Attention obviously now swings toward 85 year old Bob Jackson, who took the now famous picture of the Oswald assassination.

And while I'm in rage mode... Here is her interim replacement (again) Jackson Carlaw: This is what happens when Flash Gordon takes to drink and pies. He might be an overblown self important prig, but at least he's funny. Sturgeon's booted him around the Scottish Parliament chamber too.

I've just watched Newsnight and earlier the Scottish news and you would honestly think Ruth Davidson was competent or something. Look, at the risk of being labelled an unreconstructed misogynist, she's just like a whole lot of women out there who want a well-paying full time job and a full time child. And basically she's found she can't have both, so she's fucked off. After taking the full whack of maternity leave, let's add. Never mind her party's policies which are forcing the people under her party's charge to find jobs and raise several kids and try and get by without losing the house - summat old Ruth need never worry about. Meantime, giving credit to Jolly Hockey Sticks for the Tories' fortunes in Scotland is overplaying the ball. Let's review those reasons: 1. Labour fucked up big time a long time ago and continue to do so. And they had to for Red Scotland to turn their faces and their votes away from them. Corrupt Councils, PFI, threatening huge Council Tax increases and closing hospitals while all the time implementing London's diktats rather than what was best for Scotland led to a complete collapse in their base. They've rarely recovered. 2. Long term SNP Government. There's no doubt that the SNP's constant blaming of cuts to their budget in Austerity Britain rankles after a while with Scots who believe in thrift, making do and soldiering on. Add to that the debacle of Farm Subsidy payments not reaching farmers in time. Increasing centralisation of power to the Central Belt - what have they actually done for the more rural areas? Add in the glorious promises of fishing rights and money coming to farmers once Brexit is through - promises which, if Gove and Johnson are to be believed, are about to turn to ashes. 3. Lib Dems - Alastair Carmichael's lies and Willie Rennie - 'nuff said. 4. A willingness on the part of Scots to vote Green more often as a protest vote rather than the two main parties. I defy anyone, anybody at all to find a Scottish First Minister's Questions where Ruth Davidson landed any particular blow at all. I'd be surprised if, when her kid slid out of her, that child didn't remark on the amount of boot marks covering Davidson's arse. And Davidson changed her mind on policy so often. "Give the kids more exams!" she cried. Oh, it's unpopular. "You are examining the kids too much!" she declaimed. "The Scottish Police will have to be the only force in the UK to pay VAT!" she exhaled. What's that, London's changed it's mind because they got some MPS? "My idea, totally take them out of VAT!" she stormed. I could go on. But it's all there. She got lucky during a period and you have never seen anyone so wrong about EVERYTHING look so fucking smug. The Tories have essentially always been ruthless. And now they are Ruth-less too. BYE!!!

If Randy Romero fails to obit, let this be a salutary lesson to players not to pick people with first names that end with a "Y" and second names that end with an "O". Remember Lindy Remigino? If he does obit, there will be no pattern and no lesson learned. But I like the idea of it!

Having been out for most of today and popping on here, I have to say Sheila's death hits hard. If you recall that she was probably one of the finest comedic and straight actresses of her time, it is difficult to get away from her most starring roles on TV, the aforementioned Ghosts of Motley Hall, her voice of Wellington in The Perishers, and a foil for Bernard Cribbins, Spike Milligan and Frankie Howerd among others. She is also the second death from Never Too Young To Rock after Freddie Jones, the vid of which I have already posted upon his death. Probably only second to Josephine Tewson as a female "Straight Man" to comedy legends. I am, quite simply, devastated. RIP.
