RYDER CUP POSTSCRIPT

Oh, My God !


Just seen that the trophy has been presented by Alex Salmond, wearing the most appalling pair of tartan trousers.


To have Salmond presenting the trophy was, on it's own, contentious given that more than half of the Scottish population didn't vote for his independence motion and the 'welcome' he received from the crowd showed this. His presence was a purely political move and is deplorable; his trousers simply made the matter worse.


Why do politicians feel the need to intrude into non-political arenas in this way ? Why don't they, instead, concentrate on the often earth-shaking events for which we elect them ? Only they can say, though we all know.
