Tis the New Year, and therefore time for the first of this year's Prats of The Week Awards.
This week it goes to the Scottish Government.
For why?
For their remarkable largess, in the face of biting austerity, towards a couple of Pandas (Tian Tian and Yang Guang) on loan from China.
The Scottish Government spent £43K on a “welcome party” for the Edinburgh Zoo pandas, previously the Scottish Government had promised that all money would “come
from commercial sponsorship and other revenue sources”.
Now don't get me wrong, I love a good party and a good panda as much as the next man. I also appreciate that the pandas will draw in revenue to the city.
However, given that this is a time of austerity and given that the money to be earned from the tourists visiting the pandas will benefit in main the private sector, maybe the private sector should have stumped up all the cash for the welcome party?
The Scottish government, well deserving Prats of The Week!

I can't wait to see Mr Salmond appear on TV and say;

Yes. We should stop trying to hold back evolution.

That's how the world works!
But Scotland has the Chinese salmon concession now that Norway blew it by giving a nobel prize to Aye Wee Wee!
