Sadly, Saturday's good gardening intentions went awry because of the rain and Sunday was full of grandchildren so neither house nor garden received any attention. Grrr...it means trying to catch up with the cleaning before I go out to work and the gardening when I get back...it ain't necessarily fun...
Unsurprised by Wendy's decision to go...the SNP hyenas had sunk their teeth and drawn blood and were never likely to let go soon. In truth, I didn't think leadership was her forte. Super nova clever, she certainly is, gleaming personal integrity also, but her political judgement seems a bit random to me...however, her departure leaves Labour and the Scottish Parliament in the soup.
Labour, because we are leaderless again without a ravishingly obvious candidate to replace her...
...The Scottish Parliament, because it demonstrates once again it is not 'big' or grown up enough to deal with minor infractions. Grown up parliaments know how, in the greater interest of the institution's well being and reputation, to admonish and move on. In the Scottish Parliament it is one punishment for every crime - a completely disproportionate response: partisanship can go too far and when it does it looks just like the situation Wendy has found herself in - vicious, nasty and immature.
