Ring the Changes...

RRR was delighted to learn yesterday that Professor David Bell of the University of Stirling has been confirmed as adviser to the Finance Committee of the Scottish Parliament. This is, to be sure, a first rate appointment. As our regular readers will understand, RRR is equally pleased that - in this publicly funded capacity at least - Red Midwinter has been kicked into the long grass from where, no doubt, he will continue his role as adviser to the West of Scotland's Anti-Democracy Party.
