This is an interview with Mike Russell, the Scottish Cabinet Secretary for Education and Lifelong Learning recorded on March 3 2010. Lesley Riddoch questions Mike Russell just before he left to visit Sweden and Finland to examine their educational processes.
I used to write to Russell when the SNP were in opposition and I always received supportive replies, about how the SNP would re-organise the arts in Scotland and get behind cultural projects.
Ten years on, the career politician neither responds to contact nor did he do much art all for the arts when it was his remit.
How predictable.
