Daniel Finkelstein kindly links to my piece below. Oh dear, I hope this doesn't look like returning the favour, because I was about to write about it anyway...
Daniel links to this ridiculous piece of waste by Alex Salmond:
Ministers have come up with a "vibrant" new message to greet tourists arriving at Scotland's airports.
The new greeting, "Welcome to Scotland", will replace the previous slogan proclaiming Scotland to be "The Best Small Country in the World".
First Minister Alex Salmond was highly critical of the old phrase, launched by the previous Holyrood administration.
Opposition MSPs were sceptical about its replacement, but the SNP government said it was about more than a slogan.
Indeed. It's called a greeting. Such as I have seen at every airport I have ever been to.
