News of The World - part 1 - Tommy Sheridan

So Tommy Sheridan, late of the Scottish Parliament, Scottish Socialist Party and the Big Brother House is now in jail.

It is good to know that the lofty reputation of Scottish politics is being upheld as stories of swingers parties, perjury claims and phone tapping swirl around the Web c/o this trial.

The background
  • Allegations were made that Sheridan took part in swingers parties while a Member of the Scottish Parliament.
  • So Sheridan sues the NOTW for defamation in court and wins.
  • Followed by further allegations that Sheridan committed perjury to win his case.
  • Then Sheridan is found guilty of perjury and sentenced to three years in prison.
  • Result - all the Scottish political journalists have a good laugh behind the scenes and Scotland's reputation as a serious, independent, political entity takes another bashing around the world.
