendy Alexander: Dead Woman Walking

Scotland’s Untouchables take action!

Whilst everyone is waiting for the fat lady to sing (no, not Jackie Baillie) and Wendy Alexander sits back waiting to be shown the red card as another politician again proves to the electorate that they are lying, deceitful bastards. No matter how well they get on as politicians and how high they rise, there is still yet another bit of sleaze they will use to ensure that they will be kept in the positions of power they crave so much.

After grasping on by her unkempt and well bitten fingernails for two months the news brought to us this morning from the Sunday Herald that the game is now almost up and the procurator fiscal in the Lothian & Borders has had another file dumped on their desk, this time with bendy Wendy’s name stamped in big bold letters on the front.

The man turning out to be Scotland’s own Elliot Ness, the standards commissioner, Dr Jim Dyer has decided to not only send bendy Wendy’s file over to the procurator fiscal but also her colleague and once hopeful successor, former labour health minister, Andy Kerr.

Where hermit Alexander’s story begins to fall apart is the manner in which the Alexander campaign sought to get round the spirit if not the letter of the law on donations by getting benefactors to give either £999 or £950, just under the £1000 threshold of public scrutiny. It is just so bloody devious. Labour’s own walking billboard for obesity, Jackie Baillie, was squirming around on Newsnight Scotland a while ago saying they only wanted to accept small donations, expecting us to believe that if some would-be M’Lud was willing to pay for the title, Team Wendy the Krook, would have sent the donor packing asking them to downgrade the chunk of cash – aye right.

We are told that Alexander was told this on Friday, the same time she came came out with the list of the morally dodgy donations. It was even more interesting when she came forward with the list she never bothered to mention that she was also on another list, that of the procurator fiscal.

As Iain McWhirter says in the Sunday Herald for the sake of Scotland’s democracy the bitch has to go.

Over here in the east, Scotland on Sunday never bothered to write anything about either MSPs having their own procurator fiscal files. Instead, it’s big political scoop this week seems to be that Alex Salmond is in a video on youTube which has been languishing there for just under a year with less that 3,000 views. All of this goes to add to the almost suicidal pro-labour tactics that Scotsman Publications under Johnstone Press seem to be deploying. Interestingly, their hot shot journalism actually managed to put the wrong URL into the story so that their readers could see the completely uninteresting video. For EdSucks readers, here is the correct URL: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=52mm5219_t0.
