He got an excellent review on Newsnight Scotland. Sounds like a first class chap.
A Grade A chap indeed.
Poet, watch out! The men in white coats are coming to get you!
Rab A latent Homosexual, I believe, but why has he hired a spin doctor. Curiouser and curiouser!
DL is Levy & McRea minding him?
The same Peter Watson who served the shut ups re the Sherrif in Aberdeen.
The same practice that still bears the name of a dead nationalist lawyer!!
INCOMING!!!!! Yes I belive they are. They seem to be the Lawers to the 'stars'. He's been in a drug and drink rehab clinic over the weekend, so we don't kinow if it's the bevvy or the crack cocaine!
It was Willie McRae some 20 odd years ago so aybe you were too young then?
Willie MacRae (May 18, 1923 – April 7, 1985) was a Scottish nationalist politician and lawyer, best remembered for the mystery surrounding his death.
MacRae was an active member of the Scottish National Party (SNP) and an anti-nuclear campaigner.[1] A qualified solicitor, MacRae had in fact contested the SNP leadership in 1979, coming third in a three-way contest with 52 votes to Stephen Maxwell's 117 votes and winner Gordon Wilson's 530 votes.[2]
He was active outside Scotland too, having served in the Royal Indian Navy and becoming friendly to the campaign for independence for India.[3] He was also the author of the maritime law code of Israel and emeritus professor at the University of Haifa. After his death a forest of 3,000 trees was planted in Israel to mark his passing.
He died having shot himself in the head and then threw the gun away!
Read the Wikipedia post which I lifted the into.
I just sense this is ironic that the Firm which still bears his name should be used by reptilian upstart Labour.
Bugger, sorry I didn't get what you were on about. Yes I remember the incident, another strange death which was never properly investigated or explained. Sometimes I think I am living in a parrallel universe. How's the weather there?
Pretty shitty today, grey a bit of smirr and only 12 Celsius.
Sunday was braw, sunny and 20 C.
Spring is definitely here and I have a feeling in my waters that a hot summer awaits, Its all that global central heating / warming stuff, unboubtedly.
undoubtedly or indubitably
!
The snow has cleared up in Peebles and Glasgow.
Bugger, sounds good. It's still fucking freezing here in Ayrshire.
quit moaning about the weather.
if you don't like it....resign your job(s), hire a media consultant and head for the sunnier climes of the antipodes.
Works for some.
Anonymous, as soon as I win the Euro Lottery which I belive will be two weeks on Friday, I'll be off!
