David Maddox: The business of government (2)

Arrived this morning to discover an e-mail from Kevin Pringle, Alex Salmond's chief spin doctor, regarding the posting yesterday on the Scottish Cabinet watching President Obama's inauguration as part of their official cabinet meeting. Nice to know that the powers behind the throne are reading The Steamie.
In response to me asking why they weren't getting down to the business of running Scotland and sitting around watching TV instead, he had a (slightly tongue in cheek) answer.
"I detected a shared agenda between President Obama and the Scottish Government! - not least on renewable energy," he said.
Perhaps a nod too to my prediction in the blog that it wouldn't take long for our politicians to attach Obama's name to their policies. As ever, the SNP got in first.
