Archer’s resignation from the London mayoral race after it was revealed he lied in court was the thing that got Paul Foot up from his sickbed and contributing again, having first started chronicling Archer’s lies and misdemeanours in 1969. From the Private Eye archive. Issue 992, December 1999.

That was good fun today. Thistle were superb. It could have been 5 or 6. Rock solid in defence as well. Ashcroft was great and a candidate for man of the match.

Some of the coverage of the National side by Scotland’s football journalists is simply atrocious. The guy has been in charge for two games.

Why on Earth won’t your union help? That’s insane. Do you think counselling/therapy might help? It’s sounds like you’re surrounded by mountains and it’s difficult to know where to go.

Man, that sounds tough. Have you got any definitive answers? Does your work have an occupational health service? Do you have union representation? You might be eligible for reasonable adjustments at your workplace. There’s a range of services.

The Swiss are clearly a top side with a deserved victory. Think Jack Hendry’s Scotland days should be over. On the plus side, Gilmour continues to impress as did McBurnie. Liam McLeod remains an awful commentator.

This march was designed to spread tensions and hatred, and to intimidate the community and families who live there. Scotland should not be providing policing resources for sectarian events like this that are called to inflame tensions.
The National. Questions over Police Scotland officers sent to Orange Order walk. Scottish Greens are seeking clarity over the role of Police Scotland officers and demanding a review of the agreement that enabled their deployment.
