Thick Henry has a go at reading big wurdz

"The trouble with Henry is that he is thick".

And with these immortal words did a Scottish Labour Party "colleague" stab the new leader of the party in Scotland, Henry McLeish between the shoulder blades.

And what was the reason for the kebabbing of Thick Henry ?

He floated an innocuous proposal to rename the Scottish Executive the "Scottish Government".

The cad, the bounder, the thick bastard.

He could have not have imagined the fury he would provoke.

Someone who is thick - William Hague showing off a big bogie.

New Labour sources in London fuelled the kebabbing by labelling McLeish as incompetent (all off the record of course). Tam Dalyell, ever the friend of Unionism proclaimed : "This is the break-up of the United Kingdom."

But what is the issue here ? Decentralisation is widely practiced across the globe and devolved administrations are frequently referred to as "governments".

Could it be that Henry has ambitions and an agenda ?

We will watch with interest.
