Goldie in gutter

Although I am not a Tory supporter I have always admired Annabel Goldie for her feistiness and commonsense approach. I was therefore very disappointed to read of her description of Nick Clegg as a "horse fly" and a "nasty little blemish". By commenting in such a manner to score cheap political points she descended into gutter politics. She has done both the Scottish political class and herself a great disservice. Shame on her.
