Now I'm pretty sure that the near 1000 of you who read yesterday's blog post on BBC Scotland and their selective fact presentation, with regard to their wonderful choice of photographs , will hopefully have forgiven me from keeping you from the great sunny outdoors for a few moments. By close of play I had presumed that the Beeb would do absolutely nothing about their immoral manipulation of news and images.
Well blimey O'Reilly did I get that wrong. A mere couple of moments ago I swung by their website to see if our state broadcaster had covered any of Labour's latest shenanigans about using public money for electioneering, only to discover this new image:
Now apart from the dubious quality of the photographs, I mean poor Bella and those shadows, really! I have to say it strikes me as odd that we now have in counter - clockwise fashion;
Ms Goldie with a pained attempt at smiling in strong sunlight.
The Tartan Overlord caught mid guffaw.
The Young Lochinver doing his best ginger eagle impersonation.
And toppermost.
First Minister-in-waiting, man of gravitas, future House of Lords benchwarmer, Iain Gray. This photograph has Mr Gray looking like the serious man for serious times statesman-like overachiever his small but loyal band of followers would have us believe he is.
Having him stand under the gaze of ace Kit Kat eater, the late Gannet on the Granite, Donald Dewar, actually diminishes Dewar's role as Glasgow's chief traffic cone repositary.
Now I kant make an expert critique of judgement, as Europe's smallest philosopher might have, had he ever witnessed the machinations of Labour's artful work in Scotland. However, I will say this, our very ain state broadcaster really needs to be more mindful of their own metaphysics of morals.
Ohh and here's a more likely shot of Mr Gray that won't make it on to the state broadcasters website....
