SNP Conference: Diary- Kenny MacAskill knows he's on to a winner
The Kailyard Cup for the couthiest contribution to conference yet again goes to Kenny MacAskill. The old Scots saying "If ye fly wi the craws, yi get shot wi the craws" was how he summarised legislation cracking down on lawyers and accountants who turn a blind eye to crime.
Kenny added his own wee gem: "We've not got the best fitba' team in the world but they're oor team and we're proud of them. Scotland's not the biggest country in the world, but it's oor ain hameland and we're all proud of it."
