"Congratulations! And jubilations!" etc.
Professional heid the ba’ and SSP MSP, Carolyn Leckie scored an unusual double-first this week.

First, Carolyn managed to get herself thrown out of the Parly by hacking off Heid Jannie, George Reid, by refusing to sit down after failing to successfully raise a point of order.

Mr Reid, aware that the session was over-running reminded Ms Leckie that he still had to stack up all the chairs before going for his bus.

Unabashed, Carolyn then topped off a magnificent day’s work by (and I swear I’m not making this up) saying later that Scotland should have its own Eurovision song contest entry.

Apparently with a straight face, Ms Leckie argued that the failure of the UK entry to

amass more than nul points in Istanbul was due to other nations protesting at the UK ‘s involvement in Iraq.

Contacted by the JT for comment, an Iraqi civilian applauded Ms Leckie’s initiative : "Scotland having its own Eurovision entry would send out a clear message to the Coalition that the SSP doesn’t approve of the continuing war. But while that’s being organised I’d like to immediately send out my own clear message to the Coalition forces - gonnae stop shooting us?"

While far too modest and retiring to put his own musical musings forward, it is thought that the SSP’s supremo’s epic lyrical achievement "We must sweep away the Forces of Reaction with the iron broom of Revolutionary Praxis" would be an absolute stone wall certainty to scoop the Eurovision top slot.
