| Following news last week that MSP
Tommy Sheridan has recorded a (ahem) "rap" track, Labour in Scotland have swung
behind plans to launch the recording career of John "Gramsci's in da house"
Reid. Mr Reid, the cruelly underemployed Scottish Secretary, has signed a
deal with Ronco to record an album of songs reflecting the ex-CP member's
"robust" reading of Marxist-Leninism .
Track listings include:
- "Tell me dear comrade, how much is that T34 in the window, the one with the
quick loading 30mm assault cannon?"
- "So this is Christmas and tell me comrade peasant what have you done to
ensure that the targets in the current Five Year Plan are being met?"
|
- "All I want for Christmas is soviet power and the
electrification of the whole country."
Not to be outdone, tawny trot Tommy has already set in train
plans to release the text of his speech to the SSP conference set against what the young
people would describe as a "bitchin'" drum 'n' bass backing track.
The speech, "We must sweep away the litter of reaction with the iron broom
of revolutionary praxis" * has been edited down to a more manageable length from its
original five hours.
John Swinney's crooned blub-fest "I believe in Father Christmas and I also
believe we can take Falkirk West" has yet to find a recording deal. |
