Harris's Downfall

Calton has to admit that he found Tom Harris's video 'Joan's Downfall' really funny. He also thinks that Tom was entirely correct in deciding to resign from his post as Labour's media advisor given that his brief was to 'improve the level of political debate on social media'. Joan McAlpine has sunk it to the level of mud-slinging with her anti-Scottish comments on twitter, however that doesn't mean that others have to join her. The trouble is that, yet again, attention is being drawn away from the real issues to trivia. Fortunately the wee red squirrel has kept his eye on the ball. Calton is now resolving to do likewise.
