Labour’s top brass hates us Scots and our country
Posted on January 20, 2008 | 2 CommentsTory Bliar's former Director of Political Operations who supposedly provided political management and support for the development of the Government's political strategy has once again gotten himself the crap - not bad three times in 12 months. One of John McTernan's previous emails surfaced recently because of a Freedom of Information request and it turns out that we Scots are not exactly his cup of tea. Maybe that was why when called upon by the Labour Party to do stuff in Scotland he has been a miserable failure.
