Blame shame

On the national news we were treated to the unedifying spectacle of our First Minister ranting and raving at Labour because they had failed to form a coalition at Westminster in which the SNP would have been involved.

Salmond is now playing the blame game for the cuts that are inevitable. It is time for these public servants to grow up and start addressing the problems we have all had a part in. If he needs any help I would suggest some cutting at the expensive blot on the landscape that is the Scottish Parliament.
