And finally for your weekend delectation, enjoy THIS colourful Telegraph profile of our own dear Guido Fawkes. While he gets the celebrity treatment, I will get my coat and toddle off to the BBC News Channel for the paper review at 10.50 and 11.20!

Brian Taylor always has an interesting take on Scottish politics, but he missed the fact that the SNP stole their new election slogan from McDonald's.

I have been laughing at the Letters From a Tory post all day.

This does go a little beyond the 'unfortunate'. It leads to allegations of serious misconduct, and suggests long-term thinking. Well, either that or incredible nativity and ignorance.

That video is astonishing. Some of the other Six to Fix clips are gems as well. Look for Lloyd, he's my particular favourite, with the posh bloke getting angry that there are only two people from ethnic minorities in the council newsletter running a close second.

I misread the the new SNP slogan at first - I thought it said "We take all you've got".

Then again - perhaps I didn't.

Oh, man, that video is mint! Seen it on loads of other blogs as well!!

I've got a confession to make: I once roomed with Alan, at the NUS Conference in Blackpool ten years ago, back when he was a plain old UCL hack (as was I) and not an international (c)rap-star superstar!!!

Lmfao! :)
