Trot tantrums : great boost for hotel sector, report finds.
With one Glasgow hotel enjoying record business last weekend as both sides in the SSP split booked the place out, sector sources are predicting a big increase in business volumes in this little exploited market.

A hotel spokesnotowelsinthebathroomagain told the JT :"Research shows that ultra-left cabals tend to subdivide every week. It’s a big potential market, provided hotel staff can put up with 8 hours of rhetoric-heavy shouting and screaming - and that’s just the audience."

With airlinks between Weegiewurld and Europe burgeoning, moves are now afoot to position Glasgow as the destination of choice for Trot groups intent on public self-immolation.

"There’s a long and honourable tradition of Italian ultra-leftist groups splitting" our source observes. "At the last count, the number of Italian ultra-leftist groups exceeded the population of that bit of Foreign, so there’s lot of growth left in that market."

And it’s not just the Trots; world wide, anarchist groups famously fall out every week. News comes of the Blackhill Black Flag Anarcho-Syndicalist Group, comprising Andy and Hector, who haven’t spoken since Andy accused Hector of petit-bourgeois revisionism when Hector went on holiday for a week in Benidorm and didn’t bring Andy back any stuff.

Elsewhere on planet politics, a new biography claims that Charles Kennedy, ex-leader of the Lib-Dems was completely bladdered for most of his tipsy tenure. Mind you, if I was forced to look at Ross Finnie’s coupon every other day I’d have stayed gassed as well...
