A quite remarkable press release

This popped up in the LabourList inbox overnight, and we thought it worth sharing with a wider audience.

It’s Scottish labour, the quote is from MSP Patricia Ferguson, and it relates to the SNPs upcoming announcement of the date for the Scottish Referendum. We can’t decide which bit is our favourite, the delightfully sing-song “announcing their announcement now”, or the reference to a squirrel.

Yes, a squirrel. Here it is:

“The SNP have kept Scotland in the dark over this date.

“They are announcing their announcement now, to deflect attention because they are in such deep trouble over their plans for state control of the press.

“It’s the equivalent of saying, ‘look…there’s a squirrel’.”
