Sometimes I wonder if politicians in this country (and probably everywhere) go out of their way to look foolish. Today's nonsense in Scotland is about Christmas cards - particularly the design chosen for the First Minister's card. The image offends political opponents because the saltire is deemed to be a symbol of nationalism... well, it is our national flag. Doh!Would I have chosen this card? No.
Is it worth a political stooshie? No.
Will our politicians ever grow up? I'll leave that for you to decide.

Looks pretty nice too me.
I think the critics might have a point - Christmas is more about coming out of the trenches for a game of football, than raising the battle flags...

I agree with your sentiment. I suppose that my frustration is that attacking the choice of a Christmas card, simply reflected poorly on all parties. There are more important things for our politicians to focus on.
Actually, I don't think that our politicians playing football would be a very peaceful event in this day and age - bruises, abrasions, broken limbs and recriminations would be the most likely outcome!
