Hamish Macdonell - Mike Russell, part II

YOU have to feel just a little bit sorry for Mike Russell.
The new arts minister was pilloried in yesterday's Daily Record for his embarrassing descriptions of parts of Scotland (can't go to Glasgow without stepping over a drug addict, that sort of thing).
Despite his fury at the Record, he then had to go on the BBC yesterday evening to support those very same Record journalists who had given him a kicking in the face of threatened redundancies by the Record management.
Being a minister must be a constant trial ...
