Iain Gray on Newsnight Scotland 7th May 2008

Quagmire from Family Guy lookalike Iain Gray MSP is a man on a mission. A mission to get the hell out of the BBC's Edinburgh studio. Look at his eyes, darting away from camera every 20 seconds, desperately seeking an illuminated 'FIRE EXIT' sign to make quick his escape.

Sadly for Iain, and happily for Gordon Brewer and us, he's going nowhere.

Apologies for the audio sync issues.

If you genuinely think *any* political party in Scotland are particularly interested in protecting criminals, you're off your trolley.

@idrathernotthannever. Read my original comment again. In Westminster it is Labour or Tory. The SNP can't win in a westminster contest therefore unless you want a Tory government you should vote Labour. The fact that Labour's vote held up in Scotland in 2010 meant the tories did not win an overall majority. Labour lost seats in every electoral region of the UK apart from Scotland.

@RichardElden do your home work only 11billion a year comes from the exchequer and even at this it has been estimated with oil revenue the scots subsidize the rest of the uk by £800 a head per annam 2006 alone. but thats for by the by your original argument of voting labour to keep the torys out does not and never has worked for scotland

[idrathernotthannever]

@RichardElden It's not labour or Liberal policy cut backs but new neo liberalism of old tory new right individualism ideas of " the big society" that are being implemented at westminster. and who is the prim-minister? a tory .It doesn't matter who scotland votes for in a westminster election its Englands leafy suburbs and the home counties that decide the government or have you forgotten the 80s when once again scotland voted Labour only to get Thatcher, and mass redundancy. SNP= vote counts

[idrathernotthannever]

@RichardElden Oh yea billy connolly the man who compared scotland to bosnia? He knows all about racism all right

[idrathernotthannever]

most of scotland had the same idea and voted overwhelmingly for labour and what did we get a tory government in all but name GOOD CALL.
