Announcing an innovation never before seen in all of human history!
Actually, that’s a lie.

But this feature is new to The JT so you may want to know how it came about.

Picture the scene Dear Reader, with your Editor and SO watching the BBC Scotland news the other night. The image of culture minister Patricia Ferguson graces the screen with her presence and my SO says : "You know who she looks like? Isa from Still Game. "

"Oh Christ, you’re right!" I cry in reply. And so our version of a satiric trope found in every mag on the planet came to be.

Have a look at our collection and see what you think. If you fancy having a go yourself , check out the Scottish Parliament MSPs and if you can see a resemblance between an MSP and someone famous send it in.

They have to be famous, mind. Much as I love to hear from JT residents stranded in Cow’s Arse, Iowa and the like, insisting on that, say, Nicola Sturgeon is a dead ringer for Misty Isobar, weather anchor on Cow’s Arse News At Eleven, won’t, tragically, cut it.

A word of warning tho’ . The minute we start receiving threatening emails from lawyers for MSPS and/or the copyright owners of the photos, the whole feature will be pulled jig time.

Incidentally, if you’re an MSP and your picture and celeb pairing doesn’t appear this week, do write in suggesting who you think you look like. The going rate is £500 if you want to be compared to Brad Pitt, and a similar sum if you think you look like Jennifer Aniston.

We don’t care if you’re deluded, we just want your money.

Actually, in putting this thing together, I came across an MSP whose the spit of one of The Fat Slags, out of Viz.

My lips are sealed… Which makes eating a bit tricky.

Oh, and for the first and possibly last time, we’ve made John Swinney look cool by association… A cheque will do fine John.
