David Maddox: For Foulkes Sake (8)

Lord George Foulkes, Baron of Cumnock, MSP for Lothians and First Lord of the Twittery has been at it again, as you can read in his column in today's Evening News.

He has wound up his opponents by suggesting that MPs and MSPs are underpaid and that lavish expenses are not as bad as they might seem.

But, there was a hint of irony in the response from the SNP claiming that the noble one was "out of touch."

In the second piece of the column, Lord Foulkes took a pop at his favourite target cybernats - the lunatic fringe of Scottish nationalism who stay up all night to write vitriol on newspaper websites. One of his complaints was that their grammar is appalling and they cannot spell.

This must be why the SNP press release condemning him misspelt his name "Fou8llkes." So maybe he is not as out of touch as they suggested.
