John MacDougall MP: Thirty Years Public Life in Fife

I did nothing of the sort and would be grateful if you would make that clear. I was told that a Labour MP had died - I had it double sourced, but I did not name John Macdougall or anyone else. Get your facts straight.

Iain
Double-sourced is no good when both your sources are wrong!
I'd love to see you run that defence in a libel case.

What about the terrible sick story the SNP were campainging before he had died. That is sick. Do the tories and SNP have a soon to die list of MPs to campaign in the seats of before they die. It is sick and shows a harsh inhumanity.
