This morning's story of Harris Tweed Hebrides 'de-Scottishifying' themselves was either an evil genius stroke of marketing or a deliberate attempt to disembowel Scotland with a grovelling attempt to distance themselves from the Megrahi decision and the now overwhelming number of people who support Kenny MacAskill's decision to release Megrahi to die with his family. If latest reports are true it sounds as if Megrahi has got days rather than the year, that the Labour party and their friends in the Scottish media have been pedalling.
However, I digress, as usual, what annoyed me most about this story other than the lets drop our Tweed breeks bend over and see how much girth we can take from the right wing redneck nut jobs of America was the people involved.
Notably devout anti-devolutionist and former Labour Energy Minister Brian Wilson chairman and majority shareholder of Harris Tweed Hebrides Ltd, Alasdair Morrison former Labour MSP for Eilean Siar, current chairman of MG Alba and director of Harris Tweed Hebrides Ltd, whilst the creative director and professional pretty boy model Mark Hogarth is the fashionista who made the decision to deny their Scottish links was previously employed in London as Brian Wilson's parliamentary assistant.
Such a cozy coterie of lizards...
Mr Hogarth's decision it appears is at odds with his deliberations on Facebook, where he is said to have flipped and flopped about on the Megrahi decision siding with the dribbling mentalism of Labour one moment then agreeing with facebook friends that really Labour are wrong and Scotland has grown up with this decision...
One wonders what the weavers of Lewis and Harris think?
