More on the storm in a teacup

There's no story here, but Nicola Strugeon, future leader of the SNP (according to her hype anyway) is like a pitbull with the Jack and Kirsty issue. As reported in today's Guardian

"Ms Sturgeon asked the first minister to stand up in the Scottish parliament and declare details of all of the hospitality afforded to him by Wark, following the revelation today that Mr McConnell had also been on holiday with the broadcaster on a previous occasion, in 2003.

If Mr McConnell accedes to the demand, he could be forced into making an embarrassing roll-call of social occasions that his family has spent with the broadcaster, her husband and TV production company partner Alan Clements and their children."


Why would it be embarrassing, Jack, like anyone, has friends, I don't know Kirsty, but I met Jack a fair number of times during my time in Stirling and he's a genuine guy, not everyone's cup of tea, but what you see with him is what you get. He would have nothing to hide by detailing his friendship, but I think it's a huge invasion of privacy that he should be asked to.
