Goldie Grabs the Bull by the Horns at Holyrood

The New Year has barely had time to settle in and the big freeze threatens to hit the Nation again but the gloves are off at Holyrood where Annabel has been ruffling a few feathers by offering her no-nonsense promise to the people ahead of the May Election.

Now, let's not have the usual knee-jerk reaction to Aunty Bella's comments here. I do not - and neither will any of my 67 Candidate colleagues including Annabel herself - think for one minute that we will all be off cavassing in the run up to May 5th knocking on doors and letting rip with a barrage of unsuitable language greeting potential voters.

On the contrary.

These frank and honest comments published in today's Scotland on Sunday by our Leader and indeed others from within the political circuit, will hopefully show that Politicians are in fact also human beings.

Politicians are people too and whilst swearing isn't big and isn't clever, a dose of realism must be taken into account here.

It's maybe time those in politics are looked upon as "not just another politician".
