| Following an ITC ruling that Mad
Tony's recent televised Q and A should have been blacked out in Scotland, STV have agreed
that the other parties contesting Falkirk West are due screen time. Despite
the fact that Tony's show fared badly against other channels offerings - with BBC2's
seminal "Open University Maths Foundation Unit 12: Algorithms are groovy" first
shown in 1973 scoring especially high, petted-lipped representatives from the other
parties have demanded parity.
So, in the run up to Xmas, viewers who tune into STV by mistake can expect
literally seconds of top class entertainment , featuring:
- "John Swinney, master illusionist"- gasp as he magically conjures away
the SNP's previous poll lead. (assisted by Lovely Nicola The Talking Fish)
- "Getting pissed with Charlie", the Lib-Dems' national leader gets
pissed and twats Jim Wallace.
|
- "It was better in the old days" Scottish Tory Party Leadership
reminisce before being given their tea and a tablet.
- "Live from Saughton"- blubathon as Tommy Sheridan suffers the agonies
of withdrawal - deprived of a sun-bed for a week.
All of this planned publicity for the other parties creates a problem for Labour
in Scotland, so we can expect a number of high-profile policy launches to steal back the
limelight.
On Monday, Susan Deacon will announce the end of all
human pain and suffering, on Tuesday Henry McLeish will ascend, accompanied by celestial
trumpets, to join God in Heaven, and on Wednesday, Minister for Miracles Wendy Alexander
will donate her eyebrows to medical science. |
