"Dingbat" strikes again

In amongst all the serious and not-so-serious stuff happening lately, I've been cheered to see that one of my favourite Nat MSPs - Christine "Dingbat" Grahame - has been mouthing off, after months of silence.

She's had a go at the Royals:

“Give them credit, they are good at the re-inventing malarkey. After the Diana nonsense, when complete strangers lemming-like threw themselves into publicity-driven grief, through Charles and Camilla’s redemption, we are now spoon-fed the William & Kate Show, the latter ironically committed like her deceased predecessor to remaining stick thin for photogenic reasons."

For reference, here is a picture of the fragrant Duchess of Cambridge (oh yes, Countess of Strathearn, for the picky):


And here is one of "Dingbat":


I don't know about you, but I reckon that before you criticise somebody else's appearance, you need to think a wee bit about your own. It's even in the Bible somewhere.

When I look at this picture of "Dingbat", immediately after thinking "AAARGH! My EYES!", the phrases "two badly-parked Volkswagens" and "gravity in action" leap to mind.

As for the hairdo, I assume it is a perfect fit for the tinfoil helmet she must wear at home.

She also went on to expressed irritation that the John Lewis store sold items branded with the Union flag.

“As a Scot that also gets my goat."

That's it - goat! That's what that picture reminds me of!

Look, you utter Doris, we are all British and this year is the Diamond Jubilee of Her Britannic Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Have you got that yet?

I sincerely hope that His Immensity Kim Sal Mond will allow "Dingbat" full freedom to campaign in the forthcoming referendum. Seriously.
