AN IDIOTIC PROSECUTION
We have posted little of late as there has been nothing about other than an extraordinary level of political stupidity and our tolerance of politicians is non-existent. There is only so much one can take. That is not to say, however, that this crazy world of ours remains still. Far from it.
We were more than intrigued recently with the case of the two Sussex Police officers who stood trial at Southwark Crown Court on charges of assault upon an elderly resident of a seaside care home who had been threatening care home staff with a serrated knife for a prolonged period until they were forced to call the police. When the police arrived the man was pepper-sprayed, tasered and subdued.
The jury found both officers (a male and a female) unaminously Not Guilty. In our view, that should have been the end of the matter but, no, we are now told that the two officers concerned face Police Disciplinary Procedures.
This idiotic prosecution by the Crown Prosecution Service should raise great concern amongst rank-and-file police officers. As for the senior ranks of the Police Service, both north and south of The Border, don't expect any common sense as they are long past praying for anyway.

MICHAEL MATHESON MSP (3)
Michael Matheson MSP, the greasy little crook and long-time Justice Secretary in Nicola Sturgeon's corrupt administrations, has decided he will not stand for Holyrood again. No wonder. He was on a hiding to nothing from the electorate ever since he fraudulently claimed over £11,000 in parliamentary expenses for misuse of a government telephone while on holiday abroad and refused to resign.
That was a year or two back. Only now has Matheson decided he will call it a day - but only after having pocketed over £300,000 in pay and allowances since he defrauded the country. How's that for a brass neck and two fingers to the electorate?
He should be in the slammer.

SWINNEY MEETS TRUMP JUNIOR!
John Swinney, beleived to be First Minister of Scotland, met a Trump Junior a day or two back. No one knows the purpose of the meeting or why it took place.
Shameful - and for a man who refuses to meet his own constituents.
What a crawler. What a creep. We wouldn't trust Swinney further than we could throw him.

NICOLA STURGEON GONE FOR GOOD
Well, that's it over. Nicola Sturgeon, the most malign and divisive figure ever in UK politics - and a mortal danger to the safety of women - has called it a day.
Thank you, Lord, for small mercies.

ANOTHER GOVERNMENT MINISTER BITES THE DUST
If our arithmetic is correct, the resignation of International Development Minister, Anneliese Dodds, is the fourth Government Ministerial casualty since July last year. Not that we had ever heard of Ms Dodds, as it happens.
At this rate, they will all be gone within a year. Bring it on, please, and hurry.
